People Would Sneak Around Their Home
Nancy wasn’t born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Her father wasn’t anybody yet when she was born. He only rose to the top as a solo artist in 1943. As Nancy put it, “once he hit, he really hit.” She told The Guardian about the days in her childhood when she would notice people sneaking around their home to take a peek at her famous dad.

In fact, it caused Nancy’s mother to worry her kids might get kidnapped. And sure enough, about 20 years later, in 1963, Nancy’s younger brother, who was 18 at the time, Frank Jr., was indeed kidnapped. He was taken from a Lake Tahoe casino and released two days later when Frank Sr. paid a $250,000 ransom.
