Frank Sinatra

avg. user rating: 4.6 (15 votes)


Ol' Blue Eyes, Frank Sinatra was born in New Jersey in 1915 and grew up in a tough neighbourhood. After becoming famous as a band singer, Sinatra made his film debut in 1941 in Las Vegas Nights. An untrained actor, he was always most successful in roles that mirrored his own character, appearing in musicals like Anchors Away and Out On The Town, before a vocal haemorrhage nearly ended his career. Sinatra fought back, getting a part in the 1952 film From Here To Eternity after offering to do the role for only $8,000. He won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his performance and went on to star in films like The Manchurian Candidate, Guys And Dolls and High Society.
