“Hanging out with Dean - I was in awe of him. No one thought he would make it on his own and I really felt that he surpassed Jerry Lewis. His acting in movies and how he could be the star of a show and do comedy and singing without Jerry... he had his persona down perfectly. He had one of the great voices of all time. Because of that show, I started to date his daughter Deanna. We went out quite a bit. She could not wait to tie my bowtie. She said, 'I do this for my father.'”
