[rollei_list] Re: Sammy Davis, Jr. and his Rollei

I saw this book in the window of our local bookstore. It is a locally owned and operated store.
The book's cover does indeed look like a self-portrait. I should have thought to post a message about the book.

Our local rag had a feature review yesterday of "Photo by Sammy Davis, Jr." 
Text by Burt Boyar,
Regan Books, $49.50.
Apparently he started documenting his life/entertainer environment early with 
a Brownie. Later on
Jerry Lewis gave him a Rollei TLR. A couple of pix from the book were
included: Robert Kennedy, Judy
Garland, and what seems to be a self-portrait showing Sammy with the Rollei 
(finger on the release,
L-R reversed,) and Jerry.

He was also well into Hasselblad and even had a Tele-Tessar f/8 - 500 mm.
