Contemporary records preserved by the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library establish that Sinatra was one of the announced headliners for Reagan's January 4, 1971 inaugural entertainment gala at Sacramento Memorial Auditorium. The December 8, 1970 announcement named Frank Sinatra alongside John Wayne, Dean Martin, James Stewart, Jack Benny, and Buddy Ebsen, and further stated that the gala would be produced by \u003cstrong data-start=\"1652\" data-end=\"1675\"\u003eSinatra Enterprises\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cspan class=\"contents\" data-content-reference-start=\"1677\" data-content-reference-end=\"1697\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"1716\" data-end=\"1988\"\u003eThe program presents attractively, with the inscription and signature remaining readily legible.

Reagan had first taken office in 1967 and, following his reelection in 1970, delivered his second gubernatorial inaugural address in Sacramento on January 4, 1971. The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library identifies the surviving recording of the inaugural address and ceremony as having taken place in Sacramento on that date. \u003cspan class=\"contents\" data-content-reference-start=\"2420\" data-content-reference-end=\"2452\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"2476\" data-end=\"3019\"\u003eThe inaugural festivities also brought Reagan's political career together with his longstanding connections to the entertainment industry. A contemporary release from Reagan's inaugural organization announced a star-filled entertainment gala for 8:30 p.m. at Sacramento Memorial Auditorium, headlined by Sinatra, John Wayne, Dean Martin, James Stewart, Jack Benny, and Buddy Ebsen. John Wayne and James Stewart were announced as co-emcees, while Sinatra Enterprises was responsible for producing the gala. \u003cspan class=\"contents\" data-content-reference-start=\"2960\" data-content-reference-end=\"2980\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"3021\" data-end=\"3487\"\u003eThat connection gives this signed program unusual historical depth. Sinatra was already one of the defining American entertainers of the twentieth century, while Reagan was still a decade away from becoming President of the United States. The artifact therefore captures a moment when two towering figures of American popular and political culture intersected at a significant milestone in Reagan's rise from Hollywood actor to nationally prominent political leader.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"3489\" data-end=\"3638\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3489\" data-end=\"3524\"\u003eAuthentication \u0026amp; Encapsulation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"3524\" data-end=\"3527\"\u003eThe Frank Sinatra autograph has received authentication from \u003cstrong data-start=\"3588\" data-end=\"3637\"\u003etwo major independent authentication services\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"3640\" data-end=\"3935\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3640\" data-end=\"3671\"\u003ePSA Authentication Services\u003c\/strong\u003e issued a Letter of Authenticity dated April 6, 2026, identifying the signer as Frank Sinatra and the item as a program.
