It was February 1947 and Frank Sinatra was certainly doing it 'his way' during a four-day trip to Havana. Booking a suite at the Hotel Nacional in a pre-Castro city that was a '24-hour fiesta of unapologetic pleasures', he hosted an orgy involving 12 naked women, various American gangster bosses and copious quantities of .Having reportedly smuggled in $2million in an attache case for his exiled Mobster friend Charles 'Lucky' Luciano, who'd relocated to after being forced out of the US by the authorities, he had much to celebrate. Bizarrely, a delegation of Cuban Girl Scouts, led by a nun, arrived in the middle of the bacchanal to present the crooner with a token of their esteem. He reportedly hustled the orgy participants into the two bedrooms and received the Scouts wearing a silk dressing gown and scarf.Sinatra later insisted he'd had no knowledge that his visit to the Cuban capital coincided with a top level US Mafia convention there.
