Описание: Pamela Sherrod, a Christian author, screenwriter, and producer, shares the story of how she unintentionally stumbled into the center of one of Hollywoods longest and most vicious legal battles and played a vital role in the historic outcome of the Sammy Davis Jr. Estate. When Sammy Davis Jr. died in 1990, after losing his fight with throat cancer, another war soon erupted, one which threatened to dismantle his legacy and the future of his estate. The $5 million debt that hed left his widow, Altovise, represented just one chapter in a tumultuous story that was filled with unfathomable glamour, multiple scandals and the treachery that accompanied the greed of their associates. In 2005, when Sherrod partnered with Altovise Davis to create inspirational and educational family films, she was introduced to the dark side of the entertainment industry. Sammys embattled estate teetered between the control of his wife - whose life was wracked by alcoholism - and the two men who were determined to seize it. The tragedies that followed would challenge, not only Sherrods faith in God, but the very essence of the work that shed begun. In this eye-witness account, Sherrod presents stunning revelations and testimonies about the famous couples life - including friends such as Bill Cosby and Elizabeth Taylor - as she documents, not only the final outcome of the Davis estate, but the tragic and triumphant events that preceded it. Its more than just a story about Hollywood, the betrayal of friends, the theft of screenplays, the abandonment of allies and other horrific things that take place there, says Sherrod. Its Sammy and Altovises story, but its also my story as a Christian writer. I was pulled into the Sammy Davis Jr. saga, although it wasnt my intention, and (for better or worse) it made a lasting impression on my life. In many ways, Im the last little Indian, trying to finish the work that Sammy urged Altovise to do, and the work that Id committed myself to do.
