Dean Martin the 'Olympic Diver' a Photo Shoot for 'Life' Magazine 1958
By Larry Barbier Jr.
(I have to dedicate this DM posting to two very good friends of mine, DMP and Danny G. I greatly appreciate there support and friendship, the very best to you both!)
Dean Paul Martin (born Dino Paul Crocetti; June 7, 1917 – December 25, 1995) was an American singer, actor, comedian, and film producer.
One of the most popular and enduring American entertainers of the mid-20th century, Martin was nicknamed the "King of Cool" for his seemingly effortless charisma and self-assurance. He and Jerry Lewis were partners in the immensely popular comedy team "Martin and Lewis". He was a member of the "Rat Pack" and a star in concert stage/nightclubs, recordings, motion pictures, and television. He was the host of the television variety program The Dean Martin Show (1965–1974) and The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast (1974–1985).
Martin's relaxed, warbling crooning voice earned him dozens of hit singles including his signature songs "Memories Are Made of This", "That's Amore", "Everybody Loves Somebody", "You're Nobody till Somebody Loves You", "Sway", "Volare", and "Ain't That a Kick in the Head?".
Martin, a heavy smoker, was diagnosed with lung cancer at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in September 1993, and in early 1995 retired from public life. He died of acute respiratory failure resulting from emphysema at his Beverly Hills home on December 25, 1995, Christmas Day at age 78. The lights of the Las Vegas Strip were dimmed in his honor. Martin is interred at the Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in Los Angeles. His crypt features the epitaph "Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime", the name of his signature song.

Hey pal, Scotty...you left me speechless, man! Great pic of our guy Dean & GREATLY appreciates the dedication to DMP & myself! You DEF I NATE LY bring some extra coolness to the blog my friend! Grazie!
I'll bet that our Dino learned to dive like that by diving from the Steubenville-Weirton cliffs lining the Ohio River.
I recently came across this DM picture and did a double take and smile, if i did not know any better i would think Dean was an olympic swimmer as well as a first class entertainer. I look forward to the next DM discovery!
Thank you DMP and Danny G. as always for the kind words and support.
Have a great week everyone.
Scott
