Comedy Legend Jerry Lewis’ Son Christopher on the Life and Legacy of his Dad - By: Paul Lisnek

Jerry Lewis is an international legend in the world of film and television comedy. He was an actor, writer, producer, director and yet his life was quite complicated with many rumors emerging over the years about various parts of his life including his work for the Muscular Dystrophy Association and his professional relationship with Dean Martin, the other half of one of the most famous comedy teams ever: Martin and Lewis.

Finally, the truth is told through the memories shared by his son, Christopher. Chris says that the examples his Dad set for him and his viewers were the building blocks for laughter as a part of everyday life with a focus on helping people in need which became a critical part of his life’s mission.

Chris shares his memories in his book, “Jerry Lewis On Being A Person.” The book was based on his father’s “instruction book” titled “Being a Person,” which Jerry wrote in 1963 when he was displeased by the poor relationships and interpersonal conduct being exhibited on the filming set of “The Nutty Professor.” That book became the framework for the stories, facts and truth that appear in the book.

Jerry Lewis fans will learn so much about the things they have always wondered about when it comes to the life of this fascinating man.
