On stage and at the movies, The Rat Pack was the epitome of mid-twentieth-century celebrity and the foregone era of glitz and glamour. As a crew, they represented wealth, fame, talent, and this unachievable lavish lifestyle devoid of the constraints of responsibility.

The Rat Pack was this self-contained variety show of sorts comprised of some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry from the 1940s to the 1960s. There was just something so alluring about seeing big names dressed in tuxes, often with a glass of scotch or cognac in one hand and a cigarette in the other, singing songs, doing spot-on impressions, and exchanging playful jabs with each other.

Most people tend to think that the Rat Pack originated with Frank Sinatra and his old drinking buddies, but in reality, it got its start with actor Humphrey Bogart and his friends. The second, Sinatra-fronted incarnation of the Rat Pack made films together and performed at Las Vegas casino venues.

Ol' Blue Eyes, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, and Joey Bishop were the most famous members of the ragtag group, but they weren't the only ones that considered themselves proud Rat Packers. Stars like Errol Flynn, Mickey Rooney, and Nat King Cole regularly met up at the Holmby Hills home of Bogart and Lauren Bacall in the late 1940s and early 1950s and kicked it with the crew.
