Personal LifeFrank Sinatra married his childhood sweetheart, Nancy Barbato, in 1939. They had three children together before their marriage unraveled in the late 1940s. In 1951, Sinatra married actress Ava Gardner; after they split, Sinatra remarried a third time, to Mia Farrow in 1966. That union, too, ended in divorce, and Sinatra married for a fourth and final time in 1976 to Barbara Blakely Marx, the widow of comedian Zeppo Marx. The two remained together until Sinatra's death more than 20 years later.
