Dean & Sharon



Dean Martin and Sharon Stone on set of "The Wrecking Crew"
late 1960's

Oh, yeah! That is Dean Martin! We had many great family moments watching Dean Martin's movies. It was when he showed up on variety shows in the '60's and who he performed with that was so much fun. Remember how smooth he was, and the way he smoked elegantly and drank with aplomb? He made everything he did cool, or seem cool. 

In our house we got a kick out of the way he easily segued from banter, to song, to cigarette, to joke, to sly smile, adoring eyes, to song and back to his cigarette that occupied his pregnant pause before a line, or a punch line. Remember that? 

Yeah, that was a smooth operator. - Gregory E. Woods 1.20.14
