Film: ‘Sammy Davis Jr.: I’ve Gotta Be Me’ Followed by Q&A with with Director
|
A dancer, singer, impressionist, and actor of unparalleled charisma, Sammy Davis Jr. began dazzling audiences at age three and never stopped until his death at 64. A star of stage and screen and member of the legendary Rat Pack, he broke racial barriers but paid a heavy price for it. Defying societal norms concerning interracial romance, religion, and political affiliation, Davis courted controversy many times, but always with grace and honesty. Following the film will be a Q&A with director Sam Pollard, interviewed by Bruce Fretts, New York Times freelance entertainment writer. This showing is part of the Greenwich International Film Festival.
