I remember reading Shirley Jone’s autobiography, and she detailed how she and her then husband -Jack Cassidy - would attend numerous parties at the home of Sammy Davis Jr., and how he had cocaine all lined up for his guests when they arrived. Hollywood is a depraved, evil place.
Dangerous too. I was young, going out with a nice dentist (my mother approved). He came over one day to announce that we had been invited to a big star -studded party in the Hollywood Hills by his barber — a barber-to-the-stars, or “internationally known hair stylist.”
I felt like I’d been kicked in the stomach. My immediate reaction was an explosive, from the gut, NO! So we didn’t go.
His barber was Jay Sebring, who was killed that night, along with Sharon Tate and others by the Manson gang.
Funny how grace can sometimes come as a kick in the gut.
