I first saw Dean in a Martin & Lewis film on TV, of course: Pardners. I liked their rapport so much, I looked for more films on TV - I think my favorite was Sailor Beware! But Dean did some other good stuff too - Rio Bravo was fabulous, & he didn't need Jerry in that film! What I really enjoyed most about Dean though, was his "TV entertainer" side - he hosted The Dean Martin Variety Hour, as well as The Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts. You could tell just from watching those programs, Dean loved to entertain people, & he also loved to laugh! It was truly a pleasure to watch Dean work, because he enjoyed his job - & that's when a person will do their best! Dean always gave his best - when performing on the road with Jerry or with the Rat Pack, when recording a song, when acting in a film, & when doing his TV shows. He's fondly remembered by countless fans, & will always be missed. Arrivederci, Dino!
