When Success Couldn't Shield Him from America's Ugliest Truth
A young performer stands in the wings of the New Frontier casino in Las Vegas, November 1954. After 26 years of grinding through vaudeville circuits, sleeping on dressing room floors, and entering venues through kitchen doors, Sammy Davis Jr. finally feels the shift. Audiences lean forward to catch his every move. Casino workers greet him with "Hi'ya, Sam" instead of "You're not allowed here." Walking through those same gambling halls that once barred him, he savors this hard-won freedom. Then fate delivers its cruelest joke. Driving to record his first movie soundtrack in his brand-new Cadillac, Sammy crashes into a roadblock. His eye hangs by a string. Twenty-six years of work, of swallowing indignities, of reaching for something better-was it all for nothing?
