Francis
Albert "Frank" Sinatra (December 12,
1915 – May 14, 1998) was an American singer
and actor.
Beginning
his musical career in the swing era with Harry
James and Tommy Dorsey, Sinatra became a solo
artist with great success in the early to mid-1940s,
being the idol of the "bobby soxers".
His professional career had stalled by the 1950s,
but it was reborn in 1953 after he won the Academy
Award for Best Supporting Actor.
He
signed with Capitol Records and released several
critically lauded albums (such as In the Wee Small
Hours, Songs for Swingin' Lovers, Come Fly with
Me, Only the Lonely and Nice 'n' Easy). Sinatra
left Capitol to found his own record label, Reprise
Records (finding success with albums such as Ring-A-Ding-Ding,
Sinatra at the Sands and Francis Albert Sinatra
& Antonio Carlos Jobim), toured internationally,
and fraternized with the Rat Pack and President
John F. Kennedy in the early 1960s. Sinatra turned
50 in 1965, recorded the retrospective September
of My Years, starred in the Emmy-winning television
special Frank Sinatra: A Man and His Music, and
scored hits with "Strangers in the Night"
and "My Way".
Sinatra
attempted to weather the changing tastes in popular
music, but with dwindling album sales and after
appearing in several poorly received films, he
retired in 1971. Coming out of retirement in 1973,
he recorded several albums, scoring a hit with
"(Theme From) New York, New York" in
1980, and toured both within the United States
and internationally until a few years before his
death in 1998.
Sinatra
also forged a career as a dramatic actor, winning
the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for
his performance in From Here to Eternity, and
he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best
Actor for The Man with the Golden Arm. He also
starred in such musicals as High Society, Pal
Joey, Guys and Dolls and On the Town. Sinatra
was honored with the Kennedy Center Honors in
1983 and awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom
by Ronald Reagan in 1985 and the Congressional
Gold Medal in 1997. Sinatra was also the recipient
of eleven Grammy Awards, including the Grammy
Trustees Award, Grammy Legend Award and the Grammy
Lifetime Achievement Award.
Controversy
Alleged
organized crime links
Sinatra
garnered considerable attention due to his alleged
personal and professional links with organized
crime, including figures such as Sam Giancana,
Lucky Luciano, and Joseph Fischetti. The Federal
Bureau of Investigation kept records amounting
to 2,403 pages on Sinatra. With his Mafia ties,
his ardent New Deal politics and his friendship
with John F. Kennedy, he was a natural target
for J. Edgar Hoover's FBI. The FBI kept Sinatra
under surveillance for almost five decades beginning
in the 1940s with, for example, an erroneous report
that the star paid $40,000 for his 4-F draft status,
through the early 1980s when he was successful
in efforts to get his Nevada Gaming license renewed.
The documents include accounts of Sinatra as the
target of death threats and extortion schemes.
They also portray rampant paranoia and strange
obsessions at the FBI and reveal nearly every
celebrated Sinatra foible and peccadillo.
For
a year Hoover investigated Sinatra's alleged Communist
affiliations, but came up empty-handed. Readers
learn that the budding star, to get an exemption
from military service, told draft-board doctors
that he had an irrational fear of crowds.
The
files include his rendezvous with prostitutes,
and his extramarital affair with Ava Gardner,
which preceded their marriage. Celebrities mentioned
in the files are Dean Martin, Marilyn Monroe,
Peter Lawford, and Giancana's girlfriend, singer
Phyllis McGuire.
The
FBI's secret dossier on Sinatra was released in
1998 in response to Freedom of Information Act
requests. (Credit:
