Frank Sinatra married actress Mia Farrow in Las Vegas when she was 21 and he
was 50. At the time, Frank was enjoying renewed popularity as the song “Strangers
in the Night" returned him to the top of the Billboard charts only seventeen days
later. The couple met on the set of Sinatra’s film, Von Ryan’s Express. The marriage
fell apart 18 months later when she refused to drop her performance in the movie
Rosemary’s Baby. Sinatra served her divorce papers in front of the cast and crew
on the set during the filming.
