On this day – July 25,1946 – At Club 500 in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis stage their first show as a comedy team.

Dancers wear out their nylons even more quickly than secretaries or debutantes, say the girls. They are, from left to right: Cynthia Dalle, Eileen Lawrence, Barbara Nichols, Joan Durelle and Wendy Waldron (who got the job). (AP Photo)

The blond wig which Lewis is wearing started out on Pierre's head. Dean Martin, Lewis's acting partner, is the referee. "Second" in corner unidentified. Gorgeous Pierre, whose real name is Tamba, and Lewis became friends while working together in the film, "My Friend Irma Goes West", in which Martin also appears. (AP Photo/Paramount)

Movie comedians Dean Martin, left, and Jerry Lewis, assisted by actress Elaine Stewart, are collecting prints footprints in Hollywood, Sept. 24, 1951. As part of the clothing drive for American Relief for Korea, they are planning to immortalize 10 movie fans' footprints in cement outside the Gar-Ron noncommercial theater, built by Lewis to show 16-millimeter movies he produces. The footprints to be imbedded in the cement, before the theater's premier on October 1, will be chosen from among pairs sent to Jerry Lewis in Hollywood for the relief drive. (AP Photo)


In case you're not familiar with zombies (reanimated corpses, it says here,) that's one in the center. He's supposed to scare people, but Jerry Lewis, who was scared to the point of almost losing his life, has twisted his twistable face into a zombie-scaring shape. So the creep creeps against Dean Martin for protection. It's all part of a movie, "Scared Still," being made on March 26, 1953 in Hollywood, Calif. Zombi is unidentified. (AP Photo)
