The man after whom my parents named me was born Dino Crocetti in Steubenville, Ohio on June 7, 1917. He moved to California in 1937 and teamed up with the 20-year-old comedian Jerry Lewis in 1946. Their first film together, "My Friend Irma," came out in 1949. After their 16th film, "Hollywood Or Bust," Martin & Lewis broke up in 1956.
Dean Martin's long string of '50s and '60s pop hits included "That's Amore," "Memories Are Made Of This," "Innamorata," "Return To Me," "Volare," "Everybody Loves Somebody," "The Door Is Still Open To My Heart," "Houston," "I Will," and "In the Chapel in the Moonlight." From 1965-74, he hosted his own TV variety show. Dean Martin died on Christmas Day 1995, at age 78. RIP, Dino! :beer:  |
