Published: Feb. 16, 2020, 8 a.m.

Sinatra was a big booster for Ronald Reagan as California governor, part of Sinatra\u2019s own shift from Democratic to Republican politics. This week in our Ocean\u2019s Eleven: 12 Degrees of Frank Sinatra season, Stacie has the 1940-1949 marriage and divorce of Academy Award winning actress Jane Wyman and future president Ronald Reagan. Then, Alicia has the incredible life and loves of icon and trailblazer Diahann Carroll, a friend and frequent performing partner of the Rat Pack.\nCan\u2019t get enough #trashcandy?
