James Stewart as Tony Kirby in You Can’t Take It with You (1938)

Chris is a harasser?! And Ronnie disowned his brothers and his mother?? And Anthony stole care money from his mother!?which Jerry was paying??? Why was Chris trying to distance his brothers from their father? (I hope you will correct any incorrect information for me and explain more to me) If Jerry was a bad father, was Patty a bad mother? She did not deserve this treatment at the end of his life, and to see his children in this state, and I was sure that Jerry had his reasons, I mean, from a person who loved his family to a person who disowned them…! I truly feel disappointed… I don't blame him, what a farce this is

Years ago on Facebook, Anthony had a public argument with his brother Gary on photos on his profile. I think it was a photo of their mom or something. Gary accused Anthony of not caring about their mother Patti, and Anthony shot back about Gary not being there for Joseph. Anthony alluded to Chris molesting Joseph. Anthony ended up deleting the comments soon after, but not before fans saw the exchange. This was like in 2012.

Anthony wasn't allowed to see his mom after stealing the money meant for her care. Jerry had been paying the money, then found out what Anthony was doing, and stopped communicating with him. They had been pretty close, before that.

There was an unfinished documentary that Scott was making, that was posted on vimeo. I saved some of those videos. Scott confirms that Anthony isn't allowed to see his mom though it's never specified why, and Anthony goes to see her finally in a nursing home, in the documentary excerpt.

Chris probably was trying to keep the other brothers away, because it just made Jerry upset. That is speculation there though. I don't think that Jerry was aware of Chris having a dark side. Anthony called him Chris the devil, a few times on social media. However Anthony is an awful person himself, and we have feuded with each other on social media. (Somehow he still has me as a Facebook friend?) LOL He told me I was a little person who is best suited to work with shoes..... I work in the entertainment industry and teaching field, but ok. Lol This was after I told him that some info he was saying about Martin and Lewis films was incorrect, and he couldn't handle a polite reply. He's such a pompous ass.

Ronnie disowned his whole family (not sure about Patti), likely partially because of the drama. I had suspected that Ronnie was Jerry's biological son for yrs, and last yr Rick Sapphire (Jerry's former manager/publicist) said that Ronnie is his biological child and when he found out, disowned the family. I don't tend believe Rick Sapphire on very much. Jerry fired him for taking money from fans for autographs and other stuff. Some stuff out of his mouth is just flat out incorrect, and to me he seemed to have vendetta against Jerry, after they fell out. He does currently represent Gary Lewis as his manager. I do believe that Ronnie is Jerry's biological son though. He always had the same dimpled chin. It's clear that the mother of Ronnie had blonde hair. Much like Dean Paul Martin Jr, had blonde hair and looked totally like Jeanne Martin rather than Dean at all.

I just don't know what Patti did for Anthony to treat her like that. He stopped speaking to her for years after Jerry and Patti's divorce too, and took Jerry's side only. She wasn't invited to his wedding, and didn't see her grandchildren for years. He helped her sue Jerry for proceeds from The Nutty Professor remake later, when they had made up. I guess Jerry forgave him after that, because they were close again in the 00's. He still seems very opportunistic.

Hello! Sorry about the intrusion but do you still have the "Der Clown" doc lying around?

Sorry, I'm probably replying late, but yes I do. I probably have to re-upload it or see if all the parts are still up. They get taken down fast.

Happy Birthday Jerome Joseph Levitch (Jerry Lewis)!!!! (March 16, 1926 - ∞)

“You’ve got to have a wonderful day every day that you’re here, because the moments of our lives are so painfully few, when you think about it.”      - Jerry Lewis

Dean Martin surprises partner Jerry Lewis for his 27th birthday while producer Hal Wallis and director George Marshall join in on the fun, 1953.

Happy Birthday, Jerry Lewis!

“We have enough reality around us. I think when you go to the cinema it’s time to be taken inside of something that isn’t quite as realistic.” - Jerry Lewis

This story never sits well with me. Probably Dean was still bitter after Eddie and him feuded that one time when Dean refused to appear on his show after Eddie told him he was not going to get free stuff for appearing. Jerry appeared on Eddie's show for free, and Dean was whining that Jerry was trying to make him look like a heel. I love Dean, and Eddie was a jerk to his wives and kids, but this was very rude of him to heckle Eddie during this performance. The man was clearly struggling through some stuff. I'm glad Jerry was trying to support him and be nice. It was supposed to be Eddie's night, and they just embarrassed and wrecked him.

On a positive note, I'm glad Dean and Jerry were sitting back to back. 😀

The night The Rat Pack humiliated Eddie Fischer

I found a 1961 Photoplay Magazine article about the unfortunate, HUGE episode, of the Rat Pack interrupting Eddie Fisher's performance at Cocoanut Grove in 1961. On this occasion there was also a very brief reunion of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis witnessed as you know from a video. I'm just sharing some screeshots and the link to the full article which is quite long. The highlights in my opinion are: The Rat Pack entering making silence around them. They were powerful and they knew it. Sinatra referred to as "The Leader", Dean Martin "The Admiral" and the other three ONLY "LOYAL FOLLOWERS". In practice whoever wrote the article the Rat Pack consisted only of Sinatra and Martin. NO ONE but Jerry and George Jessel defend Eddie Fisher. Not even Milton Berle has the courage to say anything. EVERYONE WAS AFRAID OF SINATRA AND DEAN MARTIN. Everyone EXCEPT Jerry who most of all should have kept quiet. Instead he actually stands up, AND NOTICE HE WAS SITTING BEHIND DEAN SO CLOSE TO HIM, and tries to defend Eddie while also getting the approving applause from the audience.

OUTSIDER. Either he was totally crazy to challenge Sinatra (who loved Jerry but we all know how cruel he could get when he felt humiliated in some way and Sinatra could represent together with Sammy one of the points of contact with Dean) or there is something very strange.. . He was one of the very few WHO DIDN'T FEAR THE RAT PACK WHICH WAS VERY POWERFUL AT THAT TIME, more powerful than Jerry himself (who was alone).

Whatttt??? Can you also post the magazine cover and date to confirm the time?

From the Official Paramount Picture Magazine: Did Dean and Jerry go bowling together in 1960?? @starryyide @jerrylevitch

I'm sharing this video again because it's one of Dean Martin's interpretations that I really like. He's not smiling, doesn't "feel" smiling while he singing, he seems to be putting her heart into it. I assume it's 1968/1969… if anyone knows exactly please let me know.

And now Jerry. Airdates: 4/1/69. Here it is extraordinarily beautiful and vulnerable. Both performances are poignant and practically sung around the same time. Video credit @jerrylevitch. I wanted to cut out the entire introduction.

And then there's this moment. Bottom lip slightly bitten like that as if they were both trying hard not to cry. From this period their black decade began. From which Jerry recovered but Dean did not. What the hell happened in the late 60s to these two men that tore them apart, maybe, for real? It hurts to see them like this. @starryyide @felinesetmilktea @fredandginger64
