2. Sammy Davis Jr.

One of the true musical geniuses of our time, Sammy Davis Jr. was not only a fun-loving and charismatic person, he also was under constant assault due to his race, religious beliefs, and appearance. On the night of his wedding to Loray White, he attempted to commit suicide when he put a gun to his head. The gun was wrestled from his hand in time and it was later discovered that he was secretly in love with a different actress, Kim Novak, but because of the interracial aspect, threats against him were too great and he couldn’t bear the thought of not being with her.
