Shirley MacLaine is all I can come up with who hung with rat pack. I don't think she was a coke user but I saw her on an interview a couple months ago looking rough so I don't know
Shirley Maclaine, Angie Dickinson and Lauren Bacall were at some point members of the Rat Pack, but they have never been known as cocaine fiends, and they would be too old.
Heatherton was a frequent guest in the Dean Martin variety show, and she even hosted a summer replacement show with Frank Sinatra, Jr. in 1968. Her issues with drugs are well documented, and she was the inspiration for Catherine O'Hara's Lola Heatherton on SCTV.
When I think of "Sixties It Girl and Rat Pack favorite" the first person I think of is Ann Margaret. I'm pretty sure she's quite religious so I don't think it's her, but then again you never know. Anyway, she's the first person I thought of.
The best time to get on/back on the drugs is when your 70+. If I'm lucky enough to live that long, I'm going to start doing everything unhealthy just because.
Tuesday Weld would be a guess too, she fits the time frame, and used to be a real party person, then I seem to remember developed a (drug & alcohol) problem that seemed to work itself out. Winner of the most horrible stage mother of her time award.
Although Goldie Hawn was a 60s It girl, she had nothing to do with the Rat Pack, in fact she was on the other side of the generation gap from those old geezers. She would have been smoking dope with the hippies, not boozing it up in Vegas with Dino and Ol Blue Eyes. Also MacLaine was never a druggie, not even close. I'm on the Joey Heatherton train.
"stuff I know!!!"

ReplyDeleteLol@Ray
ReplyDeleteI think it's Angie Dickenson and how old are these girls at the youngest 70 ish…Angie must be close to 80.
ReplyDeleteI'm going with Angie Dickinson too...
ReplyDeleteI googled Angie and Carmen. Angie looks thinner.
ReplyDeleteI think Shirley is all into the soul-searching shite these days. What are Dickinson and Bacall up to?
ReplyDeleteShirley Maclaine was their honorary female member.
ReplyDeleteMight be Lola Falana. Dean and Frank and Joey and Peter and Sammy and I guess a few other guys treated Lola like a concubine back in those days.
ReplyDeleteGoldie Hawn
ReplyDeleteHeatherton.

In addition Lola Falana suffers from multiple sclerosis and retired in 1997.
ReplyDeleteShirley McClain was never a heavy drinker or drug user. She doesn't fit.

ReplyDelete+1 angela. I still recall ms. Heatherton in a nightie rolloing around on a bed in a commercial with great, growing fondness.
ReplyDeleteCoke granny sounds like a Dallas plot line!

ReplyDeleteElaine Stritch would agree with you Poperah

ReplyDeleteLike Lux, also thought Goldie.
ReplyDeleteFirst name that popped into my head as "'60s It Girl and Rat Pack favorite" was Joey.
ReplyDeleteI think Joey...she mostly fits this.
ReplyDeleteI honestly thought Joey was dead.
ReplyDeleteWowza. A 70+ It Girl.
ReplyDeleteAngie Dickinson and Shirley MacLaine were the female members of the Rat Pack in the 1960s.
ReplyDeleteAngie Dickinson????????
ReplyDeleteNo freaking waaaaaaaaaaay!
I vote Shirley McClain.
ReplyDeleteShirley Maclaine
ReplyDeleteIf whoever this is wants to do drugs, let them. They have to be in their 80s. Let them have their fun.

ReplyDeleteI'm with Lux... 60's IT Girl makes me think of Goldie Hawn.
