Nancy Sinatra is a Actor and Theme Song Performance American born on 8 june 1940 at Jersey City (USA)
Nancy Sandra Sinatra Jr (born June 8, 1940) is an American singer and actress. She is the daughter of the late singer/actor Frank Sinatra and is widely known for her 1966 signature hit "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'".
Other defining recordings include "Sugar Town", the 1967 number one "Somethin' Stupid" (a duet with her father), the title song from the James Bond film You Only Live Twice, several collaborations with Lee Hazlewood such as "Jackson", and her cover of Cher's "Bang Bang", which was used in the opening sequence of Quentin Tarantino's 2003 film Kill Bill: Volume 1.
Nancy Sinatra began her career as a singer and actress in the early 1960s, but initially achieved success only in Europe and Japan. In early 1966 she had a transatlantic number-one hit with "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'". She appeared on TV in high boots, and with colorfully dressed go-go dancers, creating a popular and enduring image of the Swinging Sixties. The song was written by Lee Hazlewood, who wrote and produced most of her hits and sang with her on several duets, including the critical and cult favorite "Some Velvet Morning". In 1966 and 1967, Sinatra charted with 13 titles, all of which featured Billy Strange as arranger and conductor.
Sinatra also had a brief acting career in the mid-1960s including a co-starring role with Elvis Presley in the movie Speedway, and with Peter Fonda in The Wild Angels. In Marriage on the Rocks, Frank and Nancy Sinatra played a fictional father and daughter.
Sa carrière débute au milieu des années 1960, par une apparition dans quelques films. En tant que chanteuse, elle a tout d'abord une période qu'elle décrit aujourd'hui comme « bubble gum », puis connaît ses premiers vrais succès avec So Long Babe and How Does that Grab You, Darlin'?, puis Sugar Town et enfin These Boots Are Made for Walkin' (1966) qui lui assure une véritable renommée et fait d'elle durablement un grand nom du pop/rock féminin.
Cette chanson, devenue un symbole de l'émancipation des femmes pendant les années 1960, a d'abord été composée par Lee Hazlewood pour lui-même. Nancy Sinatra le convainc finalement de la lui laisser. Les paroles disent en substance : « tu m'as trompé(e), je vais t'écraser avec mes bottes », la chanson parle d'une jeune fille refusant les avances d'un homme plus vieux.
L'icône du cool
On la surnomme alors « l'icône du cool ». En 1967, elle enregistrera un duo avec son père Somethin' Stupid et aussi You Only Live Twice, la chanson du générique d'entrée du film de James Bond On ne vit que deux fois.
Au cours des années 1970, Nancy Sinatra s'associe avec Lee Hazlewood qui est déjà le compositeur de plusieurs de ses « tubes ». Leur duo, sur un créneau proche de Sonny and Cher, entre dans les charts avec des chansons telles que Some Velvet Morning ou Summer Wine.
Fin d'une époque
Malgré tous ces succès, la carrière de Nancy Sinatra décline doucement sans que celle-ci perde sa base d'admirateurs. En 1976, elle enregistre une chanson disco, Kinky Love, dont les paroles choqueront assez à l'époque pour qu'elle soit interdite de diffusion radiophonique. Le grand public, lui, ne se souvient plus de Nancy Sinatra qu'en tant que chanteuse sexy de These Boots Are Made for Walkin'. En mars 1995, elle pose pour le magazine Playboy, mais son album One more time sorti au même moment ne récolte qu'un succès d'estime.
En 2003, Quentin Tarantino la réhabilite en plaçant sa reprise de la chanson Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) (écrite par Sonny Bono et chantée par Cher en 1966, puis par Nancy Sinatra la même année) en ouverture du film Kill Bill. Une réévaluation de la carrière de Nancy Sinatra semble pouvoir faire de cette dernière, à la fois séduisante et libérée, l'influence majeure d'un grand nombre de chanteuses anglophones ayant œuvré contre le rôle passif accordé aux femmes jusqu'alors : Sheryl Crow, Debbie Harry (Blondie), Chrissie Hynde (Pretenders) ou encore Gwen Stefani (No Doubt).
Aujourd'hui
À l'automne 2004, Nancy Sinatra sort un nouveau disque, intitulé Nancy Sinatra. Dans ce nouvel opus, ce n'est plus Lee Hazlewood qui est aux commandes, mais AJ (Angela Jennifer Lambert, du groupe Rockets), la propre fille de la chanteuse, et on y rencontre des collaborateurs aussi divers que Morrissey (ancien chanteur de The Smiths), Thurston Moore (guitariste et chanteur de Sonic Youth), Joey Burns (membre de Calexico), Jarvis Cocker (ancien membre de Pulp), le guitariste Steven Van Zandt et Bono (chanteur de U2).
Elle possède maintenant une étoile sur le Hollywood Walk of Fame.
En 2007, elle fait une apparition dans un épisode de la série télévisée Les Soprano : Le Vice du jeu (Chasing It). Elle y joue son propre rôle.

Popular music of the 1960s was dominated by young bands like The Beach Boys, The Mamas & the Papas, Jan and Dean, and The Monkees. Listening to rock and roll on jukeboxes and car radios created devoted fans of these groups, whose music communicated the optimism and sorrow of a generation contending with strong countercultural forces.

In the opening scene, Scrat, the saber-toothed squirrel climbs a glacier to bury his acorn, but accidentally opens a hole in it, causing water to spurt out. The world of ice is slowly melting. The creatures of the Ice Age are all shown enjoying themselves on slides and pools made by the melting ice; among them the three protagonists of the first film: Manny, Sid, and Diego. Sid opens a small day camp, where none of the younger creatures take him seriously, nor do Manny and Diego, which leaves Sid seeking a daring deed. Fast Tony, a local con artist is claiming that the earth will flood and that the bark and reeds which he sells are needed to stay alive. Manny dismisses the idea, but is distracted when he sees that Sid will try to high dive from a giant waterfall; as Manny goes with Diego to the top of the waterfall to save Sid from his act of daredevilry, suddenly the ice under Diego's feet was breaking, causing him to bolt in fear, this also made Sid figure that Diego is afraid of the water. The herd figure that the pleasant weather has caused the ice shelves to melt, and it is kept from destroying the valley only by the glaciers, which have formed a dam.
