Baby Frank Sinatra, photographed just a few months after his birth, purposely at this angle so that the birth wounds on the other side of his face would not show. He was born thirteen and a half pounds to a woman less than five feet tall, and had a very difficult birth. After being pulled from his mother Dolly with forceps, he was believed to be dead and was set aside so that the nurse could try to save his mother. His grandmother swooped him up, put him under cold water and saved his life.
