Newark, N. J., the future star was, like his idol, Charlie Chaplin, born into a show- business family. Lewis’s father was a Catskills entertainer; his mother, a pianist. Lewis rated his first applause at 5. By the time he was a teenager, he had a full- fledged act, pantomiming his way through the popular songs of the day. In 1. 94. 6, Lewis, then 2.
Atlantic City club when another act on the bill canceled. For a replacement, Lewis suggested a singer. His name: Dean Martin.
Onstage, Martin exuded slickness; Lewis acted like a monkey boy. Together they were were a hit. For a time, Martin and Lewis, as they were billed, were everywhere — TV, records, radio, and the movies.
The duo cranked out 1. After a red- hot decade together, the relationship cooled. Lewis became bent on becoming an auteur like Chaplin; Martin balked at being bossed around by the budding multihyphenate.“I like the co- star but not the director, writer, and producer,” Martin sniped at the time.

We loved one another more than any two men ever loved one another in their lives — period,” Lewis told the Toronto Sun. Per conventional wisdom of the day, Lewis was the star of Martin and Lewis. And just as the pundits expected, Lewis was an immediate smash on his own, starring in and producing the 1. The Delicate Delinquent.
The movie’s opening sequence was classic Lewis, depicting a 3. He’s 9 years old. He’s forever,” Lewis once said of his movie persona. As silly as it all looked, Lewis was dead serious about the work. He wrote, he produced, he directed — film after film after film, from The Bellboy to The Ladies Man to The Errand Boy. Behind the scenes, he was credited with improvising a video- playback machine to monitor his performances — a now- standard procedure on the movie set.
Then, in 1. 96. 3, his signature movie.“Every director in the history of cinema prays for the one work,” Lewis recalled for the Kansas City Star. And I’ve had mine — The Nutty Professor. That’s the one.”The tale of a hapless academic (read: a Jerry Lewis type), who upon gulping a magic potion turns into suave ladies’ man (read: a Dean Martin type), The Nutty Professor was embraced by audiences and critics alike. The New York Times called it “less of a showcase for a clown than the revelation (and not for the first time) of a superb actor.”After Lewis’s peak, a long, long valley followed. A much- hyped 1. 96. He was dropped by his longtime movie studio, and by 1. A back injury fueled a long addiction to prescription painkillers.
Martin, meanwhile, began to look like the tortoise to Lewis’s hare. After a slow, post- split start, things perked up. He spent the 1. 96. Rat Pack, selling records and starring in movies. Martin was cool; Lewis was not. By the late 1. 96.
Lewis was so uncool that fan Woody Allen couldn’t convince his backers to let the older comic direct him in his first starring vehicle. In Lewis fashion, Allen wound up directing himself in Take the Money and Run.)For a time, Lewis wasn’t even the most famous member of his own family: Eldest son Gary Lewis briefly eclipsed his father with the 1. Gary Lewis and the Playboys (“This Diamond Ring”). None of this escaped the notice of Martin, who gloated in 1. You know, when Jerry Lewis and I broke up, he said I wouldn’t last two years in show business.”By the 1.
Lewis was known almost exclusively for his annual MDA telethon. He made just two films during the decade; only one was released. The one that wasn’t released — or finished — was The Day the Clown Cried.
It was supposed to be for Lewis what Life Is Beautiful was for Roberto Benigni in the 1. Nazi concentration camp. Benigni won Oscars for his movie.
Lewis, who played a German clown leading Jewish children into a crematorium, got nothing but notoriety. After the film’s financing fell through, a legal dispute kept what Lewis had shot — and paid for with his own money — on the shelf. Bootleg copies of the script have circulated for years. Lewis even screened a rough cut for a chosen few. In both cases, reviews were not kind.“This movie is so drastically wrong, its pathos and its comedy are so wildly misplaced, that you could not, in your fantasy of what it might be like, improve on what it really is,” eyewitness Harry Shearer (The Simpsons, This Is Spinal Tap) once remarked. Lewis confessed to Entertainment Weekly that only one copy exists, and he had no intention to disclose its secret whereabouts. In 2. 01. 6, 3. 0 minutes of footage were leaked online.
In 1. 98. 2, Lewis revived his career for a time with a profane, but all- business performance as a Johnny Carson- like talk- show host in Scorsese’s stalker comedy The King of Comedy. The work generated Academy Awards buzz, but, in the end, not a nomination. Awards- crazy Hollywood was not, and never had been, crazy for Lewis. He never earned an Oscar nomination. He never won a competitive Emmy. While comics are routinely seated at the kids’ table during awards season, the snubbing of Lewis continued even into his elder- statesman years.
There were no lifetime- achievement tributes from the American Film Institute, the Kennedy Center Honors, or the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. The French, meanwhile, were mocked for routinely heaping honors upon him. Only after Lewis entered his 8.
Hollywood love finally, if somewhat- reluctantly come his way. In a 2. 00. 5 Los Angeles Times piece that stumped for an Academy tribute for Lewis, writer David Weddle suggested that Lewis’s reputation as a “tantrum- throwing egomaniac” might have hurt his stock with the Hollywood community. Certainly, Lewis won no admirers for his history of comments against women who work in comedy (“I don’t like any female comedians”), women who work in any professional field (“I think of [a woman] as a producing machine that brings babies in the world.”), and the very people his telethon was designed to help (“You don’t want to be pitied because you’re a cripple in a wheelchair? Stay in your house.”). In 2. 00. 9, Lewis was the recipient of the Academy’s Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award for his decades of raising money on behalf of the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
That work also earned him a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize. But in 2. 01. 1, Lewis even wore out his welcome with the MDA.
The group nixed Lewis’s planned swan- song telethon appearance, and ousted the comic as its national chairman.“No comedian since Charles Chaplin has been so loved and so reviled,” Weddle wrote in his defense of Lewis. Jerry Lewis in 2. Photo: Rich Fury/Invision/AP)More.
In 2. 01. 6, the Hollywood Reporter called its interview with the then- 9. Lewis a “train wreck.”“Jerry Lewis [was] vital and completely engaged,” the trade paper said. He’s just engaged — almost happily so — in being difficult.”In recent years, Lewis battled a variety of health problems. A bout with pulmonary fibrosis even pushed him to contemplate suicide, he eventually revealed. Earlier this year, Lewis required hospitalization and rehab for a urinary- tract infection.
