Nancy Sinatra Sr. RIP

[Moonman62]

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

[CharleysPride]

RIP. She must have seen a lot in those hundred years.

I read he saw her sitting on steps one day I guess in front of her house and ran across the street and started talking to her and of course because he's Frank Sinatra he picked her up. Pretty sleazy though that he would leave her when he hit the big time, but hey, he's Frank Sinatra, capiche?

"Black-and-white photo of Frank Sinatra and Nancy Barbato Sinatra on Newark Ave., Jersey City, N.J., no date, circa 1935-1939. 8" x 10" silver gelatin print. Photographer not identified. Ink annotations by donor Nick Di Brino in 2007 at front bottom margin and on reverse. Source of original image not indicated. Whether they are married at the time of this photo is not known. Nancy Barbato married Sinatra in 1939 and they moved to Jersey City. Donor dated this as circa 1937-1939 which would correspond to that period: they dated 1934-1939. Donor noted the location was near 17 Newark Ave.; most all buildings on this block have been demolished a number of years ago. "

Oh, the books this Nancy Sinatra could have written! She was there during the early years. In the eye of that Italian Storm. I’m guessing Frank Sinatra had the appeal of Elvis and Bieber combined, with Elvis being the more talented, of the two! If everyone around you treats you as something larger than life, after a while you start to believe it too.

I still think Frank Senior found ways to sabotage or stunt the career of Frank Jr. It’s strange that Jr. never did go much farther than “Don Ho” Howard Johnson’s level status.
Jr. seemed like a deflated individual, at least that was the impression.

Bottom line: Frank could sing, but at his core he was a selfish lowlife.

Senior?

Was she Trans?

Women aren’t monickered “Sr” or “Jr”.

I swear NY/NJ Italian women have the longest life-spans on earth. I have known at least 6 Italian grandmothers who have made it past 100 years. Has any research been done on this? It must have something to do with Rosaries and chianti in small glasses

Cause of death...old age. Tired enough to go home

"Nancy, with the laughing eyes. . . ," rings a bell in my mind. Anybody else?

[shanover]

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

[The Fop]

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

[MIchaelTArchangel]

And the Mafia dons breathe a sigh of relief.
