The King of Comedy
That name was given to Jerry Lewis early in his career. First he teemed up with fabulous Dean Martin, the crooner , tv persona, movie star and so much more. Than came the bitter brake up, and USA was in tears for long time, after all they lost one of the best comedy teams of the century.
Lewis remained at Paramount and became a major comedy star with his first film as a solo comic.
When i really started to learn about Dean, i didn't like Jerry. I always thought that was the one who broke the team. Then i read his book, i saw his interviews and live footage from Martin and Lewis time. The seconds i finished reading his book, i understood how much he loves Dean Martin. And i mean, you can see it in his eyes, when he looked at Dean perform or when Frank reunited Martin and Lewis at Telethon. So when ever i see or hear Jerry talk about Dean, it's like to hear a little brother who is so proud of his oldest brother. And some times i think how and what would have happend if they staid together? But then, like Dean said: "...the best thing that has happened to me is when i met Jerry! And the second best is when i left Jerry."
So why am i writing this? Well a couple of weeks ago i wrought a letter to Jerry where i said that Martin and Lewis helped me threw my parents divorce and that i just love Jerry's movies. etc. Well, i never thought that i would get an answer! But i did. He send a signed picture of Martin and Lewis.
So this is kind of big for me, u know? jerry has been a big influens on me and i thank him for just being Jerry!
By the way, next i will have an interview about my blog and Dean passion : ) Wish me luck ; )
