Frank Sinatra, the iconic singer known for hits like “I’ve Got the World on a String” and “Come Fly with Me,” has always been a beloved figure in entertainment history.
However, a recent biography by Hollywood biographer Darwin Porter delves into Sinatra’s personal life like never before, revealing startling revelations about his past that have shocked fans and critics alike.
According to Porter’s new book titled “Frank Sinatra, The Boudoir Singer,” Sinatra, at the age of 19, found himself in dire straits as he struggled to kickstart his singing career.
Desperate and penniless, he was allegedly convinced to star in a pornographic film in 1934 called “The Masked Bandit” for a meager sum of $100.
This scandalous claim has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry, as Sinatra had always kept this part of his past hidden from the public eye.

Upon learning of Davis’ possession of the film, Sinatra reportedly took swift action to ensure its destruction, highlighting the lengths to which he went to conceal this aspect of his youth.
