Frank Sinatra & Lawrence Harvey 1962
Actor and singer Frank Sinatra with actor Sir Lawrence Harvey during the filming of the move The Manchurian Candidate.
Everyone knows the wonderful entertainer Frank Sinatra but as well known as Lawrence Harvey was, I didn't know that he was born in Lithuania (legal birth name Zvi Mosheh (Hirsh) Skikne) and grew up in South Africa. I always knew him as a British actor, as he grew in fame in Great Britain.

Because The Manchurian Candidate was a film about the assassination of a U.S. President, it wasn't released as expected (President Kennedy shot assassinated in Nov 1963). It's a wonderful movie that is till interesting today.
