Joe Pesci remembers his own honeymoon in Vegas — meeting the Rat Pack

“Ah, I don’t do interviews, really, Johnny,” he said, setting down the carefully mixed cocktail. “I am very bad at this, especially after a martini.”

The man who won an Academy Award for 1990's "Goodfellas" did say that: Johnny.

So I asked for just one tale. A first or favorite visit to Vegas, maybe? He paused and said, “OK.”

Pesci was just 21 when he met the Rat Pack. Two Rat Packers, actually.

“I was a young man, and it was the first time I got married. I’ve been married three times, but I’ll never forget my first trip as a young man, on my honeymoon, with my new wife,” Pesci says at the end of the celebrity pairings party at Milano Ballroom at Caesars Palace for the Breath of Life Celebrity Golf Classic. “We were both very young, it was very exciting. We got to meet Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra, and it was really very sweet.”

This was at the Sands, in 1964.

“I was 21, and my bride was 18 or 19,” said Pesci, now 69. “Sinatra, he didn’t say much. But Dean Martin had a great repartee with us. He called my wife Little Miss Polka Dots because she had a polka-dot dress on. So she fell in love with Dean Martin, like a lot of women did. It was a lot of fun, a lot of fun.”
