Frank Sinatra
Long before crossover careers became commonplace, Frank Sinatra established himself as a major film star.
His role in the 1953 movie From Here to Eternity earned him the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, helping revive both his acting and music careers.
Ol' Blue Eyes also appeared in The Man with Golden Arm and The Manchurian Candidate – as well as musicals such as Guys and Dolls and High Society.
