Who knew Sammy Davis Jr. was such a photo buff? Certainly I didn’t. But as a new book shows, he certainly was a prolific photographer. Amazon has the product info here: Photo by Sammy Davis, Jr.
Good Morning America has some of the candid shots taken by Sammy that are included in this book. It is a who’s who of American entertainment during the 50’s and 60s - Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, Louis Armstrong, Ava Gardner and so many more. Wow!
[CBS News has more background on the photos.]
The Sunday Express (UK) published pictures from the book. The one featuring Marilyn Monroe, Lauren Bacall and Betty Grable is amazing - where can I find just this image?
I just did a post on Top Crooners, andn it included Frank. Sammy, Dean, among others. Sto pby and say hi sometime.
