I made the beautiful mistake of watching Max Rose this morning, I will now spend the rest of my day (and perhaps life) in tears.

Jerry , I could almost feel you sitting next to me while I cried watching this film. I know you put a lot of your heart in this movie , I can see it and feel it. If they could package the way I feel about you Jerome, they’d make millions of dollars.

I love you Jerry 🤍

[naturalbornworldshakers]

Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis were introduced on a New York street in March of 1945. Dean was born Dino Paul Crocetti in Steubenville, Ohio, on June 7, 1917. Jerry was born Jerome Levitch in Newark, New Jersey, on March 16, 1926. At the time, Dean was a semi-successful singer, performing around the East Coast in nightclubs and on his own radio show. Jerry was eking out a living doing a "record act," where he would mime to records by famous singers, all the while mugging it up outrageously. Jerry thought Dean was "conceited, snooty and stand-offish," Dean thought Jerry was "a young wise guy." Despite these initial opinions, the two soon became friends. Jerry wrote the genesis of the Martin and Lewis act on the wrapper of his pastrami sandwich as showtime premiere grew nearer. Jerry had had an idea in the back of his mind for several months. He called it "sex and slapstick." His idea was to pair up a handsome, confident man with, as he put it, "a monkey." And the rest is history... RIP Jerry Lewis
