Frankie Valli on Jersey Boys, Sinatra, and More
June 18th, 2006Superstar Frankie Valli talks to Newsweek’s Nicki Gostin about Jersey Boys winning the Best Musical prize at the Tonys, his buddy Frank Sinatra, and…pasta. Here’s an except of the short interview:
Gostin: Was it weird seeing your life story onstage?
Valli: I’m on a cloud. We had been offered a couple of movies-of-the-week, but I always hoped that maybe we could get a musical. I’ve seen movies come and go. I’ve never heard of getting rich from a movie.
Gostin: Tell me a Frank Sinatra story—and not about what a nice guy he was. I want an a—hole story.
Valli: I don’t have any a—hole stories. I was friendly with Frank for 10 years. Anybody he gave crap to deserved it.
