Major Ego Trip for Mrs S.
Seems like every good decision Mr Sinatra made after meeting Barbara Marx she directly had a hand in his decisions, and always because of her; the correct one. (Her recollections of how he came to record "New York, New York" because of her is just one of many pretty fantastic recollections). Other than a couple of times mentioning Frank Jr., she never discusses his family. Not sure how libelous saying they were there at this or that time would have made any difference to her story; other than taking away from "her"story. She also takes a turn at crime-fighting when she describes how because of her efforts, muggers were dispatched;in a story that took place after Mr Sinatra passed.
It was interesting to hear about Mr Sinatra at home, and during the time leading up to his passing, if most of it is to be believed. (Thought it was odd she related a story Don Rickles often tells about Mr Sinatra and lightning being mistaken for paparazzi flash bulbs. Rickles I get; but Mr. Sinatra's wife? Made Mr Sinatra sound old and out of it coming from her)
She seems like a woman who thinks she was somehow relevant to show business by simply being a bystander to a life that really was.
