a lot of 5 Danish programs from Dean Martin was an actor and singer from the 1940s to the 1980s. He was a member of the Rat Pack with Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., and Peter Lawford. He was partnered with Jerry Lewis in live performances and in a series of memorable movies until they had a very publicized break-up, after which each had long solo careers. Some of his roles included Rio Bravo, The Young Lions, and Some Came Running AND Jerry Lewis was born Joseph Levitch in Newark New Jersey in 1926. He began performing at an early age. His father was an entertainer and M.C. who performed as Danny Lewis, and his son used the stage name Joey Lewis at first, but changed it to Jerry to avoid confusion with either Joe E. Lewis or boxer Joe Louis. In the late 1940s, he met singer Dean Martin, and Dean served as his "straight man", and they performed in night clubs and TV, and in a string of incredibly successful movies. But as Jerry became more and more the focus of the act Dean became increasingly dissatisfied, and the two broke up in 1956. Jerry continued making movies (writing, directing, and starring in most of them), and many feel many of his solo movies were superior to the ones he made with Dean. Perhaps his best was The Nutty Professor in 1963, where he played a mild mannered professor who turns into Buddy Love, in a wacky parody of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. In 1965, Jerry injured his back while performing and became addicted to Percodan, and he battled this addiction for at least a decade. In 1966, Jerry started his annual Muscular Dystrophy Telethon on TV, which raises millions of dollars every year. In 1976, Dean appeared on the Telethon, and even though they had made some minor appearances together in the past decade, this was widely touted as the first reconciliation of the legendary comedy team. In 1981, Jerry attempted a comeback with Hardly Working, and although the movie made some money, his style of humor (which basically made fun of mentally and physically handicapped people) had fallen out of favor, and mercifully it was the only such movie Jerry made. He switched to dramatic roles, and in 1983 he took the Johnny Carson-like role in Martin Scorsese's The King of Comedy, and was great. He also was memorable as Eli Sternberg in an arc of the cult favorite TV show, Wiseguy. Jerry has had numerous health, legal and foot-in-mouth difficulties in recent years, but he continues to host the MDA Telethon every year, and he has outlived longtime co-host Ed McMahon, who passed away in 2009 before the telethon. There is an urban legend that "the French" love Jerry Lewis. I traveled to France twice, and both times I asked numerous people about this, and they all had no idea what I was talking about. Perhaps it started because some French critics in the 1960s praised Lewis as an "auteur" at a time when some American critics were calling his movies "lowbrow"! Note that the items in this lot are from the 1950s. We do not provide a list of these items, but there are images of all of them.
