Dean Martin
“Dino Crocetti” decided that Dean Martin was American enough to afford him a shot at fame and fortune. Few actors have possessed the phenomenal combination of an incredible singing voice, a gut-busting sense of humor, and fine acting skills that Martin enjoyed. It was in 1946 that Dean Martin took to the stage with his fellow comedian Jerry Lewis to being their long-running show, Martin & Lewis. After many successful nightclub shows, the hilarious duo broke into film, radio, and television.
