A Father-Daughter Relationship
Sammy Davis Jr. dated beautiful women and got married three times. But unfortunately, he didn’t have the best luck when it came to women. He had one daughter, but his relationships with the ladies in his life always seemed to be strained. He was so absorbed with his career, and his family came second.

His daughter, Tracy Davis, opened up about her dad. She revealed that Sammy was so focused on work, that he was an absent-minded father. After missing her fifth birthday, he tried to give her $100 to make up for it. He also didn’t show up to her college graduation and would often lose her phone number. She explained, “I am not saying that he didn’t love us. But work was his driving force.”
