Ol’ Blue Eyes Takes on Sinatra Impersonator: A man who imitates singer Frank Sinatra said his show, which just opened in Hollywood, will go on despite threats of a lawsuit from the entertainer’s lawyer. Nick Edenetti said he received a letter from attorney Robert Finkelstein on Dec. 5 saying the show at the Las Palmas Theater in Hollywood is a violation of the crooner’s “trademark” and threatening legal action if he did not “cease and desist.” As far as he knows, however, no lawsuit has been filed. Edenetti said he has performed his show for more than a year in other cities, and “no one has ever (tried to) stopped us before.” Furthermore, said Edenetti: “In all his (Sinatra’s) advertising, I’ve never seen a trademark next to his name.”
