Dean and Me_ A Love Story - Jerry Lewis [110]
I must also acknowledge the superlative Joy Harris and the magnificent Phyllis Grann.
And, as ever, Karen, Jacob, Aaron, and Avery.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS
JERRY LEWIS and Dean Martin sandwiched sixteen money-making films in between nightclub engagements, recording sessions, radio shows, and television bookings during their ten-year partnership. Over the following years, Lewis remained in the spotlight as the groundbreaking creator and star of a series of hugely successful movie comedies, and scored triumphs in stage appearances in Europe, where he has been hailed as one of the greatest comedians of the twentieth century. He was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize and has received numerous other honors for his tireless efforts in the fight against muscular dystrophy.
JAMES KAPLAN has written novels, essays, and reviews, as well as over a hundred major profiles for many magazines, including The New Yorker, the New York Times Magazine, Vanity Fair, Esquire, Entertainment Weekly, and New York. In 2002, Kaplan coauthored the autobiography of John McEnroe, You Cannot Be Serious, which was an international best-seller and #1 on the New York Times list. He lives in Westchester County, New York, with his wife and three sons.
