Who Was Frank Sinatra?
2. Traumatic Birth
Frank Sinatra was born on December 12, 1915. Delivered in his parents apartment, his birth did not go smoothly and Sinatra had to be pulled forcefully from the womb with a pair of forceps.
When he emerged, he was not breathing and had turned blue. It was thought he had died. Not giving up, Sinatra’s grandmother picked up the baby and placed him under cold running water, causing him to wake up. Although he had survived the ordeal, Sinatra was left with severe scars and a perforated ear drum because of the way he was forcefully pulled out with the forceps.
