I have to say as a preemptive response, it kind of brought it to attention. Thou Seems no negative responses
Martin & Lewis’s popularity is hard to imagine today. I doubt any current artist even approaches what they had. His amazing longevity can be seen in how people were introduced to him. I was born in 70, and primarily remember him as the telethon guy, but for my parents he was a movie star, and older folks remember the act.
I was born in 1966 and loved watching his movies on TV as a kid.
Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin were so phenomenally popular and accomplished individually, that I sometimes soft-forget that Lewis and Martin were the Lewis and Martin in Lewis & Martin.
And the only thing that makes me feel older than seeing this thread, 8 hours old, with only six comments, is my joints.

As someone who doesn't follow entertainment & pop culture closely, how is this related to HN?
One of more arguments: "as a filmmaker of great personal force and technical skill, he made many contributions to the industry, including the invention in 1960 of a device — the video assist, which allowed directors to review their work immediately on the set — still in common use."
Jerry Lewis was the first nerdy (anti)hero in movies that I saw. I remember very little of his films, I was very young when spanish TV used to air them, but I can say his usual character was funny and likeable.
In death, we shed who we where in live- it becomes somewhat unimportant, what matters now lives on as our family and the thoughts we put into other peoples heads - our legacy.
I will always fondly remember the anarchic errand boy, mocking the grandeur of some peacocks at meetings.

I spent the first ten years of my life thinking he was the same guy as Jerry Lee Lewis.
I am only just now finding out that he wasn't.
As a kid I watched the telethon year after year and thought he was a hero.
