  • @8:37 "Well, this has been a very plesant visit with Abbott and Costello all the way out in California..."

    "What? What?"

    "Take it easy, Laurel".

  • @mtw120 BWAHAHAHA! These two lunatics! Have you seen the 1954 Copa Show yet?

  • Thanks for this! I love it! Is there a first part? Right at the beginning it looks like Jeanne and Patti sitting on the sofa, would love to see that if you have more to it.

  • @CSV1511 Sorry! It's all that we have- all that Jerry had in his vault when we made his 1996 biography for A&E... couldn't fit more than a tiny snippet into the show. We also have Jerry's Person to Person at home (LB Mayer's old home) in 1958 after the split, with Patti!

  • @Onlymusical Have you read Nick Tosches' book on Dean? "Dino: Living High in the Dirty Business of Dreams"? As Nick told us while we were producing the A&E Biiography of The Rat Pack: "I love Jerry. All SEVEN of him!"

  • @Onlymusical You sure do know your Hollywood! Just sent you direct contact info in a message- welcome to use any time!

  • @soapbxprod Lewis also did a DVD interview about Laurel and Hardy in which everything was utterly wrong! He had Hardy working as a stagehand until Laurel picked him out and gave him a break!! Reminds me of John Ford saying that he discovered John Wayne as a prop boy and renamed him for "Stagecoach" when it was really Raoul Walsh who did that a decade earlier for his electrifying masterpiece "The Big Trail." Ford always wanted Walsh's wild background, though, down to the eyepatch.

  • @soapbxprod Yes, Lewis worked in a kind of crouch with Martin. His book about their partnership, "Dean and Me," is one of the most fascinating reads I've ever encountered and I've read it several times since it was published. Lewis apparently misremembers details over time, though. I recently saw an interview about how they met and it was totally different from the book.

  • @Onlymusical LOL! Jerry had to slouch all the time to give the appearance that Dean was bigger and stronger!

  • You can see when they stand up beside each other that they're exactly the same height; they both stood six feet.
