What's After the Movie

Frank Sinatra

Frank Sinatra, born Francis Albert Sinatra, was an American singer, actor, and producer who was one of the most popular and influential musical artists of the 20th century. Sinatra, born on December 12, 1915, was the only child of Italian immigrants in Hoboken, New Jersey. His musical career began in the swing era with various big bands and peaked in the mid-20th century when he became a successful solo artist with Columbia Records, being the idol of the so-called 'Bobby Soxers.' Sinatra's albums sold millions, making him one of the world's best-selling music artists.

Sinatra was also a skilled actor, winning the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in 'From Here to Eternity.' He acted in a variety of genres, from musicals to crime films, earning critical acclaim for many of his roles. Known for his smooth, sonorous voice, Sinatra's ability to interpret song lyrics helped him to excel in both music and movies. He was also politically active, transitioning from being a staunch supporter of the Democratic Party to endorsing the Republican Party later in his career. Sinatra continued to be a formidable force in the industry late into his career, remaining a top concert draw, and he was also an ally for civil rights. Sinatra's contributions to music and film are widely recognized today, and his iconic status endures, ensuring his place as a cultural legend.
