100 Years of Frank Sinatra: June 20, 1948, the Birth of Christina ('Tina')



The photo, of course, is not Mrs. Sinatra holding her newborn daughter Tina.  It's my Auntie Gen holding her niece and Tina's 'body double' Linda Guagliardo, who was also born around this time.

Linda's and my maternal grandmother was named Christine and was never, as far as I knew, addressed informally, i.e., Chris, Chrissy, Tina.


Unfortunately, I don't know the story behind this undated photo.   (My mother added the white ink designation.)
