RIP Mr. Bishop........it's a sad day when the last one of that famous group passes away.

(PS - I told my 17 yo daughter this news and she said, you mean the Brat Pack don't you? Sigh.....she is young, I had to straighten her out on that assumption).

I am sorry to hear that. I am feeling so old. Wasn't Jerry Lewis a member of the pack also, though? He is still alive!

[Miss Mary]

artist - you're probably thinking of Jerry Lewis' former closer friendship with Dean Martin (a rat pack member). According to wikipedia, the rat pack members were as follows:

Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford and Joey Bishop.

I feel old now too!

...and the Sands Casino in Atlantic City was imploded the same day, I think. The rat pack gathered there and Frank Sinatra sang there often.

RIP Joey Bishop.
