Dean Martin

Dubbed as the King of Cool, Dean Martin was a famous singer and actor who rose to a degree of enduring prominence in the industry alongside comedian Jerry Lewis. Their duo, Martin & Lewis, made countless appearances in nightclubs, radio stations, TV, and even films. After Martin parted ways with the comedian, he solidified his hold of widespread fame through his solo career as an actor and entertainer. Moreover, he propped up his career to become a successful recording music artist while becoming one of the staple acts in Las Vegas. There the Rat Pack was formed, consisting of Martin, Frank Sinatra, and Sammy Davis Jr.

During the senior years of his career, Martin has also established himself to be a prominent TV personality. He was the roastmaster of the popular show Dean Martin Celebrity Roast. He passed away in 1995 at the age of 78, and engraved on his tombstone reads, “Everybody Loves Somebody,” which is one of his classic songs.
