We're giving away a new Jerry Lewis 10-film collection.

Chicago – Jerry Lewis had a long and winding life, dying last week at the age of 91. Through that life he had many show business lives – including the inevitable addictions – surviving all of the them with his signature comic style. He also was featured in over 70 films, and HollywoodChicago.com remembers three of them.

When the gawky 19 year-old Lewis met the suave singer Dean Martin in 1946, little did they know that they would become the most popular act in America for several years, and make 16 films together between 1949 through 1956. Their box office draw was white-hot, so much so that neither of them could keep up with the blur of what happened to them. “Martin & Lewis” eventually broke up at the height of their fame in 1956, during which Martin famously said, “Jer, when I look at you,...

From 1966 through 2014, The Jerry Lewis Mda Labor Day Telethon was associated with Labor Day weekend, so Turner Classic Movies has chosen this coming Labor Day, Sept. 4, to host a daylong marathon of films featuring the star, who died Sunday at the age of 91.

The lineup ranges from 1952’s The Stooge, in which Lewis starred with Dean Martin, to 1983’s The King of Comedy, in which Lewis was directed by Martin Scorsese.

The complete schedule follows:

I annoyed Jerry Lewis once by asking him about The Day the Clown Cried, a movie he starred in and directed in 1972, and then refused to release. "It's awful," said Lewis of the Holocaust drama in which he starred as a circus clown who entertains Jewish children as he leads them to their deaths in Nazi gas chambers. Why not show it and let the world decide? "I'm ashamed of it," Lewis told me flatly. When I pressed him, he flashed a look that could be subtitled "End of Discussion.

American comedy star Jerry Lewis has died of natural causes, aged 91.

The star of The Nutty Professor and The Bellboy was surrounded by his family when he passed away at his Las Vegas home.

Lewis was an entertainer whose roots stretched back to Vaudeville and who made his name with his onscreen partnership alongside Dean Martin. The duo made a string of 16 hit films in the Fifties, including Sailor Beware and The Stooge.

He returned to the screen in later life in films including The King of Comedy and Funny Bones.

Off-screen, he became known as a charity fundraiser, hosting an annual Muscular Dystrophy telethon, for which he raised millions of dollars.

In recent years, he came under fire for continuing to tell racist and misogynist jokes and he was forced to apologise for making a anti-gay slur during the 2007 telethon. He also battled an addiction to prescription drugs.

He is survived.

Jerry Lewis, who became a household name as one-half of legendary duo Martin & Lewis, has died at the age of 91.

In a statement attributed to Lewis’ family, the Las Vegas Review-Journal‘s John Katsilometes reports that Lewis died of natural causes on Sunday morning, surrounded by loved ones at his Las Vegas, Nev. home.

Lewis, an iconic comedian in his own right, first teamed with Dean Martin in 1946, becoming one of the most successful acts in the country before their highly publicized split in 1956. They appeared together in such films as My Friend Irma, The Caddy, The Stooge, Artists and Models and Pardners.

Polly Bergen dead at 84: ‘First woman president of the U.S.A.,’ former mistress of Tony Soprano’s father Emmy Award-winning actress Polly Bergen — whose roles ranged from the first U.S.A. woman president in Kisses for My President to the former mistress of both Tony Soprano’s father and John F. Kennedy in the television hit series The Sopranos — died from "natural causes" on September 20, 2014, at her home in Southbury, Connecticut. The 84-year-old Bergen, a heavy smoker for five decades, had been suffering from emphysema and other ailments since the 1990s. "Most people think I was born in a rich Long Island family," she told The Washington Post in 1988, but Polly Bergen was actually born Nellie Paulina Burgin on July 14, 1930, to an impoverished family in Knoxville, Tennessee. Her father was an illiterate construction worker while her mother got only as far as the third grade. The family...

The Stooge is a proposed follow-up to Who Framed Roger Rabbit? that will team Mickey Mouse and Roger Rabbit together in a remake of the 1952 comedy of the same name starring Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. It is set to take place throughout five specific locations in Disneyland park, and will also bring both Walt Disney and Orson Welles back to life via motion-capture.

Still in the early development phases, this pitch comes from original Roger Rabbit creator Gary K. Wolf, author of the novel upon which Who Framed Roger Rabbit? is based. And it's a pitch that's meant to look as though it were coming from Roger himself. Working alongside development producer Erik Von Wodtke, the pair have created a series of concept art posters, revealing that they are also planning three new Roger Rabbit animated shorts that will be created in conjunction with The Stooge.

That art can be seen here,...

Last month we reported that Roger Rabbit producer Gary K. Wolf was working on developing a new animated buddy-comedy project for Pixar called The Stooge, and it would star Mickey Mouse and Roger Rabbit. Thanks to AICN we have a new piece of pre-production art to share with you for the project. The art was created by Douglas Sirois who gives an update,

The Stooge has a treatment and we have a few writers brainstorming. We are developing more concept art. We have two directors interested and are actively looking for a Disney producer to take it to the next level. It is a great concept and a ton of fun developing. We also have been working with Gary K. Wolf on some Roger Rabbit short animation concepts that will also grab more attention and celebrate the 25th anniversary of the character this year!

Wolf assures the site that the project is happening.

In February, we reported that Walt Disney Studios was moving forward on a remake of the 1952 comedy The Stooge starring Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. Only in this version, Mickey Mouse and Roger Rabbit would be the leads in what was described as a mix of CGI and live action that also featured cameos from Walt Disney himself and Orson Welles. This news came directly from Who Framed Roger Rabbit? creator and writer of the original novel upon which the movie is based, Gary K. Wolf.

This morning, we somehow managed to get the reclusive Roger Rabbit himself (aka published scientist and comedian Charles Fleischer) on the phone to talk about the Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Blu-ray coming out March 12th, and he called this news a little white lie.

"I would say the key word of the phrase is 'rumor'. Yes. It is unsubstantiated. I would say that any...

It looks like there's a good chance that Mickey Mouse and Roger Rabbit could star in a new Disney/Pixar movie together called The Stooge. Roger Rabbit producer Gary K. Wolf has confirmed that the film has been proposed to Disney as a fully-animated buddy comedy starring Roger Rabbit and Mickey Mouse. The title is the same as the 1952 movie that starred Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, and here's what Wolf recently told AICN.

The Stooge is a real development proposal for a Disney/Pixar movie. It has the same title as the Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis film and some of the same plot elements, but it’s not a remake. The storyline in this Stooge is quite different.

This movie, which will be all animated, has nothing to do with the sequel to Who Framed Roger Rabbit. They are totally different concepts and projects. It’s not a...

Mickey Mouse is one of the most recognizable characters on the planet, but Disney has been reluctant to use him in any new animated movies, mostly out of fear that the movie will fail and end up hurting the brand. But AICN has just learned that the studio is actually considering making a new Mickey movie, called "The Stooge," which will be an animated remake of the 1952 musical comedy, which starred Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. The remake will be a musical buddy comedy, starring Mickey in the Dean Martin role, and Roger Rabbit in the Jerry Lewis role. The film will incorporate five specific location from Disneyland and will introduce the Toon Train, an exciting way to travel through Toontown. The new movie will also include animated versions of such people as Orson Welles. Disney and Pixar are currently evaluating all the material and are already talking to writers and directors.

We've been hearing rumors for years regarding a potential sequel to the Robert Zemeckis hit Who Framed Roger Rabbit, but at the end of the day it very well could be another project that brings the titular cartoon bunny back to the big screen. The other day rumors were launched that a remake of the Dean Martin-Jerry Lewis comedy The Stooge was in the works with the lead characters set to be replaced by Mickey Mouse and Roger Rabbit. But as outlandish as that may sound, it turns out that it's actually true. Following on the heels of the rumor, which was launched by AICN, the great Gary K. Wolf, who created Roger Rabbit, wrote a letter to the site explaining that the movie is real and currently being pitched as a 100% animated film to Disney/Pixar. According to the author, the film would have many of the...

Who Framed Roger Rabbit? creator Gary K. Wolf has confirmed via his official website, pretending to be a "source" known as "Walter Windchill," that Walt Disney Studios is moving forward with a 3D animated/live-action remake of the 1952 comedy classic The Stooge that will team-up Mickey Mouse with Roger Rabbit in roles originated by Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. Take a look at the 'Disney Development Proposal' artwork for this project that is in active development, then read on for more information.

The Stooge, released in 1952, starred Dean Martin as a Broadway performer who finds success with a new vaudville act, although it is mainly because of the "stooge" (Jerry Lewis) he hires, who captures most of the spotlight. Mickey Mouse will play the Dean Martin character, with Roger Rabbit playing Jerry Lewis' stooge role.

The story is said to have the same kind of sensibilities as Pixar hits...
