The death of Sammy Davis Jr. Tracey was just 59, and an official cause of death has not yet been determined. Tracey was best known for writing two books about her relationship with her late father, Sammy Davis Jr. The books detail her time with her father, but Tracey's mother, May Britt , is still more of a mystery. May Britt is a Swedish actress who eventually made the transition over to star in American films.

May married Sammy Davis Jr. The marriage was controversial at the time, in part because interracial marriage was still forbidden by law in 31 states. There was even a rumor that John F. Kennedy and Robert Kennedy had asked Frank Sinatra to tell Sammy to hold off on the wedding until after the election. Although that rumor is likely untrue, Tracey has confirmed that the marriage was the reason that Sammy was not allowed to perform at Kennedy's inauguration.

Tracey was Sammy and Britt's only biological child, but they also adopted two children, Mark and Jeff. May and Sammy divorced in after a rumored affair between Sammy and dancer Lola Falana.
