Wonderful interview! THANKS for sharing! I was especially intrigued by Frank Jr's story about how his dad would go over scripys with his neighbor, Boris Karloff, who had become a mentor to him. This is the first I heard of it! Quite heartwarming. Boris played many monsters & villians but off screen he was known as being extremely kind & gentle. Frank Jr mentioned country swing star Spade Cooley, Cooley was sentenced to prison for brutally beating his wife to death in 1961. He was paroled in '69 but died in prison before his release.
I met Mr. Sinatra at the Riviera Hotel in the coffee shop with my Mother & the late Totie Fields & they were having lunch. He met me & always called me the Kid afterwards. I always called him Mr. Sinatra. He was very kind to me.

Snyder should let Frank Jr. Finish his answers complete a sentence. Can't keep his mouth shut.
