Nancy Sinatra

Born as the first child of Frank Sinatra and Nancy Sinatra in Jersey City on June 8th 1940. First TV appearance was with her father and Elvis Presley in 1959. First appeared as a film actress in 1964 in For Those Who Think Young (1964) and Get Yourself a College Girl(1964). Nancy appeared alongside Elvis in Speedway (1968).Sinatra began her career as a singer and actress in the early 1960s, but initially achieved success only in Europe and Japan. In early 1966 she had a transatlantic number-one hit with "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'", which showed her provocative but good-natured style, and which popularized and made her synonymous with go-go boots. The promo clip featured a big-haired Sinatra and six young women in tight tops, go-go boots and mini-skirts. The song was written by Lee Hazlewood, who wrote and produced most of her hits and sang with her on several duets, including the critical and cult favorite "Some Velvet Morning". In 1966 and 1967, Sinatra charted with 13 titles, all of which featured Billy Strange as arranger and conductor.
