PHOTOS OF THE DAY: BING AND ROSEMARY CLOONEY

When Clooney was getting back into show business after her break down in the late 1960s, it was Bing that helped her get back into the game. Clooney also performed with Bing during his last concerts before he died in 1977. They both had a great mutual respect for each other as these pictures show:
