John Stewart was employed by Dean Martin in the mid 1970’s as his chauffeur. During this time Martin was going through a divorce from Catherine Hawn and Martin gave several items of clothing to Stewart to dispose of. Stewart kept a few bags of clothes for himself and this shirt is one of those items of clothing. The LOA attests to this fact. LOA is dated and gives Stewart’s address at the time. This is a superb piece of Dean Martin Memorabilia.
Dino Paul Crocetti (June 7, 1917 – December 25, 1995), known famously as Dean Martin, was an American actor, singer and comedian. One of the most popular and enduring American entertainers of the mid-20th century, Martin was nicknamed “The King of Cool” for his seemingly effortless charisma and self-assurance.
Martin gained his career breakthrough together with fellow comedian Jerry Lewis, billed as Martin & Lewis, in 1946. They performed in nightclubs and later had numerous appearances on radio, television and in films. Following an acrimonious ending of the partnership in 1956, Martin pursued a solo career as a performer and actor.
Martin established himself as a notable singer, recording numerous contemporary songs as well as standards from the Great American Songbook. He became one of the most popular acts in Las Vegas and was known for his friendship with fellow artists Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr., who together formed the Rat Pack.
Starting in 1964, Martin was the host of the television variety program The Dean Martin Show, which centered on Martin’s singing talents and was characterized by his relaxed, easy-going demeanour. From 1974 to 1984 he was roast master on the popular Dean Martin Celebrity Roast, which drew notable celebrities, comedians and politicians.
Throughout his career, Martin performed in concert stages, nightclubs, audio recordings and appeared in 85 film and television productions. His relaxed, warbling, crooning voice earned him dozens of hit singles, including his signature songs “Memories Are Made of This“, “That’s Amore”, “Everybody Loves Somebody”, “You’re Nobody till Somebody Loves You”, “Sway”, “Ain’t That a Kick in the Head?” and “Volare”.
