The ultimate triple threat

A gifted singer, actor, and dancer, Sammy David Jr. began his career aged just three years old (!) when he joined his father on the vaudeville circuit in the late 1920s. Following military service, he returned to the 'biz in 1945, where he began his career as a recording artist, and in 1951 he became an overnight sensation after a performance and an Oscars afterparty. From then on, Sammy went on to become a huge success, with stints on Broadway, movies and television shows coming his way. His genius, wit, and myriad talents cemented his status, and even now, some 30 years after his death, he is still regularly cited as one of the greatest entertainers of all time.
