As fascination with the Rat Pack thrives in films and on television, Dean Martin remains one of the group’s most enigmatic members. The Hollywood image of Dean Martin with a martini in one hand and a woman in the other continues to dominate public perception. Now, Dean’s son Ricci reveals the husband and father few people knew, a man who hated parties, adored his mother-in-law, and found utter contentment in a slice of buttered bread._x000D_
In That’s Amore: A Son Remembers Dean Martin, Ricci Martin takes readers on a tour through his childhood, from the star-studded parties to the exploration of “three marriages, eight kids, one family,” to the treasured one-on-one time he shared with his father. He also discusses Dean’s first meeting with Jerry Lewis and divulges his father’s version of the Martin and Lewis breakup. Ricci Martin addresses the key relationships in his father’s life, allowing readers to view the Rat Pack years, “The Dean Martin Show,” and Dean’s divorce from Jeanne through a son’s eyes._x000D_
That’s Amore reveals the triumphs, tragedies, and escapades that colored Ricci’s childhood, including his brother Dean Paul’s death. More than 100 photos from the private Martin family album enhance Ricci Martin’s portrait of his father, creating a complete, honest picture of the Rat Pack legend.
