The son of Italian immigrants, young Dean spoke broken English and was not hugely gifted academically. Dropping out of school at the age of 16, he tried his hand at boxing and spent some time working several part-time jobs. At the same time, he started singing with local bands, and throughout the 1940s he developed his own singing style. It was in the middle of the decade when he teamed up with comedian Jerry Lewis, the two becoming one of the hottest entertainment acts of the era. They starred together in approximately 16 films, making their TV debut on the first broadcast of CBS-TV network’s Toast of the Town (later called The Ed Sullivan Show) in 1948.

Eventually, he became a solid member of Frank Sinatra’s “Rat Pack,” which added much more to his popularity. Martin is said to have reached the peak of his career as a host of the television variety program The Dean Martin Show (1965–1974), and subsequently The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast’s (1974–1985).

Dean died in 1995 from respiratory failure caused by lung cancer.
