Washington (ANI Legendary singer Frank Sinatra's turbulent love affair with screen stunner Ava Gardner made him attempt suicide twice in almost a year, reveals a new tell-all book about the star. Written by celebrity author Tom Santopietro, the book, titled 'Sinatra in Hollywood', details the singer's alleged internal struggles.

Sinatra married Gardner in 1951, making her the second of his four wives. Santopietro's book revealed that Sinatra cut his wrists in friend Jimmy Van Heusen's New York apartment in 1953, the same year the pair initially split. "The author reveals that Van Heusen's unexpected return saved the singer from bleeding to death,” Contactmusic quoted a publishing source as telling the National Enquirer.

The source added: "Sinatra's first attempt at suicide had occurred a year earlier after yet another debilitating fight with Ava. He inhaled gas from the kitchen stove in a different friend's apartment. The book also says Ava had two abortions while they were together without consulting Frank, saying that a sane lifestyle necessary for raising children just wasn't possible with him."

Sinatra and Gardner were finally divorced in 1957

There was a time - sometime around 1962, I think, after "The Manchurian Candidate" - when Frank Sinatra simply gave up on the movies.

He kept making them, of course, and a few - "None but the Brave," "Von Ryan's Express" - were pretty good. But a kind of laziness set in. It was as if he was too cool to care.

But that wasn't true of "Some Came Running," a movie he approached in 1958 with hard work and high hopes.

From the cast, it might almost seem like another Rat Pack flick. Long time pally Dean Martin is there, as a gambler named `Bama. And Rat Pack mascot Shirley MacLaine, too, as a kooky "party girl." With another script, another filmmaker, it could have been a silly, three's-a-crowd romp.

But the source of the story is a James Jones novel about a disillusioned writer. The director is the ever-stylish Vincente Minnelli. And tone of the movie is mature, measured and melancholic.

It was a mood that Sinatra - 43 when it was filmed, and already world-weary - seemed to identify with, and a challenge he definitely rose to meet. This isn't the one-take playboy of "Ocean's 11" but a committed actor, pushing himself toward real emotions and personal revelations.

Although his scenes with Martin are as smooth and easy as their friendship, it's the romantic sequences that are the best, and most naked. With Martha Hyer's teacher he's self-conscious and a little insecure (just as he'd been, at times, with Ava Gardner). With MacLaine's wacky barfly he's gently, sadly protective (just the way he continued to be, in real life, with every woman he'd ever loved).

Spice the character with a bit of a temper, a distaste for snobs and a desperate restlessness, and it's probably closer to the real Sinatra than anyone else he ever played.

The film is half-a-century old now, and recently was released on DVD. On Wednesday, though, the Walter Reade Theater at Lincoln Center will be showing it in a 35mm CinemaScope print. And, as an added bonus, Sinatra expert Adrian Wootton will start the evening off at 6:30 with a talk on the man and his movies, and clips from "On the Town," "From Here to Eternity," "The Man With the Golden Arm" and others.

Visit the Film Society of Lincoln Center's site for more details. And reacquaint yourself with an actor who often cared more deeply than he was ever willing to let on.
