This podcast offers an intriguing preview of the new book by Rick Saphire that has everyone in Hollywood whispering! "The REAL Jerry Lewis Story" has been decades in the making and contains never-before-published facts about the life of legendary entertainer Jerry Lewis and his family's remarkable show business legacy.
Joining the podcast are author Rick Saphire, his co-host Linda Pierce, Jerry Lewis's daughter Suzan Lewis, singer Judy Scott—who was Jerry Lewis's first opening act after he separated from Dean Martin—big band vocalist Patty Palmer (who, coincidentally, is the mother of legendary rock 'n' roll icon Gary Lewis, Jerry's firstborn son), and her husband, Jerry Lewis.
Rick Saphire served as Jerry Lewis's manager, and prior to that, Jerry was Rick’s mentor in the entertainment industry. Since the age of six, Jerry had been a friend to Rick.
The story is packed with sensational revelations, including the history of the popular TV telethons, the intricacies of Jerry Lewis's connection and eventual disconnection with the Muscular Dystrophy Association, and the true tale of how and why Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis teamed up, as well as what led to the dissolution of their partnership.
"The REAL Jerry Lewis Story" is available for purchase on Amazon and other online booksellers. It’s a must-read for anyone interested in the world of show business.
