Frank Sinatra
Widely regarded as the first teen heartthrob, Frank Sinatra started the teen idol business. Literally. In fact, his teen idol fame started so early (1940s) his fans were called "bobby soxers." Sinatra's success with teens (he was 26 at the time) taught the music industry that records could be marketed to a younger audience. Remarkably, up until then, no one thought about selling music to kids.

On Bitter Celebrity Custody Battles...ddfstop said "Children always suffer when their adults start acting like "children!" Tax Evation?? That woman is a fine role model for her daughter ... not! She should never be allowed to have any custody of their daughter because the daughter will only get bounced back to Jesse and Sandra the next time she decides to mess with the IRS. Even a genius will testify that that is not very smart ... forget being a genious. It ain't nice ta mess wit da IRS!!'Nuff said!"
