The summer of 1969 bothered everyone in Hollywood - including Frank Sinatra.
The late singer’s hairdresser Joseph Paris recalls the star planning by Charles Manson and his followers, plotting the murders of pregnant actress Sharon Tate and six others.
Paris recently wrote a memoir, Acquaintances on the Board, detailing his friendship with "Ol'Blue Eyes", who died on May 14, 1998 at the age of 82.

How did Paris react to Fox News Digital's killing news on Sinatra.
"He had an iron gate (installed)," he recalled. "The hairdresser (Jay Sebrin) was killed, and he had cut everyone's hair in Las Vegas. Sharon Tate was killed.

"He was worried about his own well-being," Paris said. "He had some safe riding shotguns. When he traveled for his protection, he always had 0.38 because people would jump on the stage... they couldn't control themselves. They were fans like that, especially when they had two or three drinks. In Las Vegas, everyone drank."

Sinatra has good reason to worry about hippie cult leader Manson becoming the evil hypnotic face of the whole of America. According to Paris, Sinatra, as well as Elizabeth Taylor and Steve McQueen, “Somehow makes Charles Manson’s hot list.”
Paris wrote: "Frank began traveling with a beautiful silver, .38 caliber, pistol with nose."

Manson is a small criminal who has been in jail since childhood. In the 1960s, he portrayed himself as a charismatic master who embraced the runaway and the lost soul. He went on to order his faithful disciples to the butcher some of the wealthy and famous figures in Los Angeles, and the prosecutor said it was about triggering a battle war interest - an idea he got from the Beatles' song "Helter Skelter."

Before the murder, it was the so-called family that established a commune-like base in Spahn Ranch, a former film location in Los Angeles. There, Manson uses drugs, supervises orgasms, and makes them receive strange lectures.
He had musical ambitions and became a rock star, including beach boy Dennis Wilson. He also met music producer Terry Melcher, the son of actress Doris Day, who lives in the same house, and director Roman Polanski, the director of "Rosemary's Baby" and his wife Tate later rented it.

But by the summer of 1969, Manson did not sell his songs. He claimed Wilson “don’t exist anymore” with one of his songs, modified it to “Never learn not to love” and recorded it with the Beach Boy without giving him honor.

On August 9, 1969, Manson's followers massacred five victims at the homes of Polanski and Tate: the actress, who was nearly nine months pregnant; coffee heiress Abigail Folger; celebrity hairdresser Jay Sebring; Polish film director Voityck Frykowski; Steven Parent, friend of the manor's caretaker. Polansky was out at that time.
The next night, a wealthy grocer and his wife Leno and Rosemary Labianca were stabbed to death in their home.

At the crime scene, the killers recruit phrases such as “pig” and misspelled “healer” in their blood. Manson was arrested three months later.

Paris told Fox News Numbers that at the time, a local newspaper had already released a list of celebrity Manson, hoping his followers would aim. Sinatra is among them.
"That's no secret," Paris said. "(and) they found (Tate) dead, with blood written on the walls, and it must be a crazy person. Just a terrible person."

"Everyone on every list has something to worry about because there's a lunatic plan out there that you're going to die with five other psychologists," he said. "There are some patients in this world. (But) some people say they're going to kill you, and they announced that, what should you do? Hiding? Put on a bulletproof vest? That's enough to drive you crazy."

According to a report from the University of Missouri-Kansas City Law School, Manson follower Susan Atkins claims she and other family members have listed a list of celebrities who they “planned to kill in the future.” They include Richard Burton and Tom Jones, as well as Taylor, McQueen and Sinatra.
"Through Graham's prison friend Ronnie Howard, the amazing story of Atkins quickly reached LAPD," the report reads.

Manson and Atkins, along with Patricia Krenwinkle and Leslie Van Holden were found guilty and sentenced to death. Another defendant, Charles "Tex" Watson, was later convicted. After the California Supreme Court removed the death penalty in 1972, everyone was exempted from the death penalty and sentenced to life imprisonment.

Another Manson devotee, Lynette, "screamed" Fromme, attempted to assassinate President Gerald Ford in 1975, but her gun was haunted. She served 34 years in prison.
Over the past few decades, Manson and his followers have occasionally appeared at parole hearings, and their free bids have been repeatedly rejected. The woman claimed she had recovered. Manson said the prison has become his home.

For years, there has been speculation that Sinatra has been linked to another family, the Mafia. According to History, he has even been tracked by the FBI for more than 40 years. According to the media, while Sinatra has always denied that he has connections with the mob, he does interact with famous gangs, including Chicago mob boss Sam Giancana, who is close friends with him.
Paris laughed at the claim.

"Who is the nightclub owned by the bishop and the pastor?" he told Fox News Numbers. “If you have to work for someone in a nightclub, you should say, ‘You’re not my friend, goodbye?’ or “You provide a living for me and my kids? "I don't believe in the bishop and cardinal who had nightclubs a few years ago."

Paris stressed: "For the wise, so much because he is not a member of the mafia." "He does not support the mafia. He is an Italian with a golden heart."
Today, Paris hopes readers can see a new side of the person he knows through his book.

"He treated me like a royal family," Paris said. "I'm a kid from Brooklyn who didn't graduate from school, he was a butcher and thought it would be my life...but for Sinatra, life is always an adventure."
