Michael Douglas reveals a mob-connected lawyer casually called his contacts from his dad's dinner party to solve Frank Sinatra Jr.'s kidnapping

"That was weird. Remember Sidney Korshak, who was a lawyer from Chicago? He played a very important role in the triangulation between the Teamsters, the mob, Washington, and California"

"The night Frank Sinatra Jr. got kidnapped, I was at Dad's house. One of the beauties of being second generation was him having a dinner party with Tony Curtis, Frank Sinatra, Janet Leigh, and Don Rickles"

"They were waiting for Sidney, who was a friend of the family, and they were all talking about it. Then Sidney came in. 'Sidney, what do you know?' He goes, 'Yeah, I just heard about it. Kirk, can I make a phone call for a second?'"

"'Hello, yeah, it's Sidney. So what's with Frank's kid? He had all the information. It's amazing. And he was released unharmed"'
