  • Summary

  • Jerry Lewis was one of the most successful entertainers that ever lived. The only child of a showbiz family, his performing career, which kicked off barely beyond his toddler years on the burlesque circuit, quietly ended on the big screen, nearly 80 years later. 

    By his teenage years he was a married man, soon to be part of one of the most successful double acts that graced stage, screen, tv and radio. Thereafter, he became  a complete film performer, director and producer, whose success around the World, especially in Europe, led to substantial recognition of his inventive skills and style as a film maker.

    But though capable of great acts of kindness  and displays of  talent, Jerry could be a very difficult man, whose lonely childhood and troubled personal and professional relationships, sometimes reflected an angst ridden, confused and troubled persona, which sometimes had a negative impact on friends, professional colleagues, family members and most of all himself.
