Book Description
As a young man, Tony has it all including supportive, loving parents and siblings. He was one of the most popular young men in high school and definitely part of the “in crowd.” Schoolwork always comes easy enough for him to get passing grades without trying very hard. The fact that Tony likes to live dangerously “on the edge” and is a very mischievous teenager seems to make him all the more appealing to others, especially all the girls. He is passionate about body fitness and it shows in his physique. Tony is also one of the most charming, handsome and well-mannered teenagers you could ever meet. And, he knows exactly how to use these qualities to his advantage. As the middle child, Tony is best friend to his brother who is exactly two years older and a great admirer and protector of his beautiful sister who is three years younger. Unlike Tony, his brother Tyke is an exceptional student who has to work hard to earn his good grades. But, that doesn’t stop Tony from convincing Tyke to get into mischief with him from time to time. In fact, as Tyke watches the teenager that Tony becomes, Tyke feels compelled to spend more time with his younger brother to ensure his well-being. In spite of Tyke’s efforts, however, he is not able to protect his brother from a near-fatal accident. It is at this point that Tony’s life takes a downward spiral.

Sinatra and Me
Author: Tony Consiglio
Publisher: Post Hill Press
ISBN: 1637584083
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 846
Book Description
Not many people were allowed inside Frank Sinatra's inner circle. But Tony Consiglio was a boyhood friend of Sinatra's who remained his friend and confidant for over sixty years. One reason Sinatra valued Tony’s friendship is that he could be trusted: Sinatra nicknamed him "the Clam" because Tony never spoke to reporters or biographers about the singer. From the early days when Sinatra was trying to establish himself as a singer to the mid-1960s, Tony worked with Sinatra and was there to share in the highs and lows of Sinatra's life and career. Tony was with Sinatra during his "bobby-soxer" megastar days in the 1940s, and he remained loyal to Sinatra during the lean years of the early 1950s, when "the Voice" was struggling with a crumbling singing and acting career—as well as his tumultuous marriage to Ava Gardner. Tony also had a front row seat to Sinatra's comeback in the 1950s, starting with his Academy Award–winning role in From Here to Eternity and a string of now-classic hit recordings. Tony's friendship with Sinatra allowed him to rub elbows with the Hollywood elite, including Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis, Sammy Davis, Jr., Peter Lawford, Kim Novak, Ava Gardner, and many others. It also brought him close to the political world of the early 1960s, when Sinatra campaigned for John F. Kennedy and then helped plan the Kennedy inauguration. Tony was even at the Kennedy compound in Hyannis, Massachusetts, when the election results came in. Sinatra and Me will shed new light on the real Frank Sinatra—from the man who knew him better than anyone.
