Sammy Davis Jr. reveals the 9 most evil actors of Hollywood's golden age, the men he watched up close from film sets to nightclubs to the Las Vegas Strip. For sixty years, Sammy Davis Jr. was the happiest man in show business. But he saw Hollywood from the bottom of the room.

"I got one eye," he told the FBI, "and that one eye sees a lot of things that my brain tells me I shouldn't talk about." In this video: a Hollywood legend who set a seventeen-year-old girl on fire for a scene and kept the shot. Robin Hood on trial. A gangster's best friend. An Oscar winner and his bride of three weeks.
