Photos of the great film clown, Jerry Lewis. Although he’s now more famous for his work with the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) telethon, he has created a long legacy of movies, ranging from his early slapstick with Dean Martin to his later comedies (The Nutty Professor, etc.) to his serious films as well as work on Broadway.
