1947 - Frank Sinatra
SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER HIM
Frank Sinatra appeared in Beverly Hills Municipal Court in 1947 after being arrested for slugging New York columnist Lee Mortimer, who alleged the singer may have had ties to a known mobster. Sinatra said the writer called him an ethnic epithet for Italian Americans. The incident took place at Ciro's nightclub in Hollywood.
