21. Nancy Sinatra

The first wife of Frank Sinatra lived to a grand old age. She was a centurion by the time she passed away, having reached 101. She never surrendered her married name after her divorce from Frank, meaning that she shared both her first and second name with her daughter, who followed her father into the world of entertainment.

Sinatra and her future husband were more or less childhood sweethearts. She met him long before he was a household name, and even worked as a waitress to help support him as he tried to get his career off the ground. After their divorce, which was due to Frank's extramarital affairs, she was awarded a percentage of his income and estate. She then devoted her life to doing good with that money, staying out of the public eye but working with a lot of charitable causes.
