“Deranged response”? How idiotic. He chose not to undergo surgery for lung cancer. That was his choice. Nothing deranged about an older person not wanting to be cut up and die on his own terms. RIP

Not just the surgery they would likely want him to quit smoking too he would rather die. My grandfather drank and smoked heavily and lived to be about 83 died without any cancer in his sleep so only five years difference.

Agreed. Dean didn’t fake his way to the top. He had talent and a voice unique and easy to hear. He was a star in every sense of the word, and a pretty nice guy. He loved his kids and he avoided the Mafia guys, unlike Sinatra. He loved comic books and westerns. The loss of a child, no matter one’s age, is the worst loss a human can suffer. That wound to the heart never heals. The only thing he faked was being drunk. He was killed by the same addiction that has killed most of his generation: smoking. He was a nonstop chain smoker and he went the way they all did, including John Wayne, Sammy Davis Jr., and Yul Brenner: cancer. Smoking causes cancer, they knew it back in the sixties, but the addiction was too hard to break for most. Lung cancer may have killed him, but I think the broken heart over his son’s death made him ready to go, to accept his fate. Hopefully he’s with his son now. But Dean left us a wonderful legacy of entertainment, songs and laughs. And that’s we we still love the guy years after his passing. He was one of a kind. Pretty good legacy for 78 years.

As for his refusing surgery to prolong his life, I admire that too. Where is it written that we must, at all costs and by any means, go on and on as long as we can possibly go on? Rest in peace Dean.

Dean Martin had an incredible array of talent, one unlikely to be matched. To top it all off, he was the King of Cool. Some events in his life were quite tragic, yes, but I wouldn't say his end was. He lived well into his 70s. Considering how he lived, that's quite astonishingly as well.

I had the honor of meeting him in person at RJ’s the rib joint back in 1980. Or 81. He was wonderful. I fawned all over him worse than Lucy meets a star on her shows. He was kind sweet and so nice to me. He’s been my idol since the early 70’s. When he jumped on that piano and was goofy and then went to the couch and sang beautifully in that tux who didn’t wish they were him. A true man’s man. I wish he hadn’t smoked. His looks and voice would have lasted much longer. When I’m depressed I put an album of his on and I sing along and feel good again. I miss him. God rest his soul.

As a singer, he was fabulous. He would arrive at the recording studio on time, with no entourage and would lay down tracks with no second run through. He had a three octave range and was a total professional. The drinking thing was largely fake. He cultivated it to add colour to his image as a bit of a bad boy. That sold records. His song Return to Me, co-written with Danny Di Minno, he sang in cabaret at the Sands Casino in 1958 to his wife who had temporarily left him for a known mafia identity as they sat in the audience. She leapt into his arms as he walked through the tables singing the song to her. What a romantic.

The chemo and radiation therapy treatments that manufacturers say prolong life by a factor of 5-7 times don't do that. The manufacturers are telling lies. Those treatments are tested by the manufacturers' own in house laboratories and altering the results is easy. When independent test labs test those same exact treatments, those substances kill you 5-7 times faster.

One of my elderly neighbour (mid 80s) was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. The kindest thing for him was palliative care. However his daughter persuaded him to have chemo. He lasted 6 months most of it with the miserable chemo symptoms. I personally feel the medics were downright incompetent and his daughter verging on selfish. There are always ifs/buts/excuses but nobody would dream of putting a beloved pet through what he had to endure.

In 1968 I was living in Beverly Hills right off Rodeo Drive. It was 1:30 in the morning and I wandered out onto the deserted street. Here comes this Yellow Lamborghini P400 rolling slow. It was the only one in America in 1968. I knew immediately who it belonged to because Dean Martin had bought the first one off the line for his son's 16th birthday. I stepped out onto the yellow line and flagged him down. And of course, it was Dino, age 17. I introduced myself as a friend of his father and asked how he liked the car as we shook hands. What a kid he was. Handsome as hell, with thick gold hair, big hands, a strong handshake, polite and friendly - It was easy to see why his dad absolutely adored him. Any father would be proud to have such a manly, charming son. .' Across the street a young girl emerged from a club wearing a sumptuous mink and little else. She was gorgeous and alone. Dino excused himself, drove over to her, and after a brief conversation she got into the car and they drove off. I thought how great it must be to be young, rich, and handsome with a yellow Lamborghini. Here it is 63 years later and I'm still talking about it. Dean was never the same after Dino died. Part of him died with his boy.

After his son was killed flying his jet into a mountain he was never the same. He lost the light in his life and was not the same after that. But who among us would not feel the same way if we lost our children? Very sad and tragic. RIP Dino, we all love and miss you!

I think the first time I really appreciated Martin was the first time I heard "Sway." I thought, "Wow, what a fantastically atmospheric song!" I LOVED it. Then it occurred to me: "Who is that singing? What a great voice for this song! He really nails it. ... Hey, wait a minute. Isn't that Dean Martin?" I want to say that he and that song were made for each other. But then I have to admit it's also hard to imagine anyone else singing "Amore"--and probably a lot of others he made famous.

As I turned to leave he pulled me gently towards him and kissed me on the cheek. I floated back to my hotel. He was lovely. Purely lovely. And more gorgeous than you can imagine!! (An aside: I have Alo met and spent time with Debbie Reynolds, Jimmy Caan, Kevin Bacon, and Ted Danson. They were also very very nice people. Not one of them full of themselves. Jimmy used to answer his telephone just saying "Hi, this is Jimmy." For you REAL old timers: Rod Cameron used to come and stay at our home in Rhode Island on Narragansett Bay. He tried to talk my Mom into running away with him. Mom told my Dad and Rod was never asked to come to our home again !!!!! Lolol

It was a landmark million dollar deal for the time. As Marilyn's co-star, Dean refused to work with any of the replacements the Studio proposed. A true friend.

Dean was born Dino Crocetti of Steubenville, Ohio. There was a lot of heavy industry (steel) in the area, men with paychecks, and hence illegal casino restaurants in the hills. (They eventually took the croupiers to start Las Vegas.) Dean also played notorious clubs run by organized crime in Cleveland and Columbus. This information is contained in NIck Tosches excellent Dean Martin biography. Dean was an Ohioan, and he definitely got his start there.

Agree - 100%. Norman Lear, famous writer - started writing for Dean and Jerry in 1950, but he left after 3 years because he couldn't handle Jerry's control freakery any longer. He said that Dean competed with nobody, but Jerry constantly competed with Dean, and they'd find him on the floor in fetal position feeling sorry for himself, and would have to call his doctor. Norman Lear also said that Dean was the funnier of the 2 and was able to make Lear laugh into fits just by moving a little finger. Dean had looks, he was smoking hot (according to my millennial daughter), he could sing, he was lovable, kind, and talented - but he'd had enough after 9 years, during which time Angie Dickinson said it was "open warfare" between the 2 of them. Jerry took control of the writing, and edged Dean out more and more. Jerry would never have done it without Dean, and it's a shame Dean spent so much time with Lewis. Sinatra forced a reconciliation, but later on Carson, Dean put the lie to the notion that he and JL were friends. Just one eyeroll.
