Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis
I never was a fan of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, either as duo or otherwise.
I do, however, find this photo to be quite interesting. I just wonder if it's real.
The photo is real, taken at the El Mirador hotel in Palm Springs in 1952. I used the photo in my blog in a post about Palm Springs on Palm Sunday, and a reader referred doubters to this blog post that gives details about this photo and several others taken at the same time: https://brianferrarinyc.com/2021/04/13/dean-martin-jerry-lewis-let-it-all-hang-out/
I've seen this and others in the set before. The last people I would want to see au natural! I liked Martin post Lewis, but never Jerry Lewis in any incarnation!
Pat, couldn't agree more. While working as a flight attendant in the mid-70s, I had the displeasure of having Lewis on a flight from LAX-MIA. He was an absolute asshole.
I can imagine! I did corporate for British Airways and we had a brief encounter with Debbie Reynolds, who was absolutely miserable to deal with. The joke was "still not over Liz and Eddie?" Lol.
I saw this on another blog, and wondered if it were real. I cannot picture either of them allowing this to occur.
ReplyDeleteMe either.
DeleteI seriously doubt it's real.
ReplyDeleteHopefully, a viewer with photoshop detecting software will chime in soon.
DeleteDean Martin supposedly once said, “You're not drunk if you can lie on the floor without holding on" and for once I can believe that.
ReplyDeleteI read that Mr. Martin's alcohol abuse was mostly a sham and just part of his act until his son Dean Paul was killed in a plane crash in 1987.

So it is for real. Thanks, Larry!

ReplyDeleteAs I said, I never cared for either of them.

ReplyDeleteYou confirm my suspicions.
DeleteHe is/was more popular in France that in USA, that says a lot...
