Sammy Davis, Jr.

I do enjoy the idea of old Hollywood. The glamor, the secrecy, the love affairs. In my random internet search I stumbled upon Photo By Sammy Davis, Jr. and was stuck by the power of his insider- outsider gaze. Even as a a star in his own right, his experience as a black man during the 1950's/60's must have created some sense of barriers which were seemingly uncrossable. I think it's a testament to the complexity of people though, when I see these images, which are really quite good, and reflect on the time period itself.

Sha-bang-bang-boing.
