The fifties Rat Pack

The name \"Rat Pack\" was first used to refer to a group of friends in Hollywood informally organized around Humphrey Bogart and including the young Frank Sinatra. Several explanations have been offered for the famous name over the years. According to one version, the group's original \"Den Mother,\" Lauren Bacall, after seeing her husband and his friends return from a night in Las Vegas, said words to the effect of \"You look like a goddamn rat pack.\" \"Rat Pack\" may also be a shortened version of \"Holmby Hills Rat Pack,\" a reference to the home of Judy Garland and husband Sid Luft, which served as a regular hangout. The name may also refer to the belief that an established pack of rats will belligerently reject an outsider who tries to join them. Garland's daughter Lorna Luft tells the story that a certain gossip columnist (probably Hedda Hopper or Louella Parsons) wanted to be invited to the group's parties. The group didn't want their private parties becoming the subject of the writer's next column, and so the columnist was never invited. Later, she was said to have written about \"that rat pack in Holmby Hills\" which Garland found incredibly funny. Garland later had stick pins made for the group in the shape of rats with rubies for eyes. Thus, the \"Rat Pack\" was born.
