«Why Me?» is the autobiography of Sammy Davis Jr. written with Jane and Burt Boyar, published by Farrar Straus and Giroux in hardcover (384 pages, in English).
Sammy Davis Jr. reviews his rise to fame and its price: drugs, alcohol, failed marriages, illness and tax debts. He recalls his friendship with Sinatra, the Rat Pack, the Kennedys and Nixon, and describes the experience of being a Black artist in the US, from performing in hotels that refused him accommodation to sleeping in the White House.
Published in 1989, it is Sammy Davis Jr.'s second autobiography, after the bestseller Yes, I Can.
For those interested in biographies and show-business memoirs, the Rat Pack and the social history of the United States.
