Biography

Frank Sinatra was an American singer, conductor, and actor who started in the swing era and became a leading entertainer of the 20th century. Born in Hoboken, New Jersey, he sang with Harry James in 1939 before joining Columbia Records, where teenage bobby soxers adored him. His film career revived with From Here to Eternity (1953), which brought him an Academy Award as best supporting actor. He went on to appear in The Manchurian Candidate (1962) and The Man with the Golden Arm (1955). Musicals such as On the Town (1949), Guys and Dolls (1955), and Pal Joey (1957) were also part of his work, the last earning him a Golden Globe. Later he often played detectives, in Tony Rome (1967) and The Detective (1968), directed None but the Brave (1965), and collected 13 Grammy Awards.
