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]
