NANCY SINATRA SR.

Nancy Sinatra Sr. was the childhood sweetheart and wife of the maestro, Frank Sinatra. Three years after their wedding, she was so excited to host a 15-minute radio show on a local station called WAAT. She was also employed as a secretary while her husband worked as a songwriter. When Frank Sinatra became a pop-music sensation, she remained simple in their home. Nancy lived a quiet life, especially after her separation from Frank Sinatra.

She appeared only twice on TV: one time on her daughter’s concert film, Nancy and Lee in Las Vegas (1975) and the other time, on her friend’s talk show in 1974. Nancy must have lived off on her husband’s fortune even after their separation since she got a percentage of her husband’s income, a house free of mortgage, custody of their children, and a Cadillac as part of the settlement. She lived incredibly long- outliving her husband and one of her sons- and died at 101.
