TRIVIA:

Claims to have never seen _Hollywood or Bust (1956)_ (qv), the last film he made with his partner, 'Dean Martin (I)' (qv), saying it's much too painful for him to watch.
He once played first base in an exhibition game for 5 innings for the Houston Astros .
He is known as a clothes horse. He gives away suits rather than having them cleaned and refuses to wear a pair of socks more than once.
His idol is 'Al Jolson' (qv).
'Sammy Davis Jr.' (qv) called him the "greatest white faker" as a dancer.
Diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis in 2001.
Was one of the co-hosts of what may have been the only Academy Awards ceremony that actually ended earlier than expected, by almost twenty minutes - _The 31st Annual Academy Awards (1959) (TV)_ (qv). He and several other celebrities gallantly tried everything they could to improvise and fill the extra time. NBC mercifully cut the broadcast short to air a short film about target shooting until the next scheduled program began, which in most cases was the local news.
Father of six sons with his first marriage and a daughter with his second.
