Clint East Wood and Heidi Frazetta
It was in 1974 that Ian Ballantine approached Frank about producing a book on Frank's art. The book was a blockbuster and went into six printings. There were four volumes available, with over a total of a million copies sold. Also, three calendars were produced and the Poster Business has grown in number to over 100 illustrations.

Hollywood celebrities are not strangers to the "Frazetta Magic." Clint East wood (who, by the way, some people say resembles Frank), visited Frank and commissioned him to do the poster art for his movie, "The Gauntlet "

Sylvester Stallone (Rocky), comes to spend the day as well as George Lucas (Star Wars). Lucas is a big Frazetta fan and collector, owning two Frazetta originals in his collection. John and Bo Derek commissioned Frank to do their corporate logo, "Svengali."

Among the Hollywood names that have visited or contact Frank are the likes of Francis Ford Copolla, Marlon Brando, Sandra Loche, Dino De Laurentiis, Tom Laughlin, Patrick Duffy, Charleton Heston, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Orson Welles, Cher, Dick Clark, to name a few. In lieu of the many offers from Hollywood producers to become involved in film making , Frank has finally consented to make the big move.
