Frank Sinatra had numerous romances and was married four times, and accounts seem consistent that while Sinatra was passionate, he was also unfaithful, temperamental, and controlling.
Sinatra first married Nancy Barbato, whom he wed in his early twenties, and they had three children: Nancy, Frank, Jr., and Tina. The marriage ended because of his serial cheating. Sinatra married actress Ava Gardner shortly after the divorce was finalized. Sinatra's marriage to Gardner was the most publicized due to their explosive public fights. Both were heavy drinkers, and both had affairs. According to People, it was also reported that Gardner had two abortions after finding herself pregnant, insisting that their relationship was too unstable. The two divorced after six years.
Later, the 51-year-old Sinatra married 21-year-old Mia Farrow. According to The Vintage News, Sinatra demanded that Farrow give up her acting career. Farrow agreed, but, frustrated with the housewife's life, she accepted the lead role in Rosemary's Baby. Sinatra relented and arranged a small part for Farrow with his newest movie after she was done. However, the filming of Rosemary's Baby fell behind, and despite Sinatra's orders that she quit the film, Farrow held fast. Sinatra served her with divorce papers.
Sinatra's fourth marriage was to Barbara Marx. After Sinatra's death, Marx reported to USA Today that he was very much a "Jekyll and Hyde" husband, showering her with affection and expensive jewelry one minute, screaming and threatening the next. This final marriage lasted until Sinatra's death.
