Jerry Lewis Wiki Biography

Jerry Lewis, real name Joseph Levitch, was born to parents of Russian-Jewish descent on 16 March 1926, in Newark, New Jersey, USA.  Although Jerry was initially known for working in a comedy duo along with Dean Martin, his partner for a decade, Lewis was also an actor, singer, film producer, screenwriter and film director. Jerry passed away in 2017.

So just how how rich was  Jerry Lewis? Sources estimate that Jerry had a net worth of $50 million, which he has managed to save during his multi-talented career in the entertainment industry, which spanned spanned over 70 years.

It is certainly true that Jerry inherited his talent from his father Daniel Levitch, known as Danny Lewis, a famous actor and performer in his own right. Rae Lewis was Jerry`s mom,  a piano player for New York City radio station WOR, and Danny`s music director, too. Jerry Lewis started performing at a early age: he was five years old when he sang “Brother, Can You Spare a Dime” in Borscht Bet, New York`s nightclub in the Catskill Mountains. When Jerry was 15 years old, he left high school and decided to seek a career in performing. A comedy routine called Record Act was founded,  which focused on miming and mouthing the lyrics of various well known songs. However, at first it did not go well, and Jerry was forced to think of something new to attract the audience, but it did start to build Jerry Lewis’ net worth.

He met his future comedy partner Dean Martin in 1945 when Dean was known as a singer. They started working together and developing a comedy project, showing up at nightclubs, including eventually the famous Copacabana in New York City. The duo was very successful, as within a couple of years the partners earnings rose from less that $200 per week to $30,000 at the Copacabana, which obviously added considerably to Jerry Lewis’ net worth. They went on to appear in almost 20 films together, with Jerry developing slapstick to Martin’s straight character.

After splitting from Martin in 1956, Jerry Lewis launched a solo career including singing, releasing single “Rock-a-Bye Your Baby with a Dixie Melody” and “It all Depends on You”, as well as an album entitled “Jerry Lewis Just Sings”. Although these were successful, Jerry was more interested in films, and was soon producing and directing, as well as acting, including introducing new techniques the most important of which became video assist. Popular films over a period of more than 15 years included “The Delicate Delinquent”, “Rock-A-Bye Baby”, “The Geisha Boy”, “Cinderfella”, “The Bellboy”, and “The Nutty Professor” among almost 50, several of which he directed, produced and/or wrote, remaining active and popular to his last appearance in “Max Rose” in 2016.

Of interest is that Jerry Lewis taught a film directing class at the University of Southern California  in Los Angeles for a number of years, where his students included future famous directors Steven Spielberg and George Lucas.

What is also significant is that Jerry Lewis received many awards, to mention just a few: BAFTA (1983), Goldene Kamera Honorary Award (2005), and Ellis Island Medal of Honor (2011), the French Chevalier, Ordre national de la Légion d’honneur,  and American Comedy Awards Lifetime Achievement Award, among many others.

Jerry Lewis further increased his net worth with incomes from publishing a few books, too: The Total Film-Maker (1971), Jerry Lewis: In Person (1982), and Dean & Me (A Love Story) published in 2005 along with James Kaplan.

In his personal life, Lewis was married to Patti Palmer from 1944 to 1982, during this time the couple welcomed six sons, one of them being adopted. Later, Lewis married SanDee Pitnick in 1983 and they adopted a daughter. Despite a number of health concerns, including heart attacks, Jerry has been a long-time supporter of the Muscular Dystrophy Association, including hosting an annual telethon. Jerry died of natural causes on 20 August 2017 at his home in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Jerry Lewis Quotes

  • [on the 1996 remake of The Nutty Professor] I have such respect for Eddie, but I should not have done it. What I did was perfect the first time around and all you’re going to do is diminish that perfection by letting someone else do it.
  • My dad used to say if you don’t get nervous, you don’t care. When I hear that first applause, my heart spreads across my chest, and I’m as happy as a pig in s..t!
  • [on Stan Laurel] His magic was, he loved the regular man. He loved plain people, and he loved being one of them. He enjoyed participating in the art of going out into the world and getting in trouble.
  • Every man’s dream is to be able to sink into the arms of a woman without falling into her hands.
  • The doc told me I had a dual personality, then he lays an $82 bill on me. So I give him forty-one bucks and say ‘Get the other forty-one bucks from the other guy’.
  • I get paid for what most kids get punished for.
  • Actors will kill for you if you treat then like human beings. You have to let them know you want them and need them, pay them what they want, but don’t overpay them; treat them kindly. Give an actress a clean dress and see that she gets fresh coffee in the morning and other little spoon feedings. She will kill for you.
  • The kids who’re on American Idol (2002), they’re all McDonald’s wipeouts.
  • I’m a multi-faceted, talented, wealthy, internationally famous genius. I have an IQ of 190 — that’s supposed to be a genius. People don’t like that. My answer to all my critics is simple: I like me. I like what I’ve become. I’m proud of what I’ve achieved, and I don’t really believe I’ve scratched the surface yet.
  • [2000] I don’t like any female comedians. Seeing a woman in comedy sets me back a bit . . . I think of her as a producing machine that brings babies into the world.
  • I shall pass through this world but once. Any good, therefore, that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again!
  • Other comedy teams never generated anything like the hysteria that [Dean Martin] and I did, and that was because we had that X factor–the powerful feeling between us. And it really was an X factor, a kind of mystery.
  • Going unnoticed has never been my strong suit.
  • I think I really wanted to write my biography more to be able to mention that [John F. Kennedy] and I were friends than anything else.
  • [looking back on more than 60 years in show business] I was about as discreet as a … bull taking a piss in your living room.

Jerry Lewis Important Facts

  • Had Ralph Helfer, the owner and trainer of Zamba the African Lion, thrown off the set of The Ladies Man (1961) and barred from working at the studio for six months because he got up into his face and yelled at him because he found out that Jerry had a gun.
  • Jerry was so scared of working with Zamba, the African lion, that he had gun in his pocket for protection when they were in the movie The Ladies Man (1961).
  • After 21 years in semi-retirement (following the release of Funny Bones (1995)), he made his big screen return with two 2016 theatrical releases: The Trust (2016) and Max Rose (2013).
  • Suffered a heart attack while filming Cinderfella (1960).
  • Treated for pneumonia and a damaged heart in 2006.
  • During the late 1950s Jerry Lewis’ stint on his NBC Burbank color television network series, his studio 2 dressing room was located in the lower basement level of the stage 2 facility. Incidental, this stage originally had been built for the MGM swimming film star Esther Williams; the stage was built with a swimming pool (pit with camera ports). NBC’s Studio 2 was adjacent to Studio 4 with both studios sharing a common central corridor. Studio 2 and Studio 4 television show’s guest performer’s dressing rooms were located on each side of the studio’s common center corridor. The each studio’s much larger “star dressing rooms” were located in the basement of each stage. During a break between the rehearsal and taping of Jerry Lewis’ comedy television series, Jerry Lewis (age 32) decided to practice his golf swing in his dressing room. Driving the golf balls into the wall-board soundproof walls, the golf ball divot indentations made Jerry’s dressing room walls look like Al Capone had cut loose with a Thompson sub-machine gun. Upon completion of the show, the next day, NBC facilities had to replace the dressing room walls and redecorate Jerry Lewis’ star dressing room. NBC’s generous price paid for a network’s featured star’s boredom and for a pricey spoiled entertainer.

  • Was one of the co-hosts of what may have been the only Academy Awards ceremony that actually ended earlier than expected, by almost twenty minutes – The 31st Annual Academy Awards (1959). He and several other celebrities gallantly tried everything they could to improvise and fill the extra time. NBC mercifully cut the broadcast short to air a short film about target shooting until the next scheduled program began, which in most cases was the local news.
  • He was elected into the 2008 New Jersey Hall of Fame for his services to Arts and Entertainment and charity.
  • His idol is Al Jolson.

  • He and Dean Martin recorded a radio spot endorsing a product,”Tuck Tape”, an alternative brand of “Scotch Tape” and noticing the recording tape for the commercial was still rolling, decided to improvise additional radio spots, with Jerry slipping profanities into his dialog. The unedited master recording was surreptitiously taken from the studio and made into a “bootleg” record that sold briskly among collectors.
  • Is portrayed by Sean Hayes in Martin and Lewis (2002)
  • Collapsed at a London show in September 2002.
  • Society of Operating Cameramen, (SOC) Honorary Member(1981) Lewis was honored for his contribution and development the first “Video Assist” for the motion picture camera in 1966. This allowed him to view his performance while directing himself in his films. This is used extensively today in filmmaking, known as “Video Village.”
  • Pronounced clinically dead from a massive heart attack in December 1982, after completing The King of Comedy (1982) with Robert De Niro.
  • Diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis in 2001.
  • Was offered the role of Jerry/Daphne in Some Like It Hot (1959), directed by his friend Billy Wilder. He declined because he didn’t want to dress in drag. The part, of course, eventually went to Jack Lemmon and he received an Oscar nomination for his performance. Lewis says that Lemmon would send him chocolates every year to thank him and he now regrets not taking the role.
  • Was close friends with comic Lenny Bruce.
  • Was best friends with Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh. They starred in Lewis’ home movies after Curtis complained about the parts he was being offered by his studio.
  • Some have said that if Lewis hadn’t pursued a career in show business, he would have been a professional baseball player for the Dodgers. He played with the team a few times at charity events and was apparently very good.
  • Says his favorite Martin & Lewis film is The Stooge (1951) because “…it came closest to capturing what Dean and I had as a team”.
  • Norman Lear (creator of All in the Family (1971)) co-wrote many of Martin & Lewis’ The Colgate Comedy Hour (1950) shows.
  • Encouraged Christopher Walken to act. Walken met Lewis while he was on The Colgate Comedy Hour (1950) and Lewis suggested to the young boy that he pursue a career in show business.
  • Contrary to belief, the 1976 MDA telethon was not the first reconciliation of the legendary comedy team. They appeared spontaneously on ABC’s The Joey Bishop Show (1961) and then ran off through the audience. In 1960, four years after they split, they briefly reunited. Both were performing their own separate acts at the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas, a club they frequently played while they were together. Lewis caught Martin’s closing act and Martin introduced his former partner to the audience, bringing him on stage. For about 15 minutes they joked a bit and sang a duet of “Come Back to Me”. Unfortunately, the reunion was only a one-time thing. Later when Lewis was too exhausted to perform his act, Martin generously replaced him.
  • Claims to have never seen Hollywood or Bust (1956), the last film he made with his partner, Dean Martin, saying it’s much too painful for him to watch.
  • Besides Dean Martin, Lewis says the closest friend he ever had was Sammy Davis Jr. Davis would call Lewis in tears at times because of the racial slurs people would say to him about his relationship with Swedish actress May Britt.
  • Although critics usually referred to him as “the little guy” throughout his career, Lewis was around the same height or slightly taller than Dean Martin (Dean was around 5’11” and Jerry was 6′). To try to make himself look more diminutive next to his partner, Lewis frequently hunched and also shaved a few inches off the heels of his shoes and added them to Martin’s.
  • On March 20, 1965, suffered a serious back injury while performing at the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas, resulting in chronic pain. He became addicted to the prescription painkiller Percodan, but says he has been off the medication since 1978. He now uses an implant device that dulls nerve impulses and can be controlled by a hand-held remote control.
  • His recording “Jerry Lewis Just Sings” (American Decca: 1956) was a best-seller, securing a place in the Top 20 on the Billboard Album Charts, launching a Top 10 single and a recording career. Biographer Arthur Marx once likened his singing to “the croaking of a parched parrot”; however, it is believed that this referred only to the singing voice of his many comic characters.
  • Came upon his long-time theme song, “Rock-a-Bye Your Baby (With a Dixie Melody),” by accident. In 1956 he had to cover for an indisposed Judy Garland at a performance in Las Vegas, which included singing several of her songs. His performance of “Rock-a-Bye Your Baby,” using Garland’s arrangement, went over so well with the audience that Lewis has used it as his theme song ever since.He had a #10 hit recording with the song in 1957 and launched a recording career.

  • His film class students included Steven Spielberg and George Lucas.
  • Was teamed up with Dean Martin from 1946-1956.

  • 13 October 2003 – Entered a Las Vegas hospital to kick steroids used in the treatment of his pulmonary fibrosis.
  • Starred with Dean Martin on NBC Radio’s “The Martin and Lewis Show” (1949-1953). They first appeared together in the films My Friend Irma (1949) and My Friend Irma Goes West (1950). The Martin & Lewis comedy team were one of a series of rotating hosts of TV’s The Colgate Comedy Hour (1950).
  • The character Prof. John Frink in The Simpsons (1989) is based on his role of Prof. Kelp in The Nutty Professor (1963). He also did the voice of Prof. John Frink Sr. in “he Simpsons” episode “Treehouse of Horror XIV”, segment “Finkenstein”. Also, some of Krusty the Clown’s off-stage antics are based on him.
  • In 1969 Lewis announced an ambitious project of franchising a chain of Jerry Lewis Cinemas. A firm believer in family entertainment, he said that the one inviolate rule of the chain would be that nothing other than family-oriented films would be shown. The theaters were to be state-of-the-art, easy to operate and franchised to individuals who could meet the chain’s investment requirements. However, a combination of changing tastes in popular entertainment and management problems caused the project to collapse within just a few years. Several lawsuits between Lewis and his associates were settled out of court.
  • Children with Patti Lewis: Gary Lewis (b. 1945), Ronald (b. 1949), Scott (b. 1956), Christopher (b. 1957), Anthony (b. 1959)and Joseph (b. 1964). With SanDee Pitrick a daughter Danielle (b. 1992).
  • Suffers from diabetes and pulmonary fibrosis.
  • He was a big fan of ‘The Catcher in the Rye’ and strongly identified with the main character Holden Caulfield. He planned to direct a movie version but failed to acquire the rights from the book’s famously reclusive author J.D. Salinger.
  • In Italy, Lewis has been given the nickname ‘Picchiatello’ (which means something like “nut” or “crazy”). At least three of his movies use the word in their Italian title: You’re Never Too Young (1955) which became “Il Nipote Picchiatello” (“The Crazy Nephew”), Hardly Working (1980) (“Bentornato Picchiatello”, or “Welcome Back Crazy”) and Cracking Up (1983)(“Qua La Mano Picchiatello”. pr “Shake My Hand, Crazy”).
  • Says there is no gap between comedy and tragedy.
  • Wrote 10 scripts in 10 years.
  • First filmmaker to develop and use video-assist device on location.
  • Nominated for Nobel Prize for his 50 years raising money to fight muscular dystrophy.
  • He and Dean Martin were the world’s top box-office earners from 1950-1956. Lewis, on his own, also ruled as #1 movie draw in 1957, 1959, and 1961 to 1964!
  • Oldest son Gary Lewis and his soft-rock group Gary Lewis & The Playboys had several pop hits in the 1960s, including “This Diamond Ring”. At the height of his recording career Gary and Jerry appeared together on NBC TV’s Hullabaloo (1965).

  • He taught a class in film at the University of California.
  • He was presented the French Legion of Honor in 1984 and was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1977.

  • Underwent surgery for prostate cancer in 1992.
  • Had open heart surgery in 1983.
  • Born at 12:15 pm EST.
  • Claims he was thrown out of high school for punching out his principal who had offended him with an anti-Semitic remark, and then went directly into vaudeville. An episode of Seinfeld (1989) makes use of plot point based on Lewis’ (alleged) real-life stratagem of secretly leaving an audiotape recorder running in a briefcase he intentionally leaves behind him in meetings to see what some people may be saying about him.
