EXCLUSIVE The daughter of America's most famous crooner was spotted smelling the roses... can you guess who she is?
She's the youngest child of one of America's most iconic crooners, born during the first of his four marriages.
And while both her brother and sister found some fame in the swinging '60s this daughter chose a quieter path.
She did dip her toes in her family's specialty, joining them for a 1968 Christmas album, lending her voice alongside her famous father and siblings.
But rather than chase the spotlight, she found her strength behind the scenes, carving out a successful career as a theatrical agent.
When her legendary father passed, she stepped in once more – this time to protect and preserve his cinematic and musical legacy.
Can you guess who she is?
It's Tina Sinatra!
Tina was spotted on Thursday talking a stroll before stopping to chat with a gardener a day before her 77th birthday.
Wearing a bright purple strappy maxi dress with a floral print, she bent down at one point to smell a rose.
As she bent down, a floral tattoo was spotted, centered on her back between her shoulder blades. Another one was visible on her foot.
Her sister Nancy's silky transatlantic tone and striking style made her a household name primarily through the novelty hit These Boots Are Made For Walkin' which was a Number One hit throughout the world in 1965.
And Nancy, now 85, teamed up with her famous father for Somethin' Stupid, which was also a huge international hit the following year.
Tina's brother, Frank Jr. – who died in 2016 aged 72 – had less success, but was still a regular guest on TV.
Frank Jr. is best remembered for being kidnapped from a Lake Tahoe hotel room in 1963 when he was 19.
His father eventually paid over $240,000 and he was released unharmed after two days. The two kidnappers were sentenced to long prison terms but only served a fraction of them before they were freed.
But twice-married, twice-divorced Tina largely kept out of the limelight. She did a little television work in Germany where she lived for several years and appeared in a few episodes of TV shows in the States including It Takes a Thief and McCloud.
She worked behind the scenes as an agent and film producer and in her 2000 memoir My Father's Daughter she wrote that she 'lacked the ambition and confidence' to become an actress.
Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese has long been planning a biopic of Tina's dad, who died in 1998, but it has been hung up by disputes with Tina who controls the Sinatra estate.
Kevin Spacey and Leonardo DiCaprio have both been named as possible portrayers of Ol' Blue Eyes with Jennifer Lawrence at one time named in the role of actress Ava Gardner with whom the legendary crooner had an affair that ended his marriage to Tina's mom, Nancy Barbato.
'They won't agree to it,' Scorsese told the Toronto Sun last year, referring to the surviving Sinatras.
'Open it up again and I'm there!'
Shortly after that interview, Tina disputed Scorsese's account. 'Marty and I have been dance partners for a long time and not once has he stepped on my toes!' she told TMZ.
But still there was no movement and the movie, which would look at Sinatra's alleged mob connections as well as his philandering is no closer to being made than it was in 2009 when Scorsese first floated the idea.
Sinatra was married three times – to Barbato from 1939-51, to Gardner from 1951-57 to Mia Farrow from 1966-68 and to Barbara Marx from 1976 till his death.
He was also engaged to both Lauren Bacall and Juliet Prowse and had numerous affairs, including with Marilyn Monroe and Lana Turner, giving Scorsese plenty of material for his movie.
The Hoboken, New Jersey, native was also dogged throughout his life by allegations of Mafia ties. He even admitted that if he hadn't have fallen into showbiz he would probably have lived a life of crime.
The FBI kept him under surveillance for more than 50 years.

Adorable baby animal on the brink of extinction is born at Iowa zoo
An adorable baby animal on the brink of extinction was born at a zoo in Iowa last week. Henri, a male addax, also known as a white antelope, was welcomed to the herd at Blank Park Zoo in Des Moines Thursday. Henri was born to his parents, Adeline and Po, who were both relocated to the zoo from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums Addax Species Survival Plan for a breeding recommendation, WHO13 reported. There are fewer than approximately 100 Addax left in the wild, making them ' critically endangered species,' the zoo said in a Facebook post. 'Henri might be hard to spot while he's resting. Addax calves often hide or "nest" when they're young. Be sure to say hi if you see him!,' they added alongside precious pictures of him exploring the zoo grounds. He is the second Addax calf born at Blank Park Zoo as his older sister Bonnie was born in 2023, the outlet said. Addaxes are native to the Sahara Desert and are known for their large, spiral horns and pale skin. Male addaxes can grow up to 41-45 inches tall while females can get to 37-43 inches. Although they are known for their light colored skin, it is known to change to a greyish-brown color in the winter. The white or sandy blonde shade typically comes back in the summer for the species. Anne Shimerdla, the President and CEO of Blank Park Zoo, shared her joy in welcoming Henri into the world, especially because he is part of an endangered species. 'Every birth like Henri's is a step forward for a species on the brink of extinction,' Shimerdla told the outlet. 'It underscores our ongoing dedication to species conservation and education. We hope that this, along with our temporary transformation into Dino Park Zoo this summer, will inspire guests to take action to save animals from extinction.' The zoo is set to open a new site, Dino Park Zoo, in July, according to the website. The exhibit is 'a prehistoric experience 65 million years in the making' that will allow visitors to 'walk among 15 life-sized animatronic dinosaurs and explore dino-themed exhibits, activities, and events that bring the ancient world roaring to life.' Although Henri's birth is especially exciting for the zoo, he is not the only new arrival welcomed this summer. Just days before Henri was born, two bamboo sharks, named Snoopy and Pluto, made their debut in the zoo's big reef aquarium in the Discovery Center Home. Henri was born to his parents, Adeline and Po, who were both relocated to the zoo from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums Addax Species Survival Plan for a breeding recommendation Bamboo sharks, also known as longtail carpet sharks, feed on bottom-dwellers and smaller fish. Zoo officials said their births marked the first time the zoo has ever housed sharks. A tiger shovelnose catfish was also recently welcomed to the Amazon aquarium in the zoo's Discovery Center. And just about a week before the sharks were born, a new rhino arrived at Blank Park Zoo. On June 11, a four-year-old eastern black rhino named AJ joined the crew after his transfer from Cincinnati Zoo. AJ, which is short for Ajani Joe, stands for 'he who wins the struggle' in Swahili. Guests are welcome to see all the new animals and more at the zoo, which is open daily.

Jennifer Garner shares an intimate moment with boyfriend John Miller as he sweetly supports her running event
Jennifer Garner and her boyfriend John Miller were the ultimate cute couple on Sunday morning. Miller gave his girlfriend a sweet smooch as he supported her at a running event she was hosting benefitting Save The Children. Garner, 53, flung her arms around her love, greeted him with a kiss, and held him close. For over two months, the Alias actress has committed to running a mile a day to raise money for hungry children, and Saturday's event marked the culmination of all her hard work. She invited fans to join her at the event in a recent Instagram post that chronicled her daily jogs. 'Join me on June 22nd to run a mile for @savethechildren! I've been running one mile a day for the last 67 days— just $67 can help bring a child back from the brink of starvation,' she wrote. 'Now I'm inviting you to join me for my final mile on Sunday, June 22nd with @becsgentry and @brooksrunning in support of Save the Children— in LA or from wherever you are! Let's celebrate what we've done and keep this movement going strong.' And John was there rooting his girlfriend on as she concluded her running streak. John arrived in a casual olive green T-shirt, jeans, and a cup of coffee to get the day going. As for Jennifer, she wore a '67 Strong 4 Kids' T-shirt, leggings, and her hair styled into braided pigtails. The 13 Going On 30 actress has been dating Miller on-off since 2018 and recently it's been reported that they have begun living together part-time. In a recent update of Garner and Miller's relationship, Us Weekly reported that John is now living with the Alias actress 'part time.' 'John is basically living with Jennifer,' a source told the publication back in April, noting it was only 'part time.' The site also claimed he moved out of his Los Angeles home after the wildfires ravaged several neighborhoods in the Southern California city, and he has yet to find a new pad. 'He has an office in L.A. and splits his time between staying there and at Jennifer's home,' the source said. 'But he's been staying with Jennifer more often [and] doesn't want to impose, so he's looking for his own place… [and] deciding whether he'll rent or buy.' Jennifer and John have been dating since 2018. Garner is also close to her ex-husband Ben Affleck whom she has her kids with: Violet, 19, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, 13. Ben bought a house just minutes from Garner so he can be closer to his kids. In March, learned Jennifer and John went on a cuddly date together. The lovebirds were 'holding hands and kissing' and acting 'very cute with one another' when walking through the Brentwood Country Mart in Los Angeles. The PDA session took place in March in the evening, said the eyewitness. 'They are still going strong and appear to be doing really well,' the source told 'They looked happy and at ease like they were a married couple that is thriving. They laughed and smiled at each other. Very cute. 'Both were dressed casually and she had no makeup on, her hair down. He had on a coat and jeans.' The source added that there was plenty of affection between the two of them. 'They held hands and kissed and looked like a very normal couple with no Hollywood weirdness.'
