Jerry was born in Newark, New Jersey to Russian Jewish parents - both performers. His father was in vaudeville and his mother played piano for a radio station. He began performing at a young age - 5 years old - with his parents.
He dropped out of high school and because of a heart murmur was rejected for service in World War II. His show business career really took off when he partnered with Dean Martin in the act "Martin and Lewis" in 1946. Dean was the straight man and Jerry was the goofy sidekick - they often made up their act on the spot, playing off of each other. Success followed quickly - on radio, tv, and movies.
They were good friends, as well as show business partners, but the success and constant togetherness began to wear on their friendship. In 1956, the act broke up and they both began successful careers of their own. They really didn't reconcile until 1976 - shortly after, Dean made a surprise appearance at Lewis's Labor Day telethon for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
For decades, raising money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association was also a famous part of Lewis' career. It is estimated that he raised almost 2 billion dollars for the organization.
Married twice, he had 6 sons - 1 of whom was adopted - and 1 daughter, also adopted. He had a lot of health problems - some arising from his very physical comedy style and some of them throughout his life: ongoing heart issues, prostate cancer, and diabetes, along with health problems associated with some of the medications used to treat the illnesses. He died at home in Las Vegas, Nevada, at the age of 91 (9:15am PDT on August 20, 2017).
