This photo reminds me of the movie "That's my boy". Jerry is really very serious next to his father, he almost looks submissive to him. And Jerry's dad looks at Dean. Dean with that casual way of his. Who knows what he thought of him... who knows if he liked him, if he considered him better than his son, more handsome, intelligent, capable. Maybe...

Do you remember Dean Martin or Jerry Lewis? If you are of the "Boomer" generation, these men were huge hits in your childhood. And throughout his life, Jerry Lewis was a comedy King in France.

Jerry was born Joseph Levitch (https://www.ancientfaces.com/person/jerry-lewis-birth-1926-death-2017/192700700) to Jewish immigrant parents in Newark New Jersey, and Dean was born Dino Paul Crocetti (https://www.ancientfaces.com/person/dean-martin-birth-1917-death-1995/192700701) in Steubenville Ohio to an Italian Immigrant father and a mother of Italian heritage. Only in America could two such diverse men from widely different backgrounds come together and create a wildly successful career.

[ad_1] On this day in history, Aug. 20, 2017, 91-year-old Jerry Lewis died of natural causes at his home in Las Vegas, Nevada.One of the most well-known American comedians of the 1950s, '60s and well beyond, Lewis was born as either Jerome or Joseph Levitch in Newark, New Jersey in 1926, according to various sources.The comedian and actor rose to stardom partly due to his early mimicking talents, which ultimately led to a successful career all over the world.ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY, AUGUST 19, 1909, INDIANAPOLIS MOTOR SPEEDWAY'S INAUGURAL RACE TAKES OFF Lewis was born into an entertainment family. His father, known as Danny Lewis, was a musical arranger, while his mother, Rachel, played piano. He started performing at age five. When he was just 12 years old, he began miming music that he heard. The unique talent led him to drop out of high school to perform, according to Britannica. Born into an entertainment family, Lewis originally rose to stardom for his mimicking act, which ultimately led him to perform in New York City nightclubs. He famously paired up with singer and actor Dean Martin for years. (Getty Images)Upon his arrival in New York City, Lewis met singer and actor Dean Martin in 1946.Martin "would provide the songs and be straight man to Lewis [the] manic comic," noted The Los Angeles Times. The two soon became a popular team.ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY, JULY 27, 1940, BUGS BUNNY DEBUTS IN ANIMATED FILM ‘A WILD HARE’The duo successfully performed in theaters, including the famous New York City Copacabana nightclub, and ultimately signed a deal with Paramount Pictures, as IMDb reported."They were hits on radio, on TV, especially as hosts of the NBC’s ‘The Colgate Comedy Hour,’ in live appearances and in a series of comedy features for Paramount Pictures, including ‘The Caddy and ’The Stooge,'" The LA Times also said. Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis were a dynamic duo in the 1950s and '60s, known for their comedic performances.

He went on to become writer and director of his own films. Lewis was responsible for some of the greatest slapstick gags in history, including those in "The Nutty Professor," "The Bellboy," "The Errand Boy," "Cinderfella" and "The Ladies Man," according to multiple sources.In Europe, he was named Best Director of the Year eight times beginning in 1960.

Jerry Lewis went on enjoy a successful solo career after splitting with singer and actor Dean Martin. (Getty Images)One of his most notable efforts, however, had nothing to do with comedy or acting. Rather, it was that charity for which he became well-associated. MDA is a voluntary health organization in the United States for people living with muscular dystrophy or neuromuscular diseases such as ALS, according to the group. Lewis made it his mission to raise money for, and awareness of, muscular dystrophy. Lewis was its national chair for over five decades.

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 🤍
