Sometimes a friendship is worth more

As it turns out, Frank Sinatra was the one to warn Reynolds about Eddie Fisher. After starring alongside Reynolds in The Tender Trap, Sinatra urged her not to get married to the actor-singer because he felt like singers weren’t faithful (and as one of the greatest singers of all time, Sinatra would know.) Still, Reynolds didn’t heed the advice, and Sinatra’s prophecy came true. Fisher found himself embroiled in an affair with Reynold’s best friend Elizabeth Taylor.
Reynolds and Elizabeth Taylor were at odds for years over the affair. There’s nothing like boy problems to tear best friends apart, but they eventually buried the hatchet. Why? Fisher wasn’t worth it.
“You have to look at what life is all about, and is it worth it? And, is he worth it?” Reynolds said. “The friendship was perhaps worth more.”
