My mother adored him and hated Lewis. I always found jerry Lewis came off as narcissistic and mean. My mother always used to say he wasn’t the drinker he portrayed himself to be it was an act. That he could not possibly do the career he had if he were.
She was right.
My hubbie worked for Century Plaza hotel in 1990’s and was excited when Jerry Lewis was to be a guest. He quickly learned the man was an insufferable ahole…. Just leave it at that. Dashed his love of this man’s comic genius…. Sad.
Smart mother.
