Nancy Sandra Sinatra was born the first child of Frank Sinatra and Nancy Sinatra on June 8, 1940 in Jersey City, New Jersey. Her first television appearance was with her father and Elvis Presley in 1959. She first appeared as a film actress in For Those Who Think Young (1964) and Get Yourself a College Girl (1964). Nancy appeared alongside Elvis in the musical comedy Speedway (1968). She also had a successful career as a singer with two United States chart-toppers ("These Boots Are Made for Walking" and the duet with her father called "Somethin' Stupid") as well as numerous other chart entries including the John Barry / Leslie Bricusse penned theme song to the James Bond film You Only Live Twice (1967). Lee Hazlewood wrote many of her songs and sang with her on some of them. By the early 1970s, she was covering new ground by recording songs from other writers such as Bob Dylan, Smokey Robinson, Lynsey de Paul and Roy Wood. In recent years, Nancy has made a comeback also not hindered by the recent successful re-recording of "Somethin' Stupid" by Robbie Williams and Nicole Kidman. Show less «

There are a lot of people who would laugh at the idea of me being a good singer.

I think most people are aware of the garbage in the tabloids and don't give them a lot of credence.

I was singing about six notes higher than I had to, in a range that kept me up in a bubblegum sound.

I have never been accepted. I'll never make the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They're never going to let me in.

It would be nice to be on the charts again, nice to be recognized.

Morrissey wrote a really gorgeous song for me. I'm crazy for that man. And he thinks I'm hip!

I was at a party three weeks prior to the murders at Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate's house.

I was successful with mediocre material because of a good recording voice that people really liked at that time.

I was a star in Italy, Australia, Germany and Japan before the American stations ever paid attention at all.

After things started to happen here, my choice of material was extremely limited. It was a weird situation.

I wasn't allowed to grow as an artist. My albums were nicer to look at than to listen to.

I didn't just want to be Frank's daughter who sang Boots. I take my music very seriously and studied very hard. It's not a joke to me.

I think I've finally proven something to people who were cynical about me. Because they were cruel.

Frank's audience doesn't care if a girl singer, a comic or an organ grinder with a monkey opens the show. They are there to see HIM.

I am the daughter of the Chairman of the Board and thus, was raised with great music.

Dad really had little to do with the songs, except to perform them.
