Freddie Mercury, Elvis and Ray Charles are few of the cultural superstars who were once the focus of biopic films, and they certainly will not be the last. Oscar-winning film director Martin Scorsese is once again drumming up chatter surrounding himself and Academy Award winner and film frontman Leonardo DiCaprio. The 'Shutter Island' actor is rumored to play Frank Sinatra, one of the most highly regarded American singers of all time, in an upcoming biopic by Scorsese.
Ol’ Blue Eyes’ daughter, Tina Sinatra, controls her father’s estate, and there is no word she has greenlighted production on the film. Contrarily, Jennifer Lawrence is rumored to have been selected for the part of sassy and skilled American actress Ava Gardner, Sinatra’s second wife. There is no studio presently attached to film. This is not the first time Scorsese has worked to rubber-stamp a biopic about the former star of a popular Las Vegas residency.
While the biopic has yet to hit studios for filming, if approved, fans can expect to see at least some of the tumultuous relationship between Sinatra and Gardner play out. Sinatra married Gardner after their yearslong passionate tryst was revealed by paparazzi during his marriage to high school sweetheart, Nancy Sinatra Sr. Only a few short weeks after the married couple of 12 years divorced, on Nov. 7, 1951, Sinatra wed Gardner at a friend’s home in Philadelphia.
