Frank Sinatra ♥︎

Personality:   -Frank was born in Hoboken, New Jersey - which is just a river away from New York City. He was born to two Italian immigrants - Marty and Dolly. They did everything they could to hustle up money and provide for their only son, Francis. His father was a bar owner (where Frank found his passion for singing and sang to the customers for tips), firefighter, and boxer. His mother helped other immigrants look for work, was a midwife, and helped women abort their pregnancies. Their tough lines of work shaped their tough personalities and their son’s. Since they were always working, they rarely paid attention to Frank. However, he witnessed their work ethic and learned from it. He didn’t care much for school, so he skipped it and held a job as a newspaper boy and a shipyard riveter for a long portion of his life until he became a singing waiter. -He was a hard-headed trouble maker all around. He often got into fights because he was caught talking to married women. However, he settled down at twenty-four with a women named Nancy. His relationship with her was a rollercoaster and he stayed with her for his children - Nancy, Francis, and Christina. He was unfaithful to her. The rise of fame at this time fed into his ego and ruined their relationship. It gets messier after this point with all the Hollywood stars and fame, so this is just the basis. Frank is truly a complex individual as he shows symptoms of bipolar disorder. -This timeline is the start of his career, which is around the late 1940’s.
