If people want to think I get drunk and stay out all night, let 'em. That's how I got here, you know.

I've got seven kids. The three words you hear most around my house are "Hello", "Goodbye" and "I'm pregnant".

[to critics who complained that he joked his way through songs during concert and nightclub appearances] You wanna hear it straight, buy the album.

[upon filing for divorce from his second wife] I know it's the gentlemanly thing to let the wife file. But, then, everybody knows I'm no gentleman.

I drink because my body craves, needs alcohol. I don't drink, my body's a drunk.

[on Joey Bishop] Most people think of [him] as just a replacement for Johnny Carson. That's NOT true. We in show business know better: we don't think of him at ALL.

[on Phyllis Diller] Phyllis is the woman of about whom Pablo Picasso once said, "Somebody throw a drop cloth over that."

[on Frank Sinatra] In high school, Frank never participated in extra-curricular activities, like nature study, paintings or ceramics. Frank's hobby was a most interesting one: he was an amateur gynecologist.

[on James Stewart] There's a statue of Jimmy Stewart in the Hollywood Wax Museum, and the statue talks better than he does.

[on Orson Welles] What can you say about Orson Welles that Don Rickles hasn't already said about him?!

[on Bob Hope] As a young boy, Bob didn't have much to say. He couldn't afford writers then.

[on Don Rickles] Don's idea of a fun evening is to show home movies of the attack on Pearl Harbor...with a laugh track.

[on Johnny Carson] Johnny Carson is a comedian who is seen every night in millions of bedrooms all over America...and that's why his last wife left him.

[on Milton Berle] Milton Berle is an inspiration to every young person that wants to get into show business. Hard work, perseverance, and discipline: all the things you need . . . when you have no talent.

[on his teetotaling friend Pat Boone] I once shook hands with Pat Boone, and my whole right side sobered up!

I can't stand an actor or actress who tells me acting is hard work. It's easy work. Anyone who says it isn't never had to stand on his feet all day dealing blackjack.

Motivation is a lotta crap.

[on The Sons of Katie Elder (1965)] Someone else, would have laid around, feeling sorry for himself, for a year. But Duke, he just doesn't know, how to be sick . . . he's recuperating the hard way. He's two loud speaking guys in one. Me, when people see me, they sometimes say, "Oh, there goes Perry Como." But there's only one John Wayne, and nobody makes any mistakes about that.

[on Shirley MacLaine] Shirley, I love her, but her oars aren't touching the water these days.

[on Eddie Fisher] The reason I drink is because, when I'm sober, I think I'm Eddie Fisher.

[on Frank Sinatra] When he dies, they're giving his zipper to the Smithsonian.

[on Jerry Lewis] At some point he said to himself, "I'm extraordinary, like Jerry Lewis." From then on, nobody could tell him anything. He knew it all.

[in 1964, upon introducing The Rolling Stones on ABC 's The Hollywood Palace (1964)] I've been rolled when I was stoned.

The whole world is drunk and we're just the cocktail of the moment. Someday soon, the world will wake up, down two aspirin with a glass of tomato juice, and wonder what the hell all the fuss was all about.

[on Bette Davis] Bette made Warner Bros. what it is today, broke.

[Introducing Caitlyn Jenner at the 1979 celebrity roast of Joe Namath] What a man. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Bruce Jenner.

You're not drunk if you can lie on the floor without holding on.

If you drink don't drive. Don't even putt.

I'd hate to be a teetotaler. Imagine getting up in the morning and knowing that's as good as you're going to feel all day.

I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day.

AI's Take on ilovedinomartin

 

Hey pallies, likes we were Dino-inspired to simple but the tag of our Dino-waterin' hole into AI serch mode, and likes below is what was swankly shared via artificial intellegence.  We gotta 'fess up that likes we were beau-ti-fully blown 'way by some of the "Key Features of the Blog"....includin' awesomely accentin' our bestest of best Dino-pallie Danny G.'s weekly musical salute to our most beloved Dino, Danny G.'s Sunday Serenade.  Also it brought the biggest of big Dino-buddha grins to our face that AI also marvelously mentioned how we've dipped our Dino-toes into "how modern artificial intelligence handles Dino-devotion."

 We Remain,

Yours in Dino-rapture and keepin' the Dino-light glowin' Dino-bright!

Here is the really remarkably relevant reflections that AI supremely stated.  Likes hopes all youse Dino-philes enjoys pallies!!!!!  Likes at the end of this Dino-gram, we simply must share a few Dino-vids  to illustriously illustrate and incredibly illuminate  AI's deep pure and true Dino-observations. 

Always and Ever Yours In The Deepest of Deep Dino-devotion,  

Dino Martin Peters

 Dean Martin’s transformation in the 1970s marked a fascinating shift where his carefully crafted "King of Cool" stage persona completely bled into his actual personal life.  While he spent the 1950s and the 1960s as the ultimate mid-century tuxedo-clad traditionalist, the culturally turbulent 1970s saw a looser hyper-modernized, and decidedly single Dean Martin embrace the contemporary era. [1, 2, 3]

Here is how that unique transformation unfolded across his fashion, style, and relationships.

Embracing the "Mod" Aesthetic

As the 1970s took hold, Martin consciously shed the rigid, tailored look of the Rat Pack era. [1, 2]

• The Wardrobe: He traded classic black-tie tuxedos for high-fashion "mod" staples. He became famous for wearing silk ascots, unbuttoned wide-collar shirts, leisure suits, and vivid pastel turtlenecks—often styled by Hollywood's elite designers. [1]
• The Hair: Abandoning his signature retro pompadour, he grew his hair significantly longer. It was styled into a shaggier, layered look that featured prominent, full sideburns to match the evolving style of a younger Hollywood generation. [1]

The Breakdown of Domestic Stability

For nearly 24 years, Martin’s personal life was deeply anchored by his second wife, Jeanne Biegger, who provided a stable, family-oriented home that completely contrasted with his public playboy image. However, by the dawn of the decade, that stability fractured: [1, 2]

• The 1972 Divorce: The emotional gap between Dean and Jeanne widened as his late-night habits and professional life caught up with him. Jeanne filed for divorce in 1972, officially ending their long marriage in 1973. [1, 2]
• The Reality Shift: This high-profile split completely removed his real-life domestic anchor. It forced him into the dating pool at an older age, effectively turning his "carefree bachelor" stage routine into his daily reality. [1, 2, 3]

Surrounding Himself with Younger Women

Once single, Martin’s social circle heavily reflected the youth culture of the 1970s.

• The Golddiggers: On The Dean Martin Show, he was constantly flanked by "The Golddiggers," a rotating troupe of young, glamorous, micro-skirt-wearing dancers who kept his image strictly tied to the youth aesthetic of the era.
• Catherine Hawn: In 1973, a 56-year-old Martin married his third wife, Catherine Hawn, a 26-year-old receptionist. While the relationship was brief (ending in divorce by 1976), it cemented his transitional phase of running in younger social circles. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

A Professional Pivot

This lifestyle shift directly coincided with changes in his career format. In 1974, his long-running variety program shifted into The Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts. This new forum allowed him to sit back, loosen his tie, and play the ultimate elder statesman of comedy while still surrounding himself with the newest, hippest stars of the decade. [1, 2]

Ultimately, his 1970s transformation was a survival mechanism for his image. Rather than fading away as an outdated relic of the 1950s, Martin adapted just enough modern flair to remain effortlessly cool to a completely new generation of fans. [1, 2, 3]

If you would like to explore this era further, let me know if you want to look into the musical style of his 1970s albums, his relationship with the younger Hollywood crowd, or specific memorable moments from his Celebrity Roasts. [1]
