    Sinatra was not Streisand's father. Maybe your sister's thinking of Nancy Sinatra who was also a singer.

    Frank Sinatra

  • 1 decade ago

    Nancy Sinatra's father was Frank Sinatra. Nancy was a singer too. She sang "These boots are made for walking." Jessica Simpson recently did a cover version of it.

    And to answer the original question: No, Barbara Streisand's father was not Frank Sinatra, but the people above me already said that.

    Emanuel Streisand, a grammar school teacher, died when Barbara was 15 months old. Sinatra was Italian and Barbara is Jewish. Althoug Sinatra was about 20 years older he was not her father!
