Humphrey Bogart was the one. In an interview, Davis reported,"e asked me, “How long you gonna trade on that goddamn patch? How long are you gonna keep using it for a crutch? You want people calling you Sammy Davis or ’the kid with the eye patch’?” Well, you know, I’d had myself figured with a glamorous trademark, but what Bogart said kept on bugging me—especially knowing he was right—until one night in Vegas I took it off and threw the goddamn thing away. I don’t need no pity, and I got nothing to hide." http://www.alex-haley.com/alex_haley_sammy_davis_jr_interview.htm Dec 20 10, 3:00 PM
