Frank Sinatra with Donna Reed in From Here to Eternity (1952). With Sinatra’s music and movie careers having stalled, it was rumoured that Johnny Rosselli put Mob pressure on Harry Cohn of Columbia Pictures to cast Sinatra in the movie.

Sinatra signed to Capitol Records, recorded the songs for which he’s best known, and became a far bigger star than before.

But, the story goes, Johnny Rosselli threatened Cohn with the consequences if Sinatra wasn’t given the part. Sinatra was subsequently offered the role and it won him a Best Supporting Actor Oscar. His film career was re-launched, he signed to Capitol Records, recorded the songs for which he’s best known, and became a far bigger star than he’d been before.
