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. Subsequently, in the 70s, she appeared in episodes of such television series as "It Takes a Thief," "Adam-12," "McCloud," and "Mannix." Among her other television credits, she appeared alongside both her siblings and the children of singer Dean Martin on the variety program "The Dean Martin Show." Later, in 1977, Sinatra was in the television film "Fantasy Island," which became the pilot of the eponymous television series.
Music Career
Despite not wanting a career in the music industry, Sinatra made a brief foray into singing when she appeared on her father's 1968 album "The Sinatra Family Wish You a Merry Christmas." On the album, she sang with her siblings Frank Jr. and Nancy. 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."
Hollywood Agent
Still disinterested in singing, and lacking the confidence to make a career out of acting, Sinatra became a Hollywood agent under Arnold Stiefel. In this role, she represented actor Robert Blake, the star of the television detective series "Baretta." Sinatra also took control of parts of her father's career, at his request. After her father passed away, Tina Sinatra took charge of his film and music properties.
