...Walk Alone to "his" kids. There's Jerry Lewis whose bitter falling out with former partner Dean Martin is probably better remembered than the duo's actual body of work. There's Jerry Lewis the director and star of the original The Nutty Professor and, relatedly, Jerry Lewis the punch line to easy jokes about the inexplicable taste of French people.
