Television Career
Not interested in becoming a singer like her father and siblings, Sinatra instead pursued acting early on. She took classes with actor Jeff Corey, and went on to appear opposite actor Hampton Fancher in the 1969 German television miniseries "Romeo und Julia 70." Sinatra resided in Germany for a number of years; following her time there, she returned to the United States to take more classes with Jeff Corey.

Tina Sinatra contributed her vocals to five of the tracks: "I Wouldn't Trade Christmas"; "O Bambino (One Cold and Blessed Winter)"; "The Bells of Christmas"; "Santa Claus is Coming to Town"; and the closing song, "The Twelve Days of Christmas."
