Photos By Sammy

Sammy Davis Jr. didn’t have plans for his photography. He never thought, ‘Well, I’ll publish pictures of Frank and Peter and Dean.’ His pleasure in photography was to take pictures of people that he liked, and if he liked the picture, he would send it to you — an 11 by 14. He had no future plans for his photography. It was purely for pleasure. So he never bothered keeping records carefully and keeping the negatives attached to the proof sheets. It was a tremendous job separating them. In a labor of love that came close to matching the affection Davis had for his latest single lens reflex, hundreds of images have been included in a coffee table book collection of Hollywood’s glory days, seen through the lens of Sammy’s myriad collection of Nikons, Canons, and Rollieflex cameras. ‘Photo By Sammy Davis, Jr.’ went into print in 2007, the last book published by Judith Regan

Jerry's got a Gun

82-year-old comic legend Jerry Lewis was making his way through security at Las Vegas' McCarran International Airport when an unloaded gun was discovered in his carry-on.

LAAAAADY...

According to Entertainment Tonight, Jerry said he didn't realize he had a gun in there. For that matter Jerry didn't realize he was even in the airport... He told security that family members had used his bag. When all else fails, blame Dean Martin. Jerry was only cited for carrying a concealed weapon without a permit.

You and I, of course, would've had the shit beat out of us by TSA and been tazered by the Las Vegas PD before being turned over to the FBI for more caning...

Happy Birthday Jerry

Sammy, Jerry, Bill, Peter, Hugh...
