Entertainer. He was an American singer, songwriter, conductor, and actor. Born Francis Wayne Sinatra, to Frank Sinatra, who was considered one of the most famous entertainers of the 20th century, and his first wife Nancy Barbato, he followed in the shadow of his father's successful career. With his father's birthname being Francis Albert Sinatra, he was not named a "Jr." after his father, but used Frank Sinatra, Jr. professionally. In December 8, 1963 Sinatra was kidnapped from Harrah's Lake Tahoe, yet was released after two days when Sinatra's father paid a $240,000 ransom. His three kidnappers, who were school classmates of his older sister, were later captured, prosecuted, and convicted of the crime, serving between three-and-a-half to four years of what was originally a 75-year sentence. His career started in his teens with him performing in local clubs and venues. At age 19, Sinatra was the vocalist for Sam Donahue's band as well as performing with his own band on the Las Vegas strip. Sinatra's album discography included "Young Love For Sale" in 1965, "As I Remember It" in 1966, "Spice" in 1972, "It's Alright" in 1977, "That Face" in 2006 and in response to his father's 1969 hit "My Way," he released "His Way!" in 1973. Sinatra also had numerous credits for vocal singles, as well as writing and composing at least five songs, and being a musical director. Like his father, Sinatra's career also included television and film work. His early television appearances included "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour" with his sister Nancy as well as hosting a summer replacement for "The Dean Martin Show." As an actor, his television credits included "The Patty Duke Show" in 1963, "Alias Smith and Jones" in 1972, three episodes of "Adam-12" from 1972 to 1974, "Marcus Welby" in 1973, "The Love Boat" in 1979, "Hollywood Homicide" in 2003, and his voice in "Family Guy" in three episodes from 2006 to 2008. He appeared in the film "A Man Called Adam" in 1966, along with at least eight other films in minor roles. In 1988, Sinatra placed his own career on hold to become his father's musical director and conductor, a position which he held until the elder Sinatra's death in 1998, but resumed his career with success. Sinatra married once in 1998 to Cynthia Murray but the marriage ended in divorce two years later. He had one son, Michael Sinatra, from a previous relationship. Sinatra died unexpectedly from cardiac arrest while on tour in Daytona Beach, Florida. Besides his son, Sinatra was survived by his mother Nancy and his sisters, Nancy and Tina. Although his image appeared on the cover of teen magazines and "TV Guide" in the 1960s, he appeared with his father's image on the cover of "Life" magazine in the August of 1963 edition and "Family Weekly" in June of 1984. In 1967 he was nominated in the category of the "New Face" for the Laurel Award, which was presented by "Motion Picture Exhibitor" magazine.
