Thank you for reading and commenting! One of the (many) rumors that swirled around Sinatra and the Mob was that, in essence, he used his ties to get the part of Maggio. Several sources who were involved in the making of "From Here to Eternity" have denied that, and it is unfortunate that there are those who doubt Sinatra's talent and seriousness as an actor. You can find my two other articles on Sinatra at the bottom of the article, and there will be more covering the rest of his life.
