Jerry Lewis, a comedy icon, starred in over 74 films, including The Nutty Professor and The Bellboy. Best known for hosting the annual Muscular Dystrophy telethon, Lewis had a diverse career in film, TV, nightclubs, and Broadway. Raised by entertainer parents,
his need for attention shaped his often “cranky” persona. Though largely out of the spotlight in recent years, he remained a beloved figure until his passing, confirmed by The Las Vegas Review-Journal.
