My old man used to live in the US when he was young he worked in clubs and was in a few westerns because he was a good horseman, he knew Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis personally and used to play golf with them....he actually used to date one of Dean Martin's daughters. It always was weird to walk past photo's in frames in our house to see pics of my father with Martin & Lewis (ever stranger pics of him with Dean Martin's daughter), Sammy Davis Jr, Robert Mitchum, Peter Lawford etc. The only one who he did not get to know was Sinatra, as he was set in his ways and hard to get near.

He used to even hang out with the Stones....and happened to be with them when Marianne Faithfull overdosed in Sydney in 1969. He did horse work in the Ned Kelly movie with Jagger.

He's got loads of stories, you would think they would have to be ********, but it's crazy when he pulls out old pics to back them up.

He taught me some of my early life comedy lol

He was a fine and very talented entertainer.

His greatest film was this drama/black comedy directed by Martin Scorsese, the King of Comedy, also starring Robert De Nero...
