About Frank Tinney
- Frank Aloysius Robert Tinney (March 29, 1878 – November 28, 1940) was an American blackface comedian and actor. Tinney achieved considerable success in vaudeville and on Broadway in the early 20th century.
- Comedian Joe Cook considered Tinney "the greatest natural comic ever developed in America." Tinney's career and marriage were ruined after he was accused of beating his mistress, Ziegfeld girl Imogene "Bubbles" Wilson in May 1924.
- Although he was never formally charged, the ensuing publicity ruined his reputation. Tinney suffered a number of health problems after the scandal and eventually had a nervous breakdown.
- He never regained his health and died in November 1940.
