mid- to late-1940s, a marriage which
produced a son, Robert (aka Bobby),
but ended in divorce. Blakely became a Las Vegas showgirl in the 1950s, modeled
clothing for Mister Blackwell and, according to Blackwell, was a regular at
hotel/casino bars in order to come into contact with high rollers. This was how she
met Marx.
Her son Bobby was adopted by Zeppo Marx when he married Barbara, as his
second wife, on September 18, 1959, and Bobby became known as Bobby Marx.
Years later Barbara would try to get Frank Sinatra to legally adopt Marx when Marx
was a grown man; Sinatra's children intervened and prevented it.
In the early 1970s she started seeing Frank Sinatra, as a friend at first and later as a
lover. The two were married from July 11, 1976 until his death on May 14, 1998. It
was Frank's fourth and final marriage, and the longest-lasting one, despite Barbara's
cool relations with Frank's children (from his first marriage). According to Frank's
biography by Kitty Kelley and confirmed by Frank's daughter Tina in her book My
Father's Daughter, Frank's mother railed at the thought of Barbara as a daugherin-law, "I don't want no whore in this family!"
Best known as Barbara Marx, she is also sometimes credited as Barbara Sinatra.
