Here are some pictures of Dean Martin with his family that come courtesy of my friend The One & Only International Bond Girl. Dino had four children (Craig, Claudia, Barbara & Deana) with his first wife Elizabeth Anne. He had three children (Dean Paul, Ricci & Gina) with his second wife Jeanne. He would later go on to adopt the daughter (Sasha) of his third wife Catherine. I thought these were some really cool pictures. It's great to see Dino as a family man. Family is very important. I do wonder what kind of dad he was. I've read his son Ricci's book, but never his daughter Deana's. I know they each paint a different picture of what life was like in the Martin home.
I love all of these pictures. The first one is my favorite. It reminds me of being with my dad.
ReplyDeleteThanks Phoebe. I'm glad you liked these pics. I thought it was cool to see Dino with his kids.

ReplyDeleteDeana Martin was on THE O'REILLY FACTOR last week talking about her book on family life in the Martin household. She said that her dad never had more than one drink a day.
ReplyDeleteHey Carol. Thanks for the comments. Nice hearing from you. Yeah, I saw Deana up there. It was great seeing her talk about her dad.
ReplyDeleteI HAVE ABOUT HALF OF THESE PALLIE, BUT THE ONES I HAVEN'T SEEN ARE SUCH A SWEET DINO SURPRISE. LOVE 'EM!
ReplyDeleteHey pallie Terri. I'm glad you could see all of these. I thought they were awesome. It's cool to see Dino with his family.
ReplyDeleteDino was a great father after he married Jeannie, with his first wife things were a little more difficult. He loved his family and was so devastated when his son died.
ReplyDeleteHey Mel. Thanks for the comments. You are so right. I do think it would have been cool to grow up in his family.
ReplyDeleteReally these are cool pics. How sweet Dino's children !!!
