Paul Anka
- Actor
- Composer
- Music Department
Canadian-born Paul Anka first achieved success in the 1950s as a
teenage singing star (and, for the times, an unusual one in that he
wrote many of his own songs). Although he appeared in several films,
and was quite believable as a nervous, hyper young soldier in
Le Jour le plus long (1962) (for which
he also composed the theme music), Anka's main interest was music, and
he concentrated his efforts into composing (he wrote lyrics for
Frank Sinatra's classic "My Way") and
nightclub appearances in Las Vegas.
