Frank Shields Sr. was born on November 18, 1909 in New York City, New York, USA. He was an actor, known for I Live My Life (1935), The Goldwyn Follies (1938) and Come and Get It (1936). He was married to 'Katharine Mortimer', Donna Marina Torlonia di Civitella-Cesi and Rebecca Tenney. He died on August 19, 1975 in New York City, New York, USA.
Famously handsome, flamboyant amateur tennis player. Reached the 1931 Wimbledon finals, but was forced to default due to injury, the first time a player (in this case, Sidney Wood) won a singles major by default.
Pancho González paid tribute to Shields as being one of his biggest supporters and inspirations. In something of an irony, Pancho's last wife, Rita, is the sister of Shield's grand-daughter Brooke's ex-husband, Andre Agassi.
