Sinatra's Mental Health
Sinatra played a calm and cool demeanor in public. He was a playboy who seemed to have it all. As we all know by now, looks can be decieving and Sinatra suffered from immense manic depression.
His mental health condition (part of which kept him from the draft) caused him to attempt suicide four times. Gardner had said that he thought no one would care if he was gone. "I care," she said. "He knows that it would blow me apart and that I will always protect him."
