Frank Sinatra: Voted Best Acting Performance Ever By A Musician

I do have to hand it to Frank Sinatra. He was excellent in From Here To Eternity. His outstanding performance won him the Best Supporting Actor Oscar that year. It helped launch his comeback. It seems that participants in a certain poll believe he gave the best acting performance ever by a musician.

The music legend’s turn in the 1953 movie was labelled the greatest ever acting role by a musician in a poll carried out for getcloser.com.
