On a night in the 1980s, a mid group of actors finished up dinner at Los Angeles' then hotspot, Spago. "I think we were literally getting up out of our seats and Liza Minnelli went, 'Let's go to Sammy's," remembers Rob Lowe.
"So, we follow Liza Minnelli to Sammy Davis Jr.'s house. Who's not going to do that?" A new documentary, Brats, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and is now streaming on Hulu, looks back at the moment Hollywood embraced youth culture and a bunch of young talents who would be christened "The Brat Pack" by a magazine article.
