    There are two ways to be fooled, one is to believe what isn't true, the other is to refuse to believe that which is true.

    And one of the last great stars from the golden age, I guess. Not many of 'em left, sadly.

        His health had been iffy for over a decade (as had his weight, due to steroids) but he was able to continue into his 91st year. Hard to believe he survived Dean Martin by over twenty years.

            I was surprised to learn from his obituaries today that Jerry Lewis was huuuuge in France, and was even awarded the Légion d'Honneur. RIP "Le Professeur des Noisettes"

              In the 1960s he wanted to be like Cecil B. DeMille.
              Now he is.

              Seriously,not many left from that Golden Age.
