As is Jerry Lewis, who is 88 years old. They just released The Nutty Professor 50th Anniversary Edition boxset, a film which he produced, directed, co-wrote (with Bill Richmond) and starred in.

Ha! You beat me to it, Zookie! He was on The Tonight Show tonight. Almost seventy years of making fun or handicapped people, and he still isn't funny.

I think his work for Muscular Dystrophy has made up for any making fun he done.

Dean Martin was the one that was funnier but what I don't understand is why is he so popular in France and why they keep giving him awards and titles for being a " comedic genius " ?

Dean Martin was the one that was funnier but what I don't understand is why is he so popular in France and why they keep giving him awards and titles for being a " comedic genius " ? 

When I was just a young boy living in Pittsburgh, PA I loved watching the Martin & Lewis movies.

It seemed to be a popular opinion at the time that when they split up that Dean's career was over and that he would fade into obscurity.

I remember my mother telling me that it was over the image of Dean's **94** since he had portrayed characters in Rat Pack movies who were heavy drinkers as well as his **93** sheriff character in Rio Bravo.

She was wrong, but it seemed to be the fact at that time.

Jerry "was" a comedic genius, but since his movie characters went on a different road it eventually started to fade out after a while.
I feel that the muscular dystrophy telethons helped revive his career and since he could get other show biz personalities to appear showed more of Jerry the man who had no problem sharing the stage with them.

One telethon that always sticks in my mind was when Frank Sinatra encouraged his pal Dean Martin join Jerry on the show after all the years that had gone by.

Phyllis Schlafly, 90.

Among the cacaphony of crazies who now claim to be the American right, Ms Schlafly certainly has a claim to pre-eminence. She was active in Illinois Republican politics and first came to national notice for opposing the 1960 nomination of Richard Nixon because she believed that he supported an end to racial segregation. In 1964 she published A Choice Not An Echo supporting the candidacy of Barry Goldwater by setting out a conspiracy theory in which Nelson Rockefeller was masterminding the end of the Republican Party. She later split with Goldwater over his opposition to theocracy. She is best known for organizing opposition to the Equal Rights Amendment, and more recently working to organize a movement to impeach Justice Kennedy for his decision to spare minors the death penalty.
