Press release: While the world has long known of Davis' unparalleled abilities to sing, dance and act, only his closest friends and associates knew of his amazing talent and passion for photography. Now, in this collection of never-before-seen photos, Burt Boyar, Davis' longtime friend, exposes these memorable images for generations of his fans, portraying a side of Davis that has long remained a secret to the world at large. Here are Davis' candid shots including his closest friends - Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Momroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Jerry Lewis, Dean Martin, Sean Connery and Paul Newman - not to mention scores of 20th Centuey's biggest stars captured at their most casual and revealing moments. Accompanying these unforgettable images are Boyar's intimate rememberances of Davis, as he gives a history and a context for many of Davis' striking photographs. Together with the photos, Boyar's words offer a side of the performer far removed from his Rat Pack persona - one that is at once touching and fascinating.
