Harry Connick Jr. Recalls 'Inappropriate' Encounter With Frank Sinatra & His Wife

Harry Connick Jr. is remembering a less than fond memory of Frank Sinatra.

During an interview with the U.K.’s This Morning, the 52-year-old singer revealed that he was attending an event with his wife Jill Goodacre, and the two shared an elevator with the legendary crooner.

“He looked at [her] and kind of placed her face in his hands and said, ‘You’re beautiful,’ and he kissed her right on the mouth, walked out of the elevator and that was the end of that,” he revealed.

“I never got to sing for him again, she loves to remind me of that story…I think it was probably unacceptable then, but it was a situation where it was an interesting thing — I think because of my affection for him, in the context, she thought it was hilarious. But obviously it’s completely inappropriate,” he went on to explain.

Harry Connick Jr.'s Wife Jill Goodacre Details Secret Five-Year Breast Cancer Battle

Jill Goodacre, a former Victoria’s Secret model and wife of Harry Connick, Jr., is detailing her five-year cancer battle.

In October of 2012, Jill, 53, went for a sonogram of her breasts after a routine mammogram. Doctors found a Stage 1 invasive ductal carcinoma and she underwent two lumpectomys and radiation.

“The lumpectomy didn’t come back with clean margins,” Jill said (via People). “So I had to go in for a second surgery the very next day. And then radiation absolutely wiped me out. And since then there’s been the Tamoxifen, which I’ve now been taking for five years.”

Tamoxifen is a pill that helps prevent the growth of hormone receptor-positive breast cancers.

“I’ve always been a pretty fit person, and so to be just rounder and heavier and not to really be able to do much about it – that’s been hard. It’s taken a lot out of my self-confidence,” Jill said of the side effects of the pill.

“It wasn’t like we were superstitious, like if we said something about being in the clear we’d somehow jinx it,” Jill continued about keeping her battle a secret from most people. “But we wanted to be well on the other side of things before we told everybody. The doctors all say that after the five-year mark, things look optimistic, so we’re starting to feel pretty good.”

“All I wanted to do was grow old with you and have as many years as possible as I could with you,” Harry added.

The couple will detail her battle on Thursday’s episode of Harry.
