“most all buildings on this block have been demolished a number of years ago. “

Probably during the sudden “urban renewal” following the King assassination.

“It must have something to do with Rosaries and chianti in small glasses”

And the best food in the world! Smell the salsa e polpette cooking at 10 in the morning.

She has been known as that for a very long time, gong back 70 plus years.

I see nothing wrong with it.

Ironic that the daughter was spouting garbage about abortion a few weeks ago.

She outlived the entire Rat Pack, plus Ava Gardner, and plenty of Kennedy children and grandchildren too! That’s one tough Jersey Girl.

Another angle for the northeastern Italo grandmas could be their close social interactions with their families is stimulating for living on with purpose. They are less likely to be placed in senior care assisted living facilities. My grandma dreaded that but it never happened- she died at 89 from heart failure with dementia thrown in. Enjoy heaven grama.

First time I’ve ever seen a woman referred to as Sr.

Same here. It's also the first instance I've ever seen of a woman naming her daughter after herself.

Interesting.

I still think Frank Senior found ways to sabotage or stunt the career of Frank Jr.

Frank Jr stunted his own career by trying to be a carbon copy of his dad.

"Nice pipes kid, but you're no Frank Sinatra."

From what I've read she travelled to Vietnam to perform for troops. Did she go wrong after?

You’re probably right. Times change. Peak Male Crooner time started with men like Arthur Godfrey, Big Crosby and Pat Boone. It was finished it off in the late 50’s by Nat King Cole and Johnny Mathis among others. Even real talents like Dean Martin branched out into comedy roles, although he was very good.

Big Nancy & Little Nancy is how some families do it.
But most women don’t ever want to be called ‘Big’ anything.

How about her real name? Sr. is not part of her name.

“Nancy Sandra Sinatra (born June 8, 1940) is an American singer and actress. She is the elder daughter of Frank Sinatra and Nancy (Barbato) Sinatra.

Exactly right. The crooner style was already in its sunset years when Frank Sinatra Jr was trying to build his career.

He was pitching to a demographic that was already well into their 30s and 40s, and who were more involved with raising families and chasing the American Dream, than sitting by the victrola, spinning 78 rpm records.

Look at all those handsome, smiling men! Whatever her politics, she trooped for those soldiers when they needed it.

“Nancy Sinatra did not mince words when she was asked if her father, the legendary Frank Sinatra, would have agreed to perform at Donald Trump’s inauguration ceremony.

“He would never support a bigot,” Nancy wrote on her official Twitter feed. The comment drew a flurry of reactions, both in support and against her statement.”
