2. Sammy Davis Jr.
The Rat Pack is one of the most celebrated groups of entertainers in the history of the world. Made up ofFrank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Peter Lawford, Joey Bishop, and Sammy, the team appeared in films and on stages for years. Despite the fact that Sinatra was clearly the Pack’s biggest star and many saw Dean Martin as its most charming, it was their lone minority member, Sammy, who is often remembered as the most likable. An active participant in the civil rights movement, he was one of the many who marched on Washington, he refused to perform in segregated clubs (which is credited with changing Vegas and Miami) and married a white woman when it was still forbidden in 31 states.
On the other end of the spectrum, the man is said to have been a member of the Church of Satan for several years and unlike Jayne, this time, the tales appear to be true. Even going so far as to release an album called Satan Swings, Baby, where he even performed a duet with the church’s founder which is just crazy. Not enough for you? Well, how about the fact that he starred in a television project called Poor Devilwhich was intended to become a series, where he would attempt to convince a new character to sell their soul every week.
