Patti Lewis - brainy, tactful, understanding, and tolerant.

The February 1954 issue of Modern Screen Magazine discusses Hollywood marriages.

"According to Hollywood legend the typical actor's wife is a spoiled, fatuous, self-centered zany who has little to do but waste her husband's money on an ever-growing army of leeches--psychiatrists, interior decorators, and cloying perfume salesmen. She is the kind of grating chatterbox Billie Burke used to play so perfectly in the movies.

"Admittedly, many motion picture stars have mates who still fall into this caricatured category, but lately Hollywood has produced a new kind of wife--brainy, tactful, understanding, and incredibly tolerant.

"Mrs. Gary Cooper, Mrs. Ray Milland, Mrs. Jerry Lewis, Mrs. Mario Lanza, and Mrs. Gregory Peck are all cases in point."

Perfect Fools--Jerry Lewis & Dean Martin

".... and they've never been known to do an act more than once. They've never been known to have an argument, because all along the way they've honestly shared."

"JERRY LEWIS and his wife Patti adore their new playhouse, the most complete party room in all Hollywood. The 30 by 60 foot building cost over $25,000. But Jerry, who earns about half a million a year considers it well worth it."

Modern Screen Magazine dug deep into the lives of some young Hollywood types in their June 1953 issue. One of their subjects was Jerry and his playhouse.

"In contrast to the old Hollywood standards where butlers and formality ruled the household roost, today movieland goes in for pleasant, relaxed, and informal living. Nowhere is this motif, this way of life, more conspicuous than at the home of Jerry and Patti Lewis.

"Jerry, of course, earns more money than any youngster under the age of 30 throughout the world. He averages half a million a year. Thus, when Patti talked him into buying a brick colonial house with pool in the Pacific Palisades, he insisted that he must have one small wing where he could indulge himself in his various hobbies, gun-collecting, movie-making, photography, hell-raising, and so forth.

"Jerry decided to build a small, separate rumpus room. The idea carried him away. When construction costs on this small rumpus room hit $20,000 wife Patti called a halt. But not for long. What started out to be a hideaway developed into a de luxe playhouse, and it's here that Jerry and his gang make their wild movie Shorts, satirizing well-known film hits.

"Right now the playhouse is valued at $120,000, that is with photographic equipment included, but Jerry says it's worth every penny in fun and relaxation."

Dean Martin's son Craig was married to Lou Costello's daughter Carole.

Isn't it nice to see the in-laws getting along?

Side note: Carole Costello Martin died of a stroke, just eight days after Craig lost his younger brother Dean Paul in a plane crash, per the Los Angeles Times.
