For The Record...

Sammy Davis Jr. DID have a glass eye.

It was real and it was spectacular.

What got me is the tag "ANOTHER GLASS EYE POST." With bated breath I await more posts fitting this label.

I actually knew about him but I am another one who thought Sandy Duncan had one, as well.

Sorry, I'm still coming to terms about Sandy. You know, not having a glass eye. I was told she did. Now I guess I can't believe anything anyone says anymore...

I read Sammy's autobiography "I Can," about 20 years ago. It was very interesting. He related the horrifying story of how he lost his eye, in an auto accident. So yeah, I knew about it.

yeah, but did HE eat Triscuits "one right after another"??

No, Sandy ate Wheat Thins. Not Triscuits.

My favourite SDJ anecdote, okay the only SDJ anecdote I remember is hearing that he was stopped by a cop speeding and when the officer asked him if he knew he was way over the speed limit he said: I've got one good eye, you want me to keep it on the road or on the speedometer?
