An American motion-picture actor and director, known for his screwball comedies was born on 16th March 1926 in New Jersey. He is probably best known for his antics as the frantic, blundering sidekick of American actor Dean Martin. Lewis and Martin started their team as a nightclub comedy act in 1946, before making their film debut with My Friend Irma (1949). They made 17 other movies in the next six years, each following the same basic routine: Martin plays the suave, romantic ladies' man undermined by Lewis's madcap bungling. The most notable of these films include Sailor Beware (1952), The Caddy (1953), Three Ring Circus (1954), Artists and Models (1955), and Hollywood or Bust (1956). Lewis and Martin ended their collaboration in 1956, and after making appearances in several other popular comedies, Lewis began producing and directing his own films, starting with The Bellboy (1960). Lewis also directed and starred in The Errand Boy (1961), The Ladies' Man (1961), and the acclaimed comedy The Nutty Professor (1963), in which Lewis plays a shy, bumbling college professor who develops a chemical formula that transforms him into a shamelessly overbearing swinger. Lewis's output as a director was sporadic after directing The Big Mouth (1967), in which he plays the hapless look-alike of a wanted diamond smuggler. In 1966 he began the “Jerry Lewis Telethon for Muscular Dystrophy,” an annual Labor Day television fundraising campaign to benefit children suffering from the muscle disease.
