Gregory Peck presents the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award to Frank Sinatra

I was certain I had Frank Sinatra's number, the mafia connections....the small man complex....I was wrong. From what I have learned....Frank Sinatra was a generous and good hearted man, a man who never forgot his working class roots, a man who put ego and fame to one side in order to help the average citizen. No acclaim, no applause needed, just quietly helping people who needed a helping hand. My view of this man has changed 100%....this clarity comes from the many many people who attest to Sinatra's desire to help those who are struggling....this is a total revelation to me. A beautiful revelation.

RIP Frank Sinatra (December 12, 1915 – May 14, 1998), aged 82 And RIP Gregory Peck (April 5, 1916 – June 12, 2003), aged 87 You both will always be remembered as legends.

What a lot of people don't know mr, Sinatra was a huge humanitarian a generous man a class act and a professional, my dad's favorite singer and actor ,R.I.P Mr, Sinatra

Great post and Sinatra was not only a great entertainer and talented actor, on occassion but a MAJOR humanitarian!

Nothing like the oscars today. This is when oscars, Grammys or Emmys much like were worth watching.

Sinatra had as many detractors as he did loyal fans. But the man's generosity, often anonymously, was never questioned. He often paid for total stranger's hospital stays, without even giving his name. That reveals a big heart. And to have a man like Gregory Peck give him this award says it all. RIP.

Frank Sinatra was an extraordinary American. He left so much beauty to this world. His songs, his films and most of all, by the life he led. Brovo Mr. Sinatra, whereever you are.

if Gregory Peck couldn't lend an air of class to an event then there was no hope.

I definitely agree with Mr. Sinatra in relation to men and women who do not receive recognition if he/she are not famous. I am immensely joyous that both Mr. Peck and Mr. Sinatra has devoted generous assistance and courageous fight for equality to mankind in different locations on this Earth, and why I admire both individuals. If only I was given the opportunity to converse with Mr. Peck and Mr. Sinatra, I would thank both for their contribution to helping other people, to cinema and exemplifying courage to defend against wrong.

Wow. What an audience! Rosiland Russell has Freddie Brisson (her husband aka "The Lizard of Roz') on one side and George Cukor on the other. Next to Cukor is the luminous Jeanne Moreau. On the other side of Freddie is a beauty in lavender. Not sure if it is Loretta Young (a good friend of Roz) or Veronique Peck (Greg's wife). I lean toward the latter. The is NO mistaking the woman in front of her--Mrs. Coretta Scott King, widow of the slain civil rights leader.

I didn´t not much about "the Voice", but his deeds are really semething to be commended, remarcable Award, great clip, thank you for sending this

what a great and humble speech.

Happy Birthday Frank. You were a great human being.

So much I never knew about old blue eyes. My Mum loved him and my Dad used to sing his songs to her "mind you it after he'd had a few too many drinks "

As we know, Sinatra briefly retired in 1971 after appearing in a series of undistinguished movies, only to re-emerge in 1973 with the Old Blue Eyes Is Back television special with Gene Kelly and the high selling album. Thereafter, he continued performing and recording through the mid 90s. In addition to the hospitals and charitable endeavors enumerated by Gregory Peck, Frank and Barbara created a clinic for abused children in Palm Springs.

That was a wonderful acceptance speech.

What a wonderful voice this man had!

ENTERTAINER OF THE CENTURY!

Listen to his recordings.

Yes that is Nancy Jr. and next to the empty seat next to her is Tina. On her other side is Liv Ullman.
