Joey Bishop, the stone-faced comedian who found success in nightclubs, television and movies but became most famous as a member of Frank Sinatra's Rat Pack, has died at 89.

He was the group's last surviving member. Peter Lawford died in 1984, Sammy Davis Jr. in 1990, Dean Martin in 1995, and Sinatra in 1998.

Bishop died Wednesday night of multiple causes at his home in Newport Beach, publicist and longtime friend Warren Cowen said.

That "Rat Pack" group was so funny. I guess we could say...the gang is back together again. :blowkiss:

May God bless his soul.
The Rat Pack were an extremely talented and funny group. Being reunited is a sweet way to look at it.

Was he the one that was on The View just the other day? I don't ususally watch, but I caught a few minutes of it just this past week and he or someone was singing a song just for the women of The View.
