June 7: Happy Birthday Dean Martin

Posted By
Dean Martin (1917-1995, born Dino Paul Crocetti) dropped out of his Ohio high school at sixteen. He worked as a boxer, a bootlegger, and a blackjack dealer, before discovering he had some talent as a singer. In 1945, Martin met a young comic named Jerry Lewis, and the two developed a highly successful music and comedy act.
Martin and Lewis soon moved beyond nightclubs, to radio and early television, and in 1949 to film–they made their debut in supporting roles in My Friend Irma. In the next seven years, the duo starred together in over a dozen films, including At War with the ArmySailor BewareLiving it Up, and Artists and Models.












Martin ended his partnership with Lewis in 1956. He went on to a lot of success as an actor. He starred in Some Came Runningwith Frank Sinatra (their first film together), and was John Wayne’s drunken deputy in Rio Bravo. In 1960, he starred with Judy Holliday in Bells Are Ringing, and was a Golden Globe nominee for Who Was That Lady.
In the early sixties, Martin re-teamed with Sinatra for Rat Pack movies like Ocean’s 11 and Sergeants 3. Later in the sixties, he starred as secret agent Matt Helm in several spy movie spoofs, and made Westerns like The Sons of Katie Elder (with Wayne again) and Bandolero! In 1970, he was part of the huge cast of the box office smash Airport.
In 1965, Martin began starring on The Dean Martin Show on NBC. After a decade on the air, during which he won a Golden Globe for Best Male TV Star, Martin converted the series into The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast, which continued to air periodically through 1984.
Last but not least, Martin had a very successful singing career. While he was not as big a name in traditional pop as, say, Sinatra or Bing Crosby, he had a string of hits that stretches over three decades. His biggest hits included “That’s Amore,” “Memories Are Made of This,” “Return to Me,” and the song that became his signature tune.
