The Rat Pack is a formed group of popular entertainers who performed during the mid years of the 1950s and 1960s. The group consisted of famous stars such as Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawform and Joey Bishop. The Rat Pack also had female participants such as movie icons: Shirley MacLaine, Lauren Bacall, and Judy Garland.The term "Rat Pack" was announced by Lauren Bacall when she witnessed a group of friends (including Frank Sinatra) returning from a night in Las Vegas, wearied and tired; she said words to the effect of "You look like a goddamn rat pack," referring to the tired and haggard appearance of the other members of the group.
Sinatra and friends had no idea their band would make entertainment history. The group was remarkable for its upbeat entertainment style and smooth musical and comedy routines, many of which were adlibbed.
As of 2006, Joey Bishop is the only male member of the Rat Pack who is still alive.
