Francis Albert Sinatra, known by most as Frank Sinatra, was born in Hoboken, New Jersey on December 12, 1915. His bright blue eyes earned him the popular nickname "Ol' Blue Eyes". He was the only child of Italian immigrants Natalina "Dolly" Garaventa and Antonino Martino "Marty" Sinatra. Many biographers believe that his mother was the dominant factor in the development of his personality traits and self-confidence due to how driven she was for him to succeed.

Sinatra got his first break in 1935 when his mother persuaded a local singing group, the 3 Flashes, to let him join. After joining, the group changed its name to the Hoboken Four. In 1943, Frank Sinatra would embark on his solo career, during which he won 26 Grammy Awards. He would go on to eventually sell over 150 million albums worldwide. Frank's success in the music industry would pave the way for him to enter the film industry in Hollywood. He eventually won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for the movie "From Here to Eternity" in 1954. As an actor, Sinatra went on to act in at least 44 movies.

Frank Sinatra passed away on May 14, 1998, at the age of 82.
