It was said that Harry Cohn put more people in the cemetery than all the other moguls combined. He ran Columbia Pictures as if it were a family business, and in a way it was, because he had wrangled control from his brother Jack, who was back on the East Coast in New York. By the mid-1930s, Cohn had nurtured Columbia from a low-rent, B-movie studio on Hollywood’s “Poverty Row,” a block off Sunset, into a major Hollywood film studio.


Cohn wanted to be known as the toughest, meanest mogul in Hollywood. He brandished a riding crop and slashed it across his desk to terrify employees. He kept a framed photograph of his hero, Benito Mussolini, on his massive desk and had his office decorated to look like Il Duce’s. The reporter James Bacon, fresh out of Chicago, was assigned to cover Hollywood for the Associated Press back in 1948. “I went from covering Al Capone to covering Harry Cohn,” Bacon recalls. “Cohn was by far the meanest. He’d keep tabs on all the writers. He used to fire people all the time—usually on Christmas Eve.”

A different account
One day in early January 1958, at Hollywood Park, Cohen buttonholed Davis Sr. and said, “Listen. I got some terrible news for you. I just got a call from Chicago to hurt Sammy.” Davis Sr. panicked. “I tell you what, there’s one chance,” Cohen told him. “I’ll give him 24 hours. Sammy has to get married—to a colored girl.”

Silber was with Davis at the Sands Hotel when the phone call came. “Harry Cohn was tied in very closely with the Mob at that time, the western part of the Mob,” says Silber. “When Cohn found out about Kim and Sammy, he put a contract out—not to kill him, really, but to break both his legs and to put out his other eye.”

at’s where Giancana was known to order killings along with his linguine—he was allegedly responsible for the deaths of more than 200 men. Davis asked for “the doctor,” a reference to “Dr. Goldberg,” Giancana’s code name whenever he was in Las Vegas “dating” the singer Phyllis McGuire. “Giancana says, ‘We can protect you here in Chicago, or when you’re in Vegas, but we can’t do anything about Hollywood,’” Silber remembers. “‘Don’t go back home unless you straighten things out with Harry Cohn.’”
It was really touch and go, Silber recalls. “It was damned scary. Sammy and I were into the fast draw with guns, but it was playacting. For the first time in my life I started putting real bullets in. Sammy, too, because we didn’t know who was in the next suite.”
Silber sat on his bed polishing his shoes in the suite they shared at the Sands Hotel. He watched as Davis, looking seignorial in his white terry-cloth robe, riffled through his address book. “Sammy, what are you doing?” Silber asked.



“I’m looking for someone to marry. I got the call this morning. I have to marry a black chick, and I’m looking for someone to marry.”
The name he picked was Loray White, who happened to be performing at the Silver Slipper. She was a singer, an attractive young woman originally from Houston, a member of the black bourgeoisie. In 1956 she had had a small part in Cecil B. DeMille’s overwrought epic The Ten Commandments, and she had danced on Broadway. Sy Marsh remembers her as “a beautiful woman, bright, articulate, very well spoken.” At 23, she had already been married twice and had a six-year-old daughter. Davis gave her a call, and she went over to his suite.
Silber recalls, “He sat her down—he was sitting in a chair and I was sitting on the bed—and he made her a proposition, to marry him for a certain sum of money. She would have all the rights that Mrs. Sammy Davis Jr. would have, but at the end of the year they would dissolve the marriage. She agreed to that, and that’s what took the heat off.”

Loray Davis ended up in a big, rented house in the Hollywood Hills. The good news was that she had become Mrs. Sammy Davis Jr. The bad news was that he wasn’t there. She was left alone with 20 pairs of shoes, a mink stole, and a dazzling ring. Arthur Silber remembers that White used to call him up in tears, complaining that Davis was “supposed to be married to her but was still running around with Kim.” Whatever career advantage she thought she might have gained from marrying Davis never materialized. Six months later he paid her $25,000 to divorce him, but it would take him three years to extricate himself from the marriage.

breh when those allegations dropped I told my peoples there’s no way 1960s-70s Cosby was getting away with even a hint of an allegation and could make it to the Fat Albert + Cosby Show era unscathed.

Dude was working the comedy circuit back in the day and those mob gatekeepers had to allow him to hit up those Vegas resorts and Hollywood venues to perform his routines. He was no different from Sammy, Harry Belafonte and Sidney Poitier in the fact that he had a leash and wasn’t having free reign.

The only breh wilding out and PAWGing was Quincy Jones and maybe he was getting a pass because he gave Sinatra that stimulus to give his career a second life. The mob ate off of Sinatra so much that was whatever. And I just don’t think Quincy would fold like a little guy like Sammy.

But to think Cosby was the most prolific rapist in Hollywood in the 60s-70s and being black is insane. Sam Cooke was 1000x the start Cosby was back in the day and still got clapped in murky circumstance so Cosby wasn’t getting a pass.

The narrative shifting on Cosby is wild, he might not be shyt for bringing that damn casting couch to Black actresses but he was for sure not known for raping or wilding like that like Quincy was or Richard

Studio Boss helps "create" Kim Novak. Finds out she's sleeping with Sammy Davis and then calls in gangster Mickey Cohen to resolve it. Sammy use to hide in the car so they wouldnt be seen in public. Once that threat came in he paid an ex 25K to get married
