The name "Rat Pack" was first used to refer to a group of friends in Hollywood first informally organized around Humphrey Bogart, a group that included the young Frank Sinatra. The term "Rat Pack" was supposedly assigned to the original Bogart group by "Den Mother" Lauren Bacall, after seeing them return from a night in Las Vegas. (The term rat is presumably meant in the sense of a dubious person or scoundrel.) According to another explanation, the term, "Rat Pack" was not Bacall's idea at all. It had started with Humphrey Bogart, Bacall's husband and frequent film co-star and a pal of Sinatra's, who named a group of his drinking buddies the Holmby Hills Rat Pack, after the location of one of Judy Garland and her husband Sid Luft's houses (a frequent hangout). According to Stephen Bogart members of the Holmby Hills Rat Pack were Sinatra (pack master), Garland (first vice-president), Bacall (den mother), Luft (cage master), Bogart (rat in charge of public relations), Swifty Lazar (recording secretary and treasurer), Nathaniel Benchley (historian), David Niven, Katharine Hepburn, Spencer Tracy, George Cukor, Michael Romanoff and James Van Heusen. According to this explanation, confirmed in David Niven's autobiography The Moon's a Balloon, the Rat Pack originally contained David Niven and did not contain either Davis or Martin, and moreover did involve real (white) rats. <img src="http://www.nandotimes.com/nt/images/sinatra/18.jpeg"> Seen from left to right, Humphrey Bogart; producer Sid Luft; Lauren Bacall; Judy Garland; Ellie Graham; agent Jack Entratter; restaurateur Mike Romanoff (partly hidden); Sinatra; Mrs. Romanoff; actor David Niven; and Mrs. Niven. |
