Paul Anka Says Long-Rumored Frank Sinatra Endowment Was Real

Anka made the claim during Page Six promotion for an HBO Max documentary about his career.

Overview

  • In a Page Six interview, the 84-year-old singer said of Sinatra’s anatomy, “Yeah, it was huge,” adding a joking disclaimer.
  • Anka cited Las Vegas sauna sessions with the Rat Pack as the setting where he saw Sinatra nude, quipping that he had trouble with eye contact.
  • He added that comedian Milton Berle appeared even larger, calling it a surprising comparison.
  • The rumor has circulated for decades, often traced to a ribald line attributed to Sinatra’s second wife, Ava Gardner.
  • Entertainment outlets quickly amplified Anka’s remarks as his HBO Max film, Paul Anka: My Way, debuts and a new album is slated for early next year.
