Lady Blue Eyes
Barbara Sinatra
Thirty years after she first heard his voice singing on the jukebox, Barbara Ann Blakely heard Frank Sinatra take the wedding vows that began his fourth, final, and most enduring marriage.
In Lady Blue Eyes, she celebrates the husband she adored. For more than two decades, Barbara was by his side. From her own humble beginnings to her time as a model and her marriage to Zeppo Marx, Barbara Sinatra reveals a life lived with passion, conviction, and grace.
In stories that leap off the page, she takes us behind the scenes and paints an intimate portrait of a man who was variously generous, jealous, witty, and wicked. This is much more than the story of a showbiz marriage. It is a story of a deep and lifelong love.

"Frank was, without doubt, the most romantic man I have ever met." – and that feeling permeates the pages throughout. - Publishers Weekly
