Discover the remarkable life of Sammy Davis Jr….
Sammy Davis Jr. had a certain sense of charm and charisma all throughout his life. He often used this charisma to get him through doors that would have otherwise stayed closed. It all started when he was just a kid, traveling the vaudeville circuit with his father, where he learned to sing and dance almost before he could read. From there, he survived segregation and violence in the army, lost an eye in a near-fatal car crash, and clawed his way back onto the stage before his glass eye had even settled in its socket. He broke barriers on Broadway and stood shoulder to shoulder with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Years later, he would take that same gumption and skill with him to the Rat Pack, as he and the likes of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin made Vegas all their own. Through broken marriages, financial ruin, addiction, and a final battle with the cancer that would take his life, Sammy Davis Jr. never stopped performing and never stopped reinventing himself. This is his life and his story, in full.
