Television and Video: The late Sammy Davis Jr. still has it, babe. Davis’ daughter, Tracey,is said to have recently signed a multiyear deal with Four Point Entertainment to develop a batch of projects based on the entertainer and his life that would include a network television special, home video releases and even an interactive CD-ROM production. The projects had been on hold pending the resolution of an Internal Revenue Service problem stemming from a $5-million debt Davis owed the federal government when he died in 1990. An IRS spokesman confirmed that the dispute has been resolved. The programs are expected to include footage and exclusive clips from Davis’ personal archives. Four Point is best known for the hit syndicated television program “American Gladiators.”
