It is indeed ironic that her father’s demise shot her into the limelight. Frank and Francine didn’t exactly have that father-daughter relationship as Frank denied to accept Francine as his daughter.

How Involved was Frank Sinatra Jr. in Francine Sinatra Anderson’s Childhood?

As is the case with most children who grew up without a father figure in the picture, life was not so rosy for Francine. One would think that Frank would be a great dad just as he was a great singer, but his four kids think otherwise. Francine had grown up to be constantly rejected and neglected by her father. This has had its fair toll on her as she constantly keeps away from the spotlight.

Frank had only contributed financially for her upkeep and tuition, but Francine’s mother, Mary Wallner, wanted more than a few dollar bills; she wanted Frank to acknowledge Francine as his daughter. She had written to Frank Sinatra Sr. about his granddaughter and was shocked to learn that Frank Sinatra Jr. never spoke about his daughter to his father.

Mary’s act infuriated Frank Sinatra Jr., and this resulted in a paternity suit drama. Mary’s lawsuit of 1980 didn’t get Frank to acknowledge Francine, but it did give the young lass a chance at the Sinatra family gathering.
