OH! MY! EDDIE! – The Tribute to Eddie Fisher

OH! MY! EDDIE! – The Tribute to Eddie Fisher
Event on 2011-10-14 19:00:00

OH! MY! EDDIE! – The Tribute to Eddie Fisher, written and performed by Matt Macis, debuts on Friday, October 14 2011. Featuring many of the hit songs that made Mr. Fisher the pop phenomenon of his day, like "Oh! My! Papa!", "Anytime", "(You Gotta Have) Heart", "Wish You Were Here", and many more, the show is a non-stop musical parade of the music that made Eddie into the star he was.

Performing the piece is Matt Macis, the 22 year-old performer who has garnered past successes with his tributes to 'The King of Pop' , and the dynamic comedy team of and in "The Crooner and The Comic". While the show is billed as a tribute – Macis is NOT impersonating Mr. Fisher. Instead, the program features Macis telling the story of the Philadelphia-born crooner, using Mr. Fisher's own words and the words gathered through Mr. Macis' personal and exclusive interviews with Eddie's professional colleagues, personal friends and life-long fans who came to know their idol in a most-personal way.

For the first time in decades, Mr. Fisher's music returns to the stage, and his story is told like it has never been told before. Backed by a four piece band, "OH! MY! EDDIE" is surely not to be missed.

Tickets are in advance through Eventbrite, or at the door. All press inquiries should contact Mr. Macis directly at Matt@TheCroonerAndTheComic.com.

Have you lost all respect for Jerry Lewis too?

Question by Shannon: Have you lost all respect for too?
After reading what has transpired over the last few years involving a possible daughter conceived out of an affair I find myself not liking Jerry Lewis so much. His own son submitted DNA to answer the question as to whether this woman is indeed his sister. When that came back highly likely why does Jerry Lewis not submit his own DNA to answer the question once and for all? What could be the hesitation? She looks like him, sounds like him and doesn’t want any money from him…why can’t he at least submit to the test? I think if this is his daughter he is a despicable person for not acknowledging her.

Answer by ana2rosa2003
This is the first I’ve heard of this.

However, it doesn’t change all of the good he has done for so many children.

Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis Collection, Volume Two (Partners / Hollywood or Bust / Living It Up / You’re Never Too Young / Artists and Models) Reviews

Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis Collection, Volume Two (Pardners / Hollywood or Bust / Living It Up / You're Never Too Young / Artists and Models)

LIVING IT UP: The 1954 Martin-and-Lewis romp Living It Up is an amusing remake of the 1937 comedy classic Nothing Sacred. More specifically, it is the film version of the Broadway musical Hazel Flagg, which was based on Nothing Sacred. The heroine of the original undergoes a sex change to become feckless Homer Flagg (Jerry Lewis), who is led to believe that he's dying of radiation poisoning. Manhattan newspaperwoman Wally Cook (Janet Leigh), hoping to improve circulation of her paper, convinces her boss, Oliver Stone (Fred Clark), to fete Homer as a hero with an all-expenses-paid trip to the Big Apple. Meanwhile, Homer learns from local doctor Steve (Dean Martin) that he isn't dying at all. But Steve talks Homer into taking advantage of the celebrity treatment bestowed on him by Wally, and a good time is had by all — until medical specialist Dr. Egelhofer (Sig Rumann) insists upon examining Homer. Highlights include a hilarious bit at Yankee Stadium, and an energetic jitterbug number featuring Jerry Lewis and Sheree North. The handful of songs retained from Hazel Flagg include "Every Street's a Boulevard in Old New York."
YOU'RE NEVER TOO YOUNG: You're Never Too Young is a slapstick-with-songs remake of the 1944 Ray Milland/Ginger Rogers vehicle The Major and the Minor. Dean Martin plays the Milland part, while Ginger's shoes are filled by...Jerry Lewis? Lewis plays an apprentice barber who inadvertently crosses a homicidal jewel thief (Raymond Burr), and equally inadvertently hightails it out of town with the crook's jewels in his possession. Desperate to escape the crook's clutches, and lacking the necessary funds for a train ticket, Lewis disguises himself as a 12-year-old boy so he can travel half fare. He latches onto Dean, a music teacher heading for an all-girls school. After innumerable routines sparked by Lewis's adolescent disguise, the jewel thief catches up with him, leading to a rollicking climactic speedboat chase. Dean Martin has plenty of opportunities to serenade leading lady Diana Lynn (who'd played a supporting role in The Major and the Minor), while Jerry Lewis is in peak form doing his usual "waah-waah-waah" schtick. The original Billy Wilder/Charles Brackett script for The Major and the Minor was reshaped into You're Never Too Young by future bestselling novelist Sidney Sheldon.
ARTISTS AND MODELS: Bearing very little relation to the 1937 Paramount musical of the same name, Artists and Models is a lavish, girl-filled vehicle for the popular team of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. Martin plays Rick Todd, a comic-book artist who is under fire from his publisher (Eddie Mayehoff), who complains that Rick's work isn't gory enough. Lewis plays Eugene Fullstack, Rick's roommate, who while asleep dreams up elaborate comic-book plots and garishly costumed superheroes. Eugene's nightmares help Rick become a success; meanwhile, our two heroes romance their luscious neighbors, artist Dorothy Malone and rambunctious model Shirley MacLaine (who during one song wrestles Eugene to the floor and sits on his chest!) Eugene's overworked imagination somehow attracts the attention of a group of Russian spies, who attempt to abduct Eugene during the annual Artists and Models Ball. Director Frank Tashlin uses Artists and Models as an excuse for some of the wildest sight-gags seen in a mid-1950s film. At one point, the director contrives to stuff a gag in Shirley MacLaine's mouth. Tashlin also exhibits his ongoing fascination with female breasts and legs by giving ample screen time to the natural attributes of co-stars Anita Ekberg and Zsa Zsa Gabor. One of the best of the Martin/Lewis efforts, Artists and Models suffers only from being about 20 minutes too long.
PARDNERS: This Dean Martin-Jerry Lewis romp is liberally based on the 1936 Bing Crosby film Rhythm on the Range. Set around 1910, the film stars Lewis as the pampered son of female tycoon Agnes Moorehead. Yearning to return to the Wild West where his father was a famed peacekeeper, Lewis purchases a prize bull, destined for the ranch inherited by rodeo star Dean Martin. It so happens that Martin and Lewis' late fathers were "pardners", so Martin takes it upon himself to protect Lewis from the various and sundry tough hombres in the region. Through a series of bizarre plot convolutions, Lewis gains a reputation as a rootin' tootin' gunslinger, and in his hubris he decides to round up a gang of outlaws headed by Jeff Morrow. As a result, he nearly gets himself blown to smitherines, but Martin shows up in the nick of time to rescue Lewis and help him capture the bad guys. Lori Nelson and Jackie Loughery supply the film's peripheral romantic angle. Pardners ends with Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis turning to the camera and promising that they'll keep on making pictures for their faithful fans; ironically, the team was breaking up even while the cameras were turning.
HOLLYWOOD OR BUST: Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis made their last joint film appearance in the girl-filled musical Hollywood or Bust. The thinnish plot finds inveterate film fan Jerry making a cross-country journey to Tinseltown for the purpose of meeting his favorite screen star, the buxom Anita Ekberg (the film's title, need it be added, has a double meaning). Dean goes along for the ride, hoping to expand his bankroll during a Las Vegas stopover. The boys are joined by a third traveller, an enormous Great Dane named Mr. Bascomb; along the way, the trio becomes a quartet when pretty Pat Crowley hitches a ride. The finale takes place in Hollywood, naturally, as Jerry wreaks havoc at a film studio which looks suspiciously like Paramount. All reports indicate that Hollywood and Bust was an unhappy shoot, with Jerry Lewis behaving so obstreperously that director Frank Tashlin ordered him off the set and told him to go home until he learned to behave himself; to this day, Lewis cannot bring himself to watch the film. Happily, the animosity between the two stars never comes across on screen, and as a result Hollywood or Bust is a most enjoyable diversion.Surely even the French, with their legendary love of all things Jerry Lewis, will be sated by the Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis Collection: Vol. 2, a three-disc package containing five comedy-musicals released on DVD for the first time. It would be a supreme stretch to call any of the five films in question (You're Never Too Young, Artists and Models, Living It Up, Pardners, and Hollywood or Bust) a classic, but then, anyone looking for challenging storylines and deep characterizations probably wouldn't be here in the first place. What the films offer instead are various breezy diversions, in the form of Martin, the suave, smooth talking cad and crooner; a parade of lovely young women (Dorothy Malone, Anita Ekberg, Janet Leigh, and Shirley MacLaine among them); some terrific musical numbers that are the highlights of their respective films; and, of course, the antics of Lewis, whose capacity for slapshtick and mugging is apparently inexhaustible. By this time (the mid-1950s), the two had already fit comfortably into their respective personae, with Lewis as the naïve, ingenuous rube and Martin right there to take advantage of him. In Artists and Models, Martin's aspiring painter cops ideas from the frenzied dreams of his comics-obsessed roommate (Lewis, natch) and creates a hit comic of his own, a simple story that's derailed by an absurd and unnecessary subplot involving the U.S. government and some enemy agents. Living It Up, adapted from an earlier musical called Nothing Sacred, finds Lewis cajoled by Martin, his doctor (talk about a stretch!), into pretending that he's suffering from radiation poisoning so they can both enjoy a lavish trip to New York courtesy of a newspaper trying to boost circulation by playing up the "dying" man's plight. Hollywood or Bust, a combination road picture and gentle spoof of the movie biz, casts Martin as a gambler and con man accompanying film fanatic Lewis on a trip to Tinseltown, while Pardners is a Wild West romp ("Jerry Lewis as a gunslinger" about sums it up) and You're Never Too Young puts Lewis totally in his element as he impersonates a 12-year-old boy in order to escape bad guy Raymond Burr. The plots are thin, at best, and the songs are hardly Oscar caliber. Still, the two stars have an undeniable chemistry, and the musical set pieces are highly entertaining, most notably a sort of pas de duh (sic) between Lewis and MacLaine in Artists and Models and an eye-popping, show-stopping dance number in Living It Up. In the end, it all basically comes down to one's capacity to endure Lewis' manic mannerisms (it's worth noting that by Hollywood or Bust, the pair's last collaboration, he's pretty thoroughly upstaged by a Great Dane). If even this cornucopia isn't sufficient, perhaps a move to France is in order. The set contains no bonus material. --Sam Graham

You Can Quit Smoking Now

Article by Mary Anne Lewis

I never thought I could quit smoking.After 32 years of cigarette smoking, I was resigned to the fact that I’d be puffing away until what I concluded would be an early death. But a miracle occurred when I realized that quitting smoking was all the result of making a decision. That decision may have saved my life, and it could save yours. But having quit unsuccessfully decades before, I knew something else was necessary. If you want to stop smoking now, you need support. That support might come from family or friends. But it’s much more likely to help you if it comes from smokers who have SUCCESSFULLY quit smoking for a number of years. I’ll admit it. A health scare led to my decision to stop smoking. And another admission — I used a medical aid to quit smoking. But I would never have been able to quit smoking without support. When I purchased the medical aid, I read the directions. They said that an outside was necessary. I thought to myself “maybe this isn’t necessary.” But then I thought again. I remembered how I had quit smoking in my 20s. I went without a cigarette for nine months, but broke down and took a puff from a friend’s cigarette at a wedding reception. Two months later, I was back buying cigarettes. And they were a lot cheaper in the 1980s than they are now. In all that time,from the 80s to 2006, I had only gone one day without a cigarette, in 1993. I thought I was going to quit that day in April, but it was not to be. I went to an exercise class the next day, and had a cigarette afterwards. I wanted to avoid these pitfalls this time. So I decided to find a support group. I looked on the web, and called several hospitals, and all had recordings where you could leave your name. Less than an hour later, the phone rang. “Hi! This is Jerry. I am a non-smoker, I do not smoke!” What a way to greet someone! But it turned out Jerry had successfully quit smoking for 14 years, after a 40 year smoking habit. Even though I was using the smoking aid, I was still smoking. I went to one support meeting, and quit the next day. I met several people who had quit for several weeks, some of whom had smoked for a very long time. So I thought: “If they can quit smoking, so can I.” I had made a decision. I kept going to the support meetings, and saw some of the people I had met begin to smoke again, after a stressful event or sometimes just because they got bored. But I was determined this time. I didn’t have much trouble until two months later, when a woman from church of all places let me know in no uncertain terms that she was very angry with me. I don’t know about you, but I always wanted a cigarette when I felt upset. Instead, I went home and called someone — and got more support. The next month, I had another health scare, and went back to the support meetings. Fortunately, things turned out okay. In former times, either of these events would have led to me smoking many cigarettes.But I was learning new techniques, and in the process improving my health, and saving lots of money. Three years later, I am still smoke free, even though I lost my job a couple of years ago. I am simply glad to be saving money. The bottom line — smoking aids — whether you buy them at the doctor’s office, the drug store, or on the Internet, are definitely worthwhile. But you must have support. If you can’t find a support group on the Internet, create your own, or listen to a recording you can purchase at the link near my name. Find some friends who want to quit smoking, and rely on each other. You can do it! And once you quit, remember a tip I learned at the support group. Never take another puff!

Comedian/Actor/Writer/Director and Humanitarian Jerry Lewis to Receive IPA’s 2005 TESLA™ Award “In Recognition of Visionary Achievements” as a Pioneering Innovator in the Field of Visual Technology for the Filmmaking Industry.

, CA (PRWEB) November 13, 2004

The International Press Academy (IPA), recognized as one the largest entertainment media associations of accredited domestic and foreign journalists in the world, today announced that , famed actor, writer/director and humanitarian, has been named as the recipient of the 2005 Tesla Award In Recognition of Visionary Achievements as a pioneering innovator in the field of visual technology for the cinema arts. Mr. Lewis will accept the Tesla Award at the Satellite Award gala, set to take place January 23, 2005, at The , Beverly Hills, California.

Born Joseph Levitch, March 16, 1926 in Newark, NJ, Jerry Lewis was a stand-up comic whose career was transformed when he paired with straight man, , in 1946. The pair’s hit nightclub routine was first transferred to film in 1949 with Lewis and Martin going on to star in a total of 16 films. After going solo in 1956 Lewis went on to write, star in, direct and even score his own vehicles, including “Cinderfella “The Bellboy,” “The Nutty Professor,” and a dozen other classic comedy musicals for which he became known around the world. It was during this period that the star conceived the concept of “Video Assist”, an innovation that became standard in the industry and is still used principally as he conceived it to this day.

While he is known the world over as a brilliant artist and stalwart humanist, raising billions of dollars for muscular dystrophy research through his annual telethons, few are aware of the depth and breathe of the entertainer Jerry Lewis’ technical achievements and contributions to the science of filmmaking. The International Press Academy honors these achievements with its Tesla Award for visionary innovations in the cinema arts, marking Jerry Lewis along with past winners and James Cameron as one of the outstanding achievers in the technical advance in the world of filmmaking.
