A Family Man
Deana said that her dad, unlike his friends Sammy Davis Jr. and Frank Sinatra, was very much a family man. She said: “Dad came home every night… He wouldn’t stay up with Uncle Frank and Uncle Sammy, he didn’t want to do that.” His friends would go off and do whatever they wanted, but Dean would always want to spend time with his family.
Joey Bishop Chimed In
Another member of the Rat Pack opened up about the truth. Joey Bishop said that he would never actually get drunk for the performances and that the bad boy reputation of the group was nothing but a joke. This verified what Deana said. That would mean that they truly fooled audiences who would be shocked to learn this today.
