Frank Sinatra's Neighborhood: The Hollywood Elite

In the post-WWII era, Sinatra made this neighborhood "his" when his Twin Palms home became party central. Many of his celebrity neighbors in this charming, prestigious area were his close friends, Tony Curtis, Janet Leigh, Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, among others.
