Frank Sinatra met his first wife, Nancy Barbato, in Long Branch, New Jersey, in the summer of 1934 while working as a lifeguard. He agreed to marry her after an incident at “The Rustic Cabin” led to his arrest. Their marriage lasted from 1939 to 1951, and they had three children, Nancy (born 1940), Frank Jr. (1944–2016) and Tina (born 1948).
Sinatra had numerous extramarital affairs, and gossip magazines reported that he had affairs with Marilyn Maxwell, Lana Turner, and Joi Lansing.
Photographer Ed Thrasher captured these images of Frank Sinatra and his daughter Nancy Sinatra during a recording session in 1967.
