Sinatra (1915-1998), born December 12, 1915, Hoboken, New Jersey; died May 14, 1998, Los Angeles, California; American singer and leading screen actor; the "teensation" of the early 1940's; film career from 1941; growing up poor on the streets of Hoboken, New Jersey, made him all the more determined to work hard and make something of his life. Starting out as a saloon singer in musty, little dives, he eventually got work as a band singer, first with Harry James, then Tommy Dorsey. In 1942, he started his solo career, instantly finding fame as the king of the “bobbysoxers” the young women and girls who were his fans. About that time his film career was also starting in earnest. Never formally trained, he was an instinctive actor who was best at playing parts that mirrored his own personality. After a vocal cord hemorrhage all but ended his career, he fought back and won the coveted role of Maggio in “From Here To Eternity” 1953. He won an Oscar for the part and his career was assured from then on. He was to continue to give strong and memorable performances in such films as “The Man with the Golden Arm” 1955, and, especially, “The Manchurian Candidate” 1962 which was probably his best film.
