Aileen Mehle (1918–2016), known by the pen name Suzy or Suzy Knickerbocker, was an American society columnist, active in journalism for over fifty years. Her column was syndicated to 100 newspapers and read by over 30 million people. She managed to achieve great success without causing undue hurt: Sinatra said of her that "Aileen wields that power with a feather duster."

One of Frank Sinatra's most successful films, Von Ryan's Express is a World War II adventure film released in 1965. Sinatra starred as Col. Joseph Ryan, a pilot shot down over Italy who leads an escape from a POW camp. (15288)
