Sinatra's Widow Banned From Stamp Ceremony

Sinatra's Widow Banned From Stamp Ceremony Frank Sinatra's widow Barbara was banned from a ceremony in his honour on Tuesday (13May08), reportedly because of a long-running row with the late star's children.

A new postage stamp bearing the star's face will be unveiled at three ceremonies; in Las Vegas, New York and his native Hoboken, New Jersey, attended by his son Frank Jr. and daughters Tina and Nancy.

But their stepmother, former Las Vegas showgirl Barbara Marx Sinatra, has been refused an invitation to any of the events. Family friend Bob Milang blames tension between Barbara and the children for the missing invitation, and adds that political figure Jose Serrano - who lobbied for the stamp - played a role in uninviting her.

Milang tells the New York Post, "I'm upset with (Jose) Serrano because (Barbara) is a woman who was married to Sinatra for 22 years, and here she is being snubbed. I know Serrano is close to Nancy, Tina and Frank Jr. He plays dumb and he doesn't have the courtesy to return a phone call."

But Serrano tells the newspaper, "The invites went out from the Postal Service. I'm not doing the inviting. I'm lucky to be invited myself." (JMA/PYN/IG)
