NANCY SINATRA | 81

People will surely know Nancy Sinatra as the eldest daughter of the legendary singer Frank Sinatra. However, she is more than just a child of an iconic performer. Nancy didn’t let herself be stuck behind her father’s shadow. She made a name for herself and became famous for her 1965 hit song These Boots are Made for Walking, which is still widely popular today. In the mid-1960s, Sinatra ventured into acting, starting with a co-starring role in the movie Speedway with Elvis Presley, and in Wild Angels together with Peter Fonda.

Frank and Nancy Sinatra also played a fictional daughter-and-father duo in Marriage on the Rocks. It has become Nancy’s signature that whenever you hear her songs, you will know and think that it’s her who is singing. Interestingly, Nancy tried to earn a degree from the University of California when she was just starting in the industry. However, she decided to drop out and focused on her career instead.
