They were the arbiters of hip and the epitome of cool. On stage and off, they were show biz legends.
In the heyday of Vegas the Rat Pack--Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford and Joey Bishop--were royalty. Their exploits were celebrated, their excesses allowed and their performances sold out. BIOGRAPHY. uses performance clips, archival footage and home movies to profile the legendary band of playboys who left their mark on American culture. This four-hour special hits the jackpot by revealing the story everyone wants to know but that has never been told--the connection that brought them together and took them to the top of the heap. Get the inside scoop from people like Jerry Lewis, Milton Berle, Angie Dickinson and others, and thrill to never-before-seen footage from events like the Kennedy Inaugural gala, where even the King of Camelot was outshone by the boys of the Rat Pack.
