he lost it in a car accident

in 1954, Davis was in a near-fatal car crash on his way to a Los Angeles recording session. He lost his left eye. Amazingly, he was back on stage within weeks, making jokes about his new eye patch (later he got a glass eye).

His glass eye doctor was Dr Fredrick Lewis. Who was also my Dad's Dr. My Dad's eye was poked out by a fellow school student when my Dad was 10 years old. The eyes where so good no one ever picked that the eye was glass.

What does e o mean in the song sung by Sammy Davis Jr in Oceans Eleven?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Eee O Eleven is actually Yee O Eleven a reference the the table game craps. Dealers will add a name or accent to a number since the tables can get loud and numbers confused. The numbers Seven and Eleven can make or break your game but are often confused. Dealers help clear things up by saying Yo-leven or Eleven Yo Yo. The song references that as eleven is always a winner either in a the field or the pass line and when a point is on, a seven is a losing roll. So the song talks about the money and things he would have with the roll of Yee O Eleven. The producers found that this was appropriate considering the movie takes place in Las Vegas, a town famous for gambling.

Who paid for the Funeral of Sammy Davis Jr?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Celebrities make large sums of money, and Whitney Houston was no exception. If the tabloid rumors about her needing dentures were true, she would have easily been able to pay for dentures herself; her business manager would have handled the transaction and made sure whatever dentist she saw was compensated for the dental work (it is the job of the business manager to pay the celebrity's bills).
