DAVIS RITES EXPECTED TO DRAW 6,000 FANS

The family of Sammy Davis Jr. has shared him with his fans for more than 60 years and the day of his funeral will be no different.

The late entertainer's final tribute today will come at a memorial service that is open to the public, and more than 6,000 Davis fans are expected to fill the 1,200-seat Hall of Liberty at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in the Hollywood Hills. - Associated Press
