Just a reminder of the craziness an IR can cause....
From an Australian news paper 1961:
Sammy and May received bomb threats after May’s pregnancy was announced, and there was much media commentary regarding the baby’s future. From as far away as Australia, the Sydney Morning Herald reported on 19th March, 1961:
“Some time next August a baby of mixed parentage will be born. His parents will be a Negro father, entertainer Sammy Davis Junior, and a white blonde mother, former film star May Britt Davis. In the United States, where the integration problem is reaching boiling point, the baby’s birth will probably have tremendous social significance. But Davis said, “I don’t care whether our kids are black, white or polka-dot just so long as they call me daddy.” May said, “We’ll love them and protect them and hope for their happiness as we hope for our own.”
