Me and Deano is gonna get
turnt A.F. tonight!”
Jerry Lewis –
Actor, comedian, telethon man.
March 16, 1926 – August 20, 2017.
Aged 91 years.
Most recognized for: Marlboros & Jerry Lewis… the two US exports that the French just can’t get enough of. While revered as a misunderstood genius in France, most Americans saw him as a goofy, slapstick joker who only managed to get serious over Labor Day weekend to collect money for crippled children. Noble, but annoying…. especially if you didn’t have cable in the days of only 4 TV channels.
