Natalie Wood & Frank Sinatra

[ashleyg325]

OMG. You guys are all speaking as though Frank forced Natalie to sleep with him when she was young. HELLO! It's Frank Sinatra! She chose to do it. Natalie grew up way too fast in Hollywood and so I'm sure she didn't think much of sleeping with an older man. It was 100% consensual, and though strange, it's not a reason to dislike either of them IMO

[honeybee7700]

@ashleyg325 You are so right and Natalie cared for him too as a friend that is why frank was a pallbearer at her funeral.

[Taharah007]

Frank loved the ladies...the very year he and Mia were divorcing, I was speaking to his driver one day in downtown Manhattan...I am Mia's age and I said that I would love to meet Frank. The driver lit a cigarette and shook his head, "Girl, you don't want to meet Frank. You know where he is right now as I sit here sipping my drink?" I shook my head "No." The driver looked me in the eye and said "He's upstairs romping with three Asian teenage girls." I was so disillusioned.

[honeybee7700]

@Taharah007 yeah he loved the ladies but I still love him. He treated a lady like a dame and a dame like a lady ;-)

[vanessalove182]

@Taharah007 Mia was 21 when she married him! That's a big difference between a middle aged man who marries some 21 year old starlet, than one who has sex with a 15 year old!

[ashleyg325]

Frank wasn't the only older man in Hollywood that Natalie slept with as a teenager. But who cares? Anyway they're adorable, this is a great song, and they're both awesome, talented people.

[honeybee7700]

@ashleyg325 amen !

[mvy17]

LOVE THIS SONG...

[defundthewar]

George Jacobs, Frank's valet, documents the affair in his book. Aside from Jacobs, a LOT of people are lying about it, unless it is true. And I believe it's true. One thing about Frank, his tastes were diverse. Aside from the 15 year old Natalie, he had a fling with Marlene Dietrich, who was born in 1901. No one can begrudge Frank his favorite hobby, but at 15, it's not exactly consensual between 2 adults.

[honeybee7700]

@defundthewar yes they had an affair but natalie was not 15 at the time. Frank was not a pedophile.

[defundthewar]

@honeybee7700 As I said, you-know-what was his favorite hobby. He couldn't help it.  It's not that he was a pedophile, he was an everything-o-phile. Whatever he wanted, he got. As he crowed when he watched a very tame CBS documentary about himself, "We own the world!" He really meant, "I own the world!" It's how he was. And regular laws about underaged girls were for other people, not him. It's best to accept reality, honeybee, about everything, including a great talent, Frank.

[honeybee7700]

@honeybee7700 I do accept reality I know frank was a ladies man and did what he wanted but he slept with natalie when she was well over 15 years old lol. They filmed together in 1958 and they started dating in the early 60's there is well documented photos of when frank started to date her.

[vanessalove182]

@honeybee7700 That is a load of crap. They were photographed at parties during that time period but were not dating at that time.

[honeybee7700]

@vanessalove182 Frank dated Natalie wood and slept with her.

[vanessalove182]

I don't like Frank.

The rumor is (according to Suzanne Finstad's book) that she was 15 and he was 38 when the affair happened.

I am sorry but that is just wrong. I still don't know if I believe Suzanne....I hope it's not true.

@vanessalove182 Old Pervert

[bluekarma]

@vanessalove182 the age is set by SOCIETY not by nature or God. Females are quite capable of having babies at 12-13 y.o., and have throughout history, so why is it in modern times a sin or immoral? Because someone decided? You can't stop nature and Natalie I am sure wasn't so naive at 15. Usually women are 3-4 years more mature than their actual age.

[vanessalove182]

@bluekarma That is not the subject. My point was that a man in his 40s should not see a 15-year old as a woman he can date. He should see her as if he were his daughter.

[bluekarma]

@vanessalove182 Really? Who died and left you too make the rules? In many socities, there have been age differences such as that! What about Frank and Mia Farrow(her 18, him 53). What about Woody Allen and that Asian woman he married who was 40 years younger than him? You should check out other cultures because ours is not the only one nor the morally correct one. In the Bible, there are cases of extreme age differences!

[vanessalove182]

@bluekarma Mia was 21 not 18. ALl the women you mentioned were adults. Natalie was 15. The fact that a middle aged man (there were at least 3) would date her is simply wrong. I didn't make the rules. There are laws against it and each of those men would be charged like R. Kelly or Roman Polanksi had they been caught/accused at the time.

[honeybee7700]

@vanessalove182 they had an affair in the 60's and Natalie was well over 15. They filmed a movie together in 1958 and became close after the filming.

[honeybee7700]

@vanessalove182 Frank's daughter Tina even talks about her father dating Natalie Wood in her book.

[vanessalove182]

@honeybee7700 Yes I have acknowledged that there was something...can't delete my old comments. But to say they dated when Natalie was in her 20s is bullshit. The alleged affair was when she was 15 and he was 38.

Two legends who get better as the years go by.

Thank you for posting this.

Hey MuirMaiden I love this video you made !. These 2 were just great individually and together by the way did you know that Frank Sinatra sang a song with Natalie Wood called "Them There Eyes" ? It's a really fun recording you should look for it and make a video to it it's very cute!

[vanessalove182]

I don't think they were EVER romantically involved. I've read that they did some places but its rubbish. They were just friends. Lets see a video of her and Redford for a change

[Muirmaiden]

I guess we won't know for sure if they were ever more than friends or not, but clearly they shared a friendship.

Why don't you make a video for her and Redford, if you want to see one so much? What makes my videos of her with Sinatra, Hunter and Dean so inadequate? I like her with Redford too, but I wouldn't call him the only real leading man in her films. Clearly there were many actors she worked with wonderfully onscreen.

[vanessalove182]

hmm well he was a player but i think they were just friends (not with benefits). he was 23 years older than her but dated a lot of younger women, even married mia farrow who was 30 years younger.

i will make a video of just her and redford. i love them together and wish they married.

[bluekarma]

@Muirmaiden does Redford sing? lol

[honeybee7700]

it's quite reported that they dated over the years but nothing serious but he did date her.

[vanessalove182]

no he didn't. she was pressured to sleep with him as a teenager to help her career, but she didn't. he was the same age as her father. they were just friends. those rumors are rubbish.

[honeybee7700]

@vanessalove182

His daughters Nancy Sinatra and Tina Sinatra have even admitted it. They did casually date but anyways it doesn't matter this is a lovely video so let's enjoy it :)

[vanessalove182]

I know.

Still don't believe it though.

His daughter Tina dated Natalie's husband, Robert Wagner though.

[snoops71]

Very nice!

[fabmumno1]

My favourite song from my parent's record collection. Takes me back Thank you!

[Dranacaull]

With the passing of my father March 28, 2009 just a mere 8 hours before my wedding, this song makes me sad but at the same time happy. I love this song.

[spokeshole]

This video gets 5 stars! Very well done.

Natalie was so beautiful

[kevvy1908]

This is my favourite Frank Sinatra song, and I haven't heard a better version yet. It is not played often enough on the radio or tv. Nice video too! I didn't know about Natalie and Frank, but then I've led a very sheltered life;-)

[simonteam]

one of the most classic beauties ever-thanks again

[bella1957]
