Dean Martin
(born Dino Paul Crocetti; June 7, 1917 -- December 25, 1995) was an American singer, actor, comedian, and film producer.
One of the most popular and enduring American entertainers of the mid-20th century, Martin was nicknamed the “King of Cool“ for his seemingly effortless charisma and self-assureds.
He was a member of the “Rat Pack“ and a star in concert stage/nightclubs, recordings, motion pictures, and television. He was the host of the television variety program The Dean Martin Show (1965--1974) and The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast (1974--1985).
Martin’s relaxed, warbling crooning voice earned him dozens of hit singles including his signature songs “Memories Are Made of This“, “That’s Amore“, “Everybody Loves Somebody“, “You’re Nobody till Somebody Loves You“, “Sway“, “Volare“, and “Ain’t That a Kick in the Head?“.
Martin was married three times. Subsequent to the divorce of his first wife, Elizabeth Anne “Betty“ McDonald, Martin gained custody of their children; Betty lived out her life in quiet obscurity in San Francisco. Their children were Stephen Craig Martin (born 1942), Claudia Dean Martin (born March 16, 1944, died 2001 of breast cancer), Barbara Gail Martin (born 1945) and Deana Martin (born 1948).
Martin’s second wife was Jeanne Biegger. Jeanne was sometimes in Martin’s audience while he was still married to Betty. Their marriage lasted 24 years (1949--1973) and produced three children: Dean Paul (November 17, 1951 -- March 21, 1987; plane crash), Ricci James (born 1953) and Gina Caroline (born 1956). Her marriage made Martin the father-in-law of the Beach Boys’ Carl Wilson. Figure skater Dorothy Hamill and actress Olivia Hussey were his daughters-in-law during their marriages to Dean Paul Martin.
Martin’s third marriage to Catherine Hawn lasted three years. Martin initiated the divorce proceedings. Martin adopted Hawn’s daughter, Sasha; Martin’s uncle was Leonard Barr, who appeared in several of his shows.
