ALISON BOSHOFF: Kevin Spacey's dream of playing Sinatra is squashed after Frank's girl puts her foot down


Frank Sinatra's daughter Tina has nixed a biopic of her father - which was to have starred Kevin Spacey as the crooner.

The script focuses on Sinatra at the end of his career — post Mia Farrow — when he made several comebacks, while struggling with ill health and controversies. Spacey was touched by Schrader’s support, which follows positive statements about him made by Liam Neeson, Stephen Fry and Sharon Stone. Speaking at a dinner hosted in his honour by fashion house Lanvin and film magazine A Rabbit’s Foot, Schrader said Spacey contacted him twice by email to express his gratitude.
