Wow I loved what Kim Novak said at the end of the Video, she didn't see color with Sammy she saw a great man she like being around.(paraphrasing).😊
Truly a great man, yes and a great lady
Hats off to Kim Novak for representing what a true human being is supposed to be and seeing the beauty in all human beings and not the color of their skin , she is truly a beautiful human being. Peace everyone make ❤️ not war.
Pure love chained by the conventions of Hollywood and the US.
Ms. Devries , i agree with you n your absolutely correct with your comment. Peace.
Right, I remember having a crush on her watching her movies when I was a kid. Now I see that she was a woman worth loving, and even more. I admire her courage and was in awe through-out all of this. I would've loved to have known a woman like her.
I'm a victim of that same crush , great minds n great hearts are all alike, hate has no place. Peace everyone.
She was a lovely woman. It’s so sad that they couldn’t remain together
Some people actually think that they were put on this earth to control the lives of other people, but they aren’t. We given our gifts for good purposes only, and how we treat one another is all that matters.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if certain mixed up people in our country dropped the dictator tendency?
It's wonderful that she was "color blind."
What she did and who she loved was nobody’s business
Thank You kindly. She was a very beautiful woman and actress.
How can a group of people be so damn insecure that they felt they had to control everything around them including who other people dated based on their own hatred ,it's truly deplorable and unfortunate some people still feel that way in today's societies.
TRUE words 👍
@@steviepigford1912: Unbelievably common... even today. Not just whites either. I’ve had exposure to Indians, Pakistanis and Chinese who discriminate similarly.
There called Democrat/socialist party. How do you studied the history? You need to study the history before you could ask questions. Try “Bill Whittle; pin the tail on the donkey”. Hard to believe that the Democratic teachers union failed to fill all of you people in on the simple little message LOL
@@TheMorganMonroeShow your own insecurities ignorance and bigotry is showing with this comment
A perfect example of the depth and effort that racists will go through to exercise their primitive, irrational hatred.
Times were different then....I didn’t know the rules because my parents hadn’t taught me to not accept everyone. In high school I chose black friends, but was pulled aside at age 14, and told I was noticed walking down the hall with my black friends...told not to do that! It happened again when I was working in 1964, and invited my friends to church! Thankfully, I chose my friends, and they came to my wedding in 1965...a rare thing, and I was so proud they risked everything to support me! Loved them!
@@suzannerobbins6293 racist
I saw Sammie Davis Jr, in a movie, in which he played US marshal. The racial discrimination, was so blatant and cruel, that I wanted to smack everyone of those people, who had been acting that way. I was so glad, that at the end of the movie, the father of the girl, called him friend, and the US marshal, also called him friend. My mother was also afraid of black people. However, she had completely changed her views, when she had gotten older. One of her best friends, was one of the nurses that she worked with😊😊😊
@@winonamassingill7895 The film takes some time to start due to the huge list of production companies involved in the production, which, at first, left me with lowered expectation. After all if they had to shop the world to get it made, how good could it be? More on that later.
I was very wrong and very happily surprised.
This film was excellent! The story was captivating the acting was award worthy and the filmography and effects were amazing. Although the dialogue was a bit corny at times, it was delivered expertly by everyone. In all it was a must see movie.
And it wasn't long before I discovered why it took so many companies to make this film: It was NOT a typical Hollywood movie. In fact Hollywood would not have made this film. Why? Because it did not play into the politically correct, anti-religious, ultra-liberal agenda that has become required today to make a film there. In fact, this film was pure entertainment, no brainwashing, no political message, no forced scenes that have nothing to do with the story but are necessary to get past studio PR department. Nope, this film was from the old school, a story with drama, a touch of comedy, tragedy and amazing action.
And it was and absolute JOY to watch a film without feeling that you were being manipulated with some underlying message that supports the message of the loud and vocal without having anything to add to the story.
This was a REAL movie, with REAL actors, with a REAL story that kept you on the edge of your seat until the very last scene.
If you, like me, are tired of the propaganda inspired crap that has been coming out of Hollywood for the last decade then you have got to see this movie. Thanks to everyone involved in this move. It is nice to see that not everyone in the entertainment business has sold out. Hopefully your bravery will inspire others to start making MOVIES again.
It seems to be making a comeback
I never knew that. Kim Novak and Sammy Davis jr were an item. It’s too bad that in those times things were so bigoted.

@@mariarod6998 EXACTLY
Kim Novack - a class act!
Seems Miss Novak was well ahead of her time.
Well she was intelligent strong woman with a mind of own and love and compassion! Not being a racist is not ahead of the times, it shows her superior morals and values....and the fact that love supersedes hatred, racism, ignorance by others.
@@gracemunich1476 It also shows that a person in this situation has 'heart and character' above all others.
She was not a racist
@@clarissaubawuike6596 True indeed! But many others were....and destroyed their chance at happiness
If you ask me-Harry Cohn was a out right tyrant and a racist.
She was very pretty and good actress
This video made me cry literal tears. It's disgusting how Hollywood treated women and anyone who wasn't a white man.
I'm sorry to hear that! 😟 Thank you for your honest comment Josefina!
@@AgeOfVintage thank you for your content. 😃
@@JozieMaXine 🙂
Novak who was incredibly beautiful had always these fascinating but scary eyes.
Kim Novak was easily the most beautiful actress of 50's Hollywood. She was not only beautiful but talented, some of her movies are today considered classics.
nobody should tell anyone who they should go out with its ashame theres idiots out there has the right to judge other people
The supreme court ruled on interracial marriage in mid 60's in the Loving case.
it upsets me to see things like interracial marriage, we are only one race Homo Sapien! So, how can you have an interracial marriage...people who write this are so ignoramus in the biggest sense of the word.
@@labellaescrima1996 I agree, but unfortunately the world we live has other thoughts.

@General Tito Exactly there was a Website that White Nationalists created to target only White Women that date Black and Brown men not the other way around.
Those years and days were hard. For the colour of ur skin.....me I don’t see a colour just a person........... ❤️
Thank you for your comment! 🙂
@@AgeOfVintage if only the world would do that.
It's still hard
@@AgeOfVintage To each their own!!!
What, no pictures of Davis, even though he was referenced 100 times?
It is very difficult to find quality images of certain eras that I can use in a video. Some images are so poor quality that it’s hard to tell what’s on it, but it also happens that there are no images of a particular thing at all. For a video, I use about 140 photos, but I’m already happy to find 80 usable photos of an actor/actress. I try my best, to make the videos better and better, but it's not something that always depends on me. I find it better, if I show random good pictures of someone, than nothing at all. I hope you understand and thank you for your feedback! 🙂
@@AgeOfVintage Not being hypercritical but simply pointing out that having a few pictures of her true love, Sammy Davis Jr., would have been expected...even one. But I enjoyed the story nonetheless as did most of us.
When Harry Cohn, with whom I have relatives in common, died, comedian Red Skelton commented on his network TV show, "There was a big turnout at Harry Cohn's funeral which proved the show business saying true. 'Give the people what they want and they'll show up."'
Amazing that you're related to Harry Cohn! It is said that he died because of the controversy. Did you know Harry? About Harry's death, one of the few that lamented Harry's death was John Ford. He got along with Harry Cohn because Cohn greenlighted his 1935 comedy The Whole Town's Talking. He was making The Last Hoorah (1958) at Columbia when Cohn died. He was sad about it.
@@javiervalverde3399 Moe Howard of the 3 Stooges was also sad when Harry Cohn died. Harry Cohn liked the 3 Stooges and said as long he was alive the Stooges would have work at Columbia Studios. When Cohn died , Columbia dropped the Stooges and went into television production.
@@shawnmalone9711 Thank you for sharing. Interesting that Moe Howard liked Harry Cohn because he mistreated them so much. Wow! I never knew Columbia dropped them and put them on television after Harry's death
@@javiervalverde3399 It was all about the money. Sadly entertainers were not paid residuals for their old movies on TV prior to 1960. Columbia made a fortune as a new generation of kids discovered the Stooges on Television. Moe and Larry teamed up with Joe De Rita as " Curly Joe" made a few movies and were loved by a new generation of kids who loved their "old routines". Nyuk , nyuk , nyuk!
@@shawnmalone9711 Yes that is true that they were not paid residuals because of lobbying by the studios to the Screen Actors Guild. And actually, some actors after the 1960 decision were affected by this. All the cast of Gilligan's Island (1964) never got a dime of residuals. Dawn Wells, who died recently, said she never saw a dime of residuals. The creator, Sherwood Schwartz, did. He got $90 million in residuals. I think the cast was cheated out of the residuals even though they qualified to get them under the 1960 rule.
You actually ask why? A commentator on "The Damage Report" put it so succinctly - "Racism is such an integral part of American culture, that if you criticize racism, some people will say that you're criticizing America."
Actually it's not. It's in your young feeble mind. Racism was the past. If there is racism today it's AGAINST White people and you know that. Racism is not something just for Black people. Sorry, they don't OWN it. If you think people of color have it so bad here go move to another country you will see just how WRONG you are.
@@goodwilj There is no need to go to other countries to see how racist people are. That's obvious. However, we are just looking at racism relative to the U.S., if that is not too hard to comprehend. If it is, then you just might be part of the problem.
@@goodwilj look in the mirror and you'll see a racist upfront 😎
@@goodwilj you wouldnt last a month in Mexico , gringo . Take your own advice and LEAVE , snowflake
@@goodwilj try again. you are living under rock and are just whining that white privilege is slowly going away
I had no idea! A terrific story, thank you. Such a shame for them.
As much as I might know about Hollywood I never really heard about this love affair. Thinking more modern-day of course I'm pissed . The way Hollywood always acts like it has the moral high ground. After all its scandals. Although Sammy was performing in Vegas at the time he wasn't allowed in the casino. His pal Frank Sinatra put a stop to that bullshit .
@Baba Ganush Only for some Black entertainers. ...however the un-famous Black's still couldn't come in the casino.
Not for all Black's just, Sammy.
Yes Frank with a great pal to Sammy who was invited to JFK's Presidential inauguration and when JFK found out that he was Dating a white woman he was disinvited. This hurt Sammy for the rest of his life!This Story was brought Out by Frank Sinatra
@@akjones9909 Fact! ...and Frank still went. ...Dean didn't.
it was one of those open secrets like Johnny Mathis gay thing
Very well presented, true love is colour blind.
That is a shame that Davis and Novak couldn't explore their relationship out in the open. Racism is just stupid!! No one have a right to tell two adults that they can't date!! Just wrong!!!
Jim crow
Don't forget that's how things were in 1950'ies America, but we no longer live in 1950'ies America. Now things have changed. Btw. if you mix black people with white people, the end result, over generations, eventually is going to be white people - So there's no pretext for racism at all.
@@Thomgxx100 Are you stupid or what? The black gene is the dominant gene!
@@waybay5237 Not to skin pigmentation. It just so happens that my sister has to girls with a black dude, if my nieces are going to have children, their children are going to have even paler skin. Now they have brown eyes, unlike the blue of their mother - But through generations, being less than four, their offspring is going to be whiter and whiter !
Has a right LaChandra not have
She was class 'til the end. Their relationship was no one else's business.
In the '50s black men and white women under any and all circumstances had to maintain social distancing, and if you weren't, you'd better be wearing a mask.
@@MrRon1124 My comment was regarding why she never mentioned the nature of their relationship, not just in the 50's.
It's pretty much the same today, if one is on the Right. Today's "counter culture" is about enraging Blacks against Whites, in order to turn them against the Right.
She’s still alive ....🙂
She's still class at 88 years young ❤
I loved “Bell, Book and Candle" with Jimmy Stewart
Oh I’ve always loved her!! Apparently a lady with a mind of her own. Very brave of them both in the 50’s-at least in my neighborhood 😳
This sure was a secret. I just found out about this now after all these years.. Odd this video did not show a picture of Kim and Sammy together.. i guess the death threats would have scared me. I can't stand watching people having control over others. This is a sad American story.
F him and her!
My first born is named Kim. I named her after Kim Novak. Novak was classy person. I was impressed by her art as well as beauty
. I am so happy that happyppl
I am glad to hear that MS Novak and Sammy Davis Jr were once in love. I pray for the day when we white people can get over our racism.
Hard to think of a man more talented than Sammy Davis Jr.
Actor, dancer, comedy, singer, musician and celebrity imitator...and by all accounts, an affable and friendly man.
Truly one of the all time greats, may he RIP.
I admire her tenacity in following her heart and Mr Davis was a lucky man.
Considering the risk she took she must’ve felt pretty lucky herself
Tragic really they couldn’t just live their lives
Risk she took ???....
I don't know if I would consider him to lucky honestly. The bullshit he had to deal with.
Thanks for shedding light on this taboo relationship of two great American icons. Great research.
Thank you! 🙂
I'm not seeing a "fat" Novak..more like voluptuous and curvy..definitely not fat..she looked good IMO
@Baba Ganush there are pictures of her online when she was supposed to be "fat" and I still don't see it..she looked thick..healthy..and beautiful to me..I guess everybody's a critic
@@ShanecaRene her legs were that of a Chicago Bears linebacker ....you didn't want Kim kicking you
@@duke9555 I don't think I want anybody kicking me lol..she still looked good, thick and all 💯
@@ShanecaRene We're all critics when peeps be on the giant silver screen with PR people tellin us how terrific you look then it turns out you ain't all that & you're fat / they shot her at certain propitious angles ...she was in reality a 6.7 and a Hollywood 5.5 ..sorry
@@duke9555 but she wasn't even fat so it makes no sense to act like she was 300lbs just because she was 20lbs overweight..FOH with that BS would be my exact words to anyone putting extra dramatics on her size 😑 it's literally ridiculous smh
Kim Novak was 🔥 HOT 🔥!! In today's world Sammy Sammy, Would be the envy of a lot of men 2 the ❤ of a good looking woman like that
It was too bad they couldn't be together. How unfair.
Looking at these two pictures I forgot how young they were and I was even younger.
How sad!!!!!!! We are all made from the same cloth!
Damn, she's beautiful. She was always amazing. And Sammy was the man. And ppl onlooking were "full of crap"....and jealous of both of them.
It’s unfortunate that the amount of God given talent that this man was blessed with. He had to endure so much abuse.
Sammy was the most talented entertainer EVER.. Sad that the times were that bad.. The only entertainer today that is close to his talent would be Bruno Mars.. Who could do the Super Bowl Halftime show every year as far as I'm concerned.. I"m glad that Sinatra looked out for him.. I"ve been told there's no half way with Frank.. Your either all the way in or all the way out.. What a lot of people don"t know is Frank gave Quincy Jones his first big break. And he first started calling Quincy Q while making a movie together... True story..
You don't know the half of it! It was awful
Gene are you aware that Sammy was invited to JFK's inauguration party and when JFk heard Sammy was dating a white woman he was disinvited.
Frank Sinatra said that bothered Sammy all his life. Just Horrible.
Thanks for sharing, didn’t know that.
Ethnic prejudice is the stupidest thing ever. People have no more control over it than the town they were born in. I just shake my head seeing that at one point even ethnic Germans, Irish and Italians got vicious hate and abuse in our country. Humans are so messed up and appalling.
Kim Novak said on the day that she last saw Sammy Davis, Jr.,that the last thing that he had said to her was that he has always loved her. That she was his true love. Davis’ present wife was waiting outside the Davis’ hospital room. I guess she knew about Kim and Sammy.
The first film I ever saw Kim Novak in was Of Human Bondage with Laurence Harvey. Her portrayal of Ivy was sensual and a little unnerving, because she had Phillip(played by Harvey)wrapped around her finger.
Back in the days of Hollywood, the following can end an actor/actress’s career. Alcoholism, drug abuse and addiction, gay, lesbian or bisexual, lack of professionalism and romantic/sexual relationships with non-white people even if they are well known. The studio system placed everyone in Hollywood under a magnifying glass. Some were scrutinized more than others. In the case of Harry Cohn and other studio bosses, they felt that they are in power and they can end an actor’s Career with a word from them because they built them(actors) up and they can easily tear them apart without hesitation and a single thought.
Kim Novak was a very courageous woman who followed her heart and didn’t care what what anyone thought or said.
I feel so sorry for miss Novak. Tragic. And brave.
I love her. Named my daughter after her 💘
Sammy very talented. But crazy fool.in love . God bless them both
The voice of the commentary of this video reminds me of the late great Robin Leach.
Change the name Novav - which COHEN found to "ethnic" ? 😂
A true legend!
It was a shame!
“In the 1950s the Supreme Court ruled in favor of interracial marriage...” This, in a country that boasts high intelligence, high advancements, and superior humans. Huh!
No it was 1967 loving decision
What country are you talking about? There is and has never been a stereotype of Americans being of high intelligence 🤣
I'm on the fence when it comes to which angers me more: the bigotry at the foundation of this sad story, or the fact that most of the Hollywood studio bosses treated their actors like human cattle, which they believed they OWNED while they were under contract! Hopefully, Novak and Davis channeled their frustrations into their art!
Hollywood carried a immense power of bigotry, and sexism which we all saw with the Harvey Weinstein case.
@Baba Ganush I agree its been part of a secret fraternity since the creation of Hollywood
The bigotry!
According to Kim herself they were good friends. She loved him and his family, but again, she explained to the former host of Turner Classic Movies, Robert Osborne that because he was black their relationship could not possibly continue during those times. But marry??? No. I’ve met Sammy on several occasions and he was teeny tiny. I cannot see Kim marrying him for that reason alone!
Norman Kelley made a very valid point that it was not until 1967 that the USA passed laws about inter-racial marriage.
There is a big "however" in
those laws.
I may be speaking to the converted or the long standing people of tolerance but the following sentence sums it up.
Pass all the laws you like
but until you get the souls and minds of a nation to
live together peacefully
and with love in their hearts
towards all people regardless
of colour or creed all these laws are useless.
Four years of Trump has
shown us that.
We have a long and hard
way to go.
Very well put! Thank you

Hello Stevie
You need to check you're last sentence, to make sense it needs another word or two.
No one needs to say one word about any topic to demonstrate their attitude.
I've never heard anyone admit their a racist, rarely heard an alcoholic own up to the fact etc. "Actions speak louder than words and actions can be incited by a nod of approval or a facial expression to a mob.
@@peterfreeman1585 lookok I'll try.
After the war many laws were passed so no social up- heval came. Congress decided that it's better this way. (LOVING VS USA )
Sammy Davis endured prejudice at its worst in Hollywood. Speaks volumes to who he was that he stood against it. When he and the "rat pack" were booked in Vegas, the White stars stayed in the hotel to which they would appear. Sammy was relegated to the west side which was the "black" side. I am a "white" 70 yr old woman. I still feel embarrassed, shamed and sad by our history, but, I'll bet, the man, Sammy, would never ever agree to the burning, rioting and killing that is happening in our world today.
That was a big PROBLEM BACK THEN ! RACISM, I WOULDNT WANT ANY PART OF BOLLYWOOD, ALL THAT FAME HAS A PRICE, NO ONE WOULD TELL ME WHO TO BE WITH,
I adore Kim Novak.
Sammy Davis Jr. was so in debt & bankruptcy when he died; his then wife had to bear the burden & sell whatever she could to survive.
She is a lovely person who didn't see color just the person. She said they were friends. She never indicated they were anything more.
I knew Novak in 1960. I worked with her in "Strangers When We meet". She wasn't in love with Davis. There was no "fling". She was his friend and helped set him up with May Britt. All gossip.
Exactly.
+Ron Stash what was she like?
Great Story 🎙️🎼🎬🎥
Thank you! 🙂
Damn!!! Sammy was the man! Kim was fine!!!
"Cohen" thought that "Novak" was too ethnic?🤔 Well, I'll be a son of a......
The Supreme Court ruled on interracial marriage in 1967, not during the 1950s! (see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loving_v._Virginia).
That correct. But still change take a long time .even now
Listen again, he did say the year 1967. Pay more attention, please...
Awesome, story I had no idea that she was from Chicago and attended wright college, on a art scholarship. But, maybe they should have moved too Canada, Europe or Anywhere overseas!!! But , discreetly if they decided on a serious relationship!!! Before, anyone suspected!!! Awesome channel, new subcriber!!!
Love Don't Have No Color True Love Is The Only Love That Is Real Sammy Davis Jr. Loved Kim and Kim Loved Sammy its People that stand in the way of Love that Break Up True Love.
Kim novak said in an interview that she was involved with Sammy Davis as a friendship, not romantically, and that is what she refused to give up. It was NOT a romantic relationship

there had been other Interracial married in Hollywood like Davis and Britt there Rockne Tarkington and Joan Blackman and Ike Jones and Inger Stevens during that time
Corey Levine ~ Now that's a name I hadn't heard in literally decades (Inger Stevens) ! From what I can recall [off the top of my head] Seems like an interracial incident was involved in Inger’s death! Why is Hatred a blemish/mark/stain [calling card] of humanity ?
I gotta hand it to Kim Novak and Sammy Davis Jr. because it took a lot of courage for a Black man to date a White woman in the 50s and 60s and we'll before then.
I look at it this way and a lot of people will disagree with me when you love someone, I mean REALLY LOVE SOMEONE the color of their skin shouldn't matter as long as that other person feels the same about you.
I would do what’s in my ❤️ go with the man I love ❤️.
It really sad, sad love story😔
PREACH IT 👍💯❤️ LOVE IT...Screw what they say!!!
Difficult story. Hard times, and huge careers at stake. I’m not sure it was a real love affair: Kim said « I believe he was in love, yes »...
Sammy Davis was dogged by Cohen. In his book, he was beat up and threatened that if he didn’t marry “someone” black The poor lady he married, he treated horribly the entire time. Ultimately, he married someone that looked like Kim, Mae Britt. What a nightmare….
We at A"I Am Publications" like your video, keep up the good work!!!
Yes the story as presented is a sad commentary in any time and place. Speaking without knowing the man, Cohen was a personal ass. However, like him or not, the way he ran his studio, was the way it was. They did own you and Kim N. Knew that when she signed the line.
She wasn't the first or the last. Of course bigotry will eventually give you a heart attack. I understand Davis' actions to settle things down. That poor man was beat down a lot in those days. God bless him.
But his bestie FS and DM were VERY close to R. I wonder where these two were when all these threats were flying. Seems odd. Davis backed off- then later married May Britt( white fair blonde) He had the same racial issues then. But Britt was not an actress in US. The marriage didn't last. Both Kim and Sammy showed a lot of courage. I don't think that marriage would have lasted either. All through the years Kim was close to the "rat pack". I think she and Sammy were very kind people.
So sad that they couldn't be together 😢
Kim played in Picnic with William Holden. I ❤ this actor. Can you make a video on him please... I think he’s very underrated ❣
Of course! 🙂 Thank you!

Hey, Tony. You can't hide that great voice, any more than Sammy Davis could have Sad that haters and mobsters could threaten two people's lives like that, with no help even from supposed friend Sinatra or the law (Hoover, damn) at that time. I was a kid, but I decided that SD was the best of the best. Better than Sinatra, better than Martin, better than all the great male crooners and swooners. (Robeson was a whole other national shame and tragedy). What a voice! Didn't prefer the Vegas song stylings, but he had a voice for the ages, could sing anything.

Beautifully narrated with that great British accent! Cheers! Shalom to us only in Christ Yeshua.
Davis suffered untold persecution for his public relationships with white women - so did Jimi Hendrix - which caused him to be murdered. He didn't commit suicide . Buddy Miles said he was never hooked on drugs - they only helped him perform his recordings.
Watched an interview with Kim Novak and she stated that she never had a romance with Sammy Davis Jr. She said that they were the best of friends and would go out for lunch or dinner as friends. It was all gossip. Thats why she left Hollwood because of all the crap and lies about different stars.
Because of the bigotry and ignorance of the times! 😕😲😲
"Only in America"
nope. would be no different if white man dated a woman in nigeria. people are people ur the same

How sad for them
What a disgrace,racism is such an ugly and terrible thing,I cannot believe how bad it was, sadly you will probably never completely eradicate people who have this mentality ,thankfully these days it is not tolerated and hopefully one day will totally disappear ,we can all pray that this does occur ,personally I cannot comprehend such behaviour and never will.
Great video!! Forgot about Sammys sham marriage. In 71 my guy was black and we caught alot of grief when we went out for a drink etc. Now in 2021 we are still together! Guess we became stronger while under the duress. Still have a long way to go as far as racism is concerned.
Thank you Denise! 🙂
Bullies are bullies in any time period!! Hahaha!! What is it worth to the person to go forth? Blessings!! :)
I knew this story of their love affair, but i did not know that there was a threat by mobsters to harm Sammy. As much as i feel that Sammy and Kim should have been free to live their lives as they wanted to, i wouldnt have wanted Sammy to be harmed. Its very sad the way the world was back then, but the studios were more interested in making money and not having to deal with the public and their racist opinions. This most likely would not have happened in todays world.
Na, today the racists just storm the nation's capital and kill people.
@@Idcanymore510 sad but true. There a an interracial couple that live in the same apartment building I do. At best most refer to them as the "mixed" couple. A couple of jerks even talk about a couple of beautiful biracial kids. I will not repeat what they say but I do let my options on the matter be known. My wife even has relatives who will not go around my biracial great neices and nephews. Especially their parents. Shameful.
@@garylefevers It amazing how a race of people land themselves into a country or continent that's not theirs and then make up their own rules on race ...absolutely amazing ...and then play the Charlie Brown ....why is everybody always picking on me !!!
@@Idcanymore510 don't forget Portland and Seattle
I thoroughly enjoyed your video, thank you 🦋. Pity that people have to be so pig ignorant as Cohn. It was none of his concern who Kim or Sammy dated. I think they would have been a lovely couple. Kim was correct, Sammy was marvellous 🌟
Thank you Leslie! 🙂
Discrimination is such a old problem. How can decent people tolerate it?
Hi Age of Vintage, please please, could you put on your list the wonderful actor James Stewart, who entertained us all with his fabulous acting. Thankyou Love Ruth 💖💖💖🎬📽💚💜❤💋💋
Thank you for the suggestion! 🙂
@@AgeOfVintage Thankyou so much, that would be fabulous ❤❤💋💋🎬📽
Jimmy steward in"Winchester 73"CLASSIC.
@Michele Thomas Hi Michele, he certainly was a great actor, loved him in The Glenn Miller Story, & It's a Wonderful life. Cheers Ruth from Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺⚘
Hell, Cohn was piss off at Kim for giving Sammy some attention instead of him. That's everyday shit these guys get mad over some booty.
it's human nature not race.
**WOW** It Is So Sad That Two People Who Were "Deeply" And "So Much In Love" With Each Other, That Unlawful Actions Had To Take Place To Separate A Couple, Because Of Their Racial Difference!!
They Really Loved Each Other And They No Doubt, Never Found "The Love" They Had For One Another Anywhere Else.
@@bradentonguy50 STF UP!
actually there is only one race, but many different ethnics group so she did not fall in love with someone that was not of her race but more importantly out of her ethnic group. We are all Homo Sapiens not matter the colour of the skin.
I would have walked away from the career. I hate control.
This is a sad one.
Reminds me so much of when my mother in law told me of seeing a man at the store she worked for that she thought looked like Sammy Davis Jr. As she started to ask if he was actually the REAL Sammy... He interrupted and said "No I'm not him". Now this happened in a very small west Texas town. So, when she told me of this encounter, my first thought (and response) was, of course it was him. But being a black Jew in the south married to a white woman, of course he denied. He wasn't stupid. Don't know for sure, but.....
Sammy use to joke he had everything going against him. He was black, a Jew, married to a white woman and had a glass eyeball.

I think have read that Edie Murphy said that Sammy Davis JR. worshiped Satan !?
@@supersami7748 it wasn’t glass. It was plastic. He said so himself in his memoirs.
@@batman2292 ...True 💯👀🔥
Davis liked blondes; he married May Britt.
And Kim Bassinger dated Prince.
@@bradentonguy50 White women spend millions of dollars a year every year on security systems so that they can sleep at night without worrying about some chocolate stick climbing in through their bedroom window.
@@hendilman yhea right, there are more white women in the USA married to black men than black women to white men in the USA.
@@marcelsmith5772 Genius. White guys don't want black women.
Yhea. If they wanted them then they'd have them, LOL!
Oh please, Cohn wanted Novak for himself and was terribly offended that this skinny Black guy was able to have her.
Sorry to say it ....in many many ways it hasn't been much change
