(re Sammy Davis) " He came to me," recalls Jerry Lewis—born Jerry Levitch, and himself Jewish—"and said, 'I’m going to turn Jewish.’ I said, 'You don’t have enough problems already?’"

, what really surprised me about Sammy was that he converted to Judaism. Now it was hard enough in those days to be Black and then become a Jew. There is an old joke about Sammy Davis and this is how it goes, "One day Sammy got on a bus in Alabama, the bus driver told Sammy, "Hey Blackee, go to the back, now!" but Sammy turned around and said, "But I am also Jewish!", then the bus driver said, "Then get off!"
