NANCY SINATRA
(Continued from page 18)
fx
At H, Nancy attends premiire with Dad and brother Frank.
i4c(or-st'nffer Tommy Sands married Nancy three years ago.
Nancy stars in first film, "For Those Who Think Young.'

"I tried to take religion, dramatics, and mythology, but
they all required three years of study, and I just couldn't
take it. I regret it now and hope one day to go back to
college through extension classes.
"When I left, I went to secretarial school because Mom
felt that if I should ever have to support myself, I'd better
know something. She didn't say what that was up to
me. I took Speedwriting, bookkeeping, typing, and filing.
"the Speedwriting still comes in very handy. My hus
band writes quite a bit, and he can dictate to me. He has
published a lot of songs, but he hides the stories he writes
and hasn't submitted any of them yet"
There was a rumor that both her parents were upset
when Nancy became engaged to actor-singer Tommy Sands
four years ago. Nancy refutes that "They had the normal
amount of concern any parents would have. They asked
me if I loved Tommy, and I said yes and I had never said
that before about anyone. That's the truth, believe me."
I did, because Nancy is one of the most honest and can
did persons I have ever met
She is convinced that she can make her marriage work
in spite of Hollywood's staggering divorce rate and the
unfortunate example set by her own parents' divorce.
"There are two major problems Tommy and I are trying
to avoid. Being separated is the most important one. If
I'm offered a job and Tommy has to be someplace else,
I turn down the offer because Tommy is more important
to me than the job.
"The second problem is communication: to talk things
out to be honest with each other. If Tommy and I disagree
about anything, we lock the door and have a discussion
until it's hashed out. Many times we have sat and stared
at each other so long that we break up laughing because
we look so Billy. It's amazing how it works."
IT IS A credit to both her parents that Nancy has been af
fected comparatively little by their divorce. ."It may
sound vague, but the only hard part was not seeing them
together. There was never any strangeness or animosity
between my parents. My mother never said an unkind
word about my father. And he used to talk to me on the
phone every day.
"Of course, I lived with both parents until I was eight.
But even later, I was with my Dad a great deal, and we've
shared many wonderful times together. When I was 14,
Daddy even took me on a trip to Australia, and I went
on other trips with him, too. We have always been close."
Today, Nancy and Tommy are living with her mother
and younger sister Tina, who is 15. "We bought a lot in
Beverly Hills, but we can't afford to build yet. We really
shouldn't have bought it for another 15 years. But we
knew it wouldn't be there then and it's such an ideal
place, we just had to buy it"
Nancy isn't worried about keeping house on her own.
"I know how to run a home as well as my mother does.
She taught me knitting and sewing during my childhood.
I know how to cook and iron and all the other things a
housewife has to know. Since I was 13, I have been in
charge of planning and cooking dinner one day each week.
"When Tommy and I lived in New York, I kept house
all by myself. Of course, a lot of people thought 'She has
it made; she married a movie-star.' But that's not true.
We lived on a very tight budget; and when we traveled
while Tommy filled singing engagements, I even carried
an electric frying pan along to cook breakfast in our room
because meals on the road are so terribly expensive.
"But I never minded that as long as I could be with
Tommy. The only thing that really tears me up is not
being able to be with my husband. I am terribly emotional,
and I have an awful lot of love to give to anyone who's
close to me."
Whatever else one might say about Frank Sinatra, it
is apparent that he and his first wife, Nancy, did a good
job of rearing their daughter.
