Frank Sinatra was first choice for the role of Jerry/Daphne in the film comedy classic Some Like It Hot (1959). At the time, it was a risky role for any actor, as so much of it was played in drag. After much thought, Sinatra turned it down; Jack Lemmon happily accepted it, and film history was made. Lemmon received a Best Actor Golden Globe Award and an Oscar nomination for his delightful performance.
