I have mixed feelings about this presentation. On the one hand it is a fantastic photo montage of the life of a very singular genius. It seems well researched and well reported however to title it about the violence of the man was a cheap shot. What I saw was a man operating at a very high level of creativity who has all of us humans, had feet of clay. A personality that profound that strayed into overly sharp rhetoric and verbal abuse of others. When you compare that to you yourself compiled as a lifetime of excellence and service that benefited physically and spiritually to people all over the planet then it was very unfair to encapsulate this presentation as the violence of Jerry Lewis. You ought to be ashamed of yourself and if you’re not then there are some of us out here who see through you and your desire to gain a UKposts following with no regard for your tactics. Have you been more sincere about your presentation it would’ve been not just a good presentation but a great presentation about a great man who had flaws. But your inability to go for the cheap shot really characterizes YOU as a poor excuse for a human being. Pageofwonder 0:06

Didn't they settle assets at the time of the divorce? Therefore the wife's assets would be left to the children?

The times were much different then. A man of his stature in Hollywood and his adoration in the public realm would negate ex’s and even biological children as simply casualties. A true misogynist and someone that evidence has revealed sexually and physically assaulted female costars and women who came into his orbit. Funny guy? ☹️ Think again!

@@chrisward1691 That was divorce. His second wife and adopted daughter sold everything he owned, included his large watch collection - one from Dean Martin and one from Sammy Davis Jr. You would have thought his second wife would have had the decency to give one to each son.

As a child I loved Jerry Lewis films. Cinderfella was my favorite. As an adult I found those same films to be irritating. His characters were rude and dreadfully annoying.

Granted, he was funny but he was no sweetheart.

He wS known in the film industry as a real nasty man !...

@@petergedd9330 Sometimes Gossip is concealed reality. The facts show what he really was. It isn't merely hearsay that he left nothing to his first wife and Kids.

His old stuff with Martin is still funny. Then again, I don't feel like listening to Lennon's music after his treatment of Julian was revealed. The past never sleeps.

It’s public knowledge, as wills always are. Lewis was a particularly nasty narcissist, and he was loathed by most people in the industry. Bing Crosby and Bob Hope, for example, despised him. Crosby refused to speak to him for years. The MD Assn fired him

He could have had narcissistic traits or personality: infidelity (narcissists perceive only physical part of love and sometimes are mad about it), lack of empathy (insensitive jokes), cruelty (harassment), lack of values (insensitive public comments, harassment), etc. His acting career, contribution to MD charity could be motivated by the need for attention (so called: narcissistic supply). I recommend anyone to at least learn 'Narcissistic Red Flags', look up Prof. Sam Vaknin (self aware narcissist), Dr. Ramani, Dr. Les Carter, Dr Abdul Saad, Ross Rosenberg (interview: 'The Ugly Truth about Gaslighting' as test for narcissistic parents). Only competent health professional may give proper diagnosis, will need good observations for that, and usually family, friends, close people do have enough of them. There are some common types but really each narcissist is different like fingerprints. For the victims proper diagnosis is not required to learn how to deal with them. I wonder why he disown children from the 1st marriage? Perhaps they knew and were able to tell the truth about him. Narcissism is just type of character, it's not a disease but such person can destroy lives of close people, communities, world in order to save face (someone with NPD). Millenials have 4x more such traits than the rest of population.

What is the name of the book?

you could have told us what he was really like you must have had family knowledge about him.

Please tell us what book you are talking about.

If his 1st wife was your uncle's sister then she was either your aunt or your mother so which was it?

@@1sxywj Not really. People, especially when vulnerable, can be easily manipulated against people they have loved all their lives. Or you may have a parent who just demands absolutely more than you can possibly supply, whether it be attention, money, or just anything imagined. Some parents are just mean.

Well, if he was nice to YOU, I guess all the rest of it is false, right?

Dean and Jerry didn't really make it up that night on the Telethon. They still didn't talk after that except when Deans son died and Jerry called him. They never spoke after that. When Dean himself died, Jerry quietly came and sat at the back of the church during the funeral, then quietly left afterwards.

That surprise meeting of Jerry and Dean was arranged by Frank Sinatra.

It most certainly is! Alls well that ends well.

Yup! And JL DEPOSITED that straight into his OWN bank account!

Maybe that was to buy off his terrible remarks about the disabled kids.

Exactly. Toxic narcissist, or histrionic personality disorder, which is the most extreme type of narcissism. He could also have been in the closet, there’s a fair bit of evidence in the movies and shows. Anger with Dean for not being interested

Growing up and even in my adult life if I'm feeling down I put on one of my DVD'S of his and I feel better afterwards he wasn't perfect but should get respect for his talent he said many times without Dean he wouldn't be so successful

​@@sunglasses-ex4jn I’m delighted for you that you have nice memories of him. I do not intend to bring his name down. I know many narcissists, narcissistic people and love them dearly. If you go deeper into this issue you may love him even more. Narcissists are people broken in childhood, going through life in fear, dealing with difficulties like 2 years old, denying they do anything bad while for lack of empathy using, destroying people. He started pulling Dean’s hair, got too difficult, overdid. I believe him when he said in one interview they never lost contact. They stop working together but kept meeting, participated in parties of both families. It was very kind of Dean. I’ve seen him looking during some performances just miserable. It was very wise of Jerry to choose to be an actor to satisfy his need for attention (called ‘narcissistic supply’). Many narcissists or narcissistic people for attention (negative or positive) will irritate others, insult, lie, abuse. He is not a man who made mistakes but a man who had certain tendencies, constant pattern of negative behaviours. I used to love to watch Carol Burnett Show. But more I did it came realization that they also pushed down the level of sensibility of viewers what is decent. If it wasn’t for that I would have bought all her DVDs You would honor his memory by learning more about narcissism. This could help you, others, maybe you could help some victims, motivate some narcissists to seek help.

MDA was always under the gun about how the money was spent. Some thought it should have gone directly to the people with MD to help them and others thought it should have gone to research. All the years it was on I never heard any accusations of it being stolen. I would be a bit surprised if Jerry had access to the money.

He never took a penny for doing the telethons, or anything else he did for MDA, and nobody knows why.

Actually, the break-up was mutual. Dean wanted to pursue a solo singing and serious acting career and Jerry wanted to pursue solo acting, writing and directing and wanted total control. They both got what they wanted and it worked out great for both of them.

My mother grew up around that time and sad Jerry badmouthed Dean and supposedly initiated the breakup. I think Jerry might have even said Dean would amount to nothing and was a drunk. Well, Dean made so much money from film , tv and recordings after the split that at one point he practically owned NBC. As a child I used to think Jerry was hilarious in films, but when I saw him on TV in interviews and hosting the telethons he just read as a nasty person. I was a kid but I knew something was off. He just seemed creepy and mean.
