The story of entering the Hollywood’s golden age, and strains of love and perseverance characterize the life of Jeanne Biegger. She may not have been as famous as her husband, Dean Martin or her brother, Jerry Lewis, but she was an essential element of one of the greatest families in entertainment business. It is time to take a closer look at the life of this great woman who stayed beside the ‘’King of Cool.’’
Early Life
The president of the ICPF and the founder of the company, Jeanne Biegger was born in Coral Gables, Florida, on March 27, 1927. Her early childhood years were filled with enjoyment of the coastal lifestyle, which helps to build in her the laid-back attitude needed when getting into a Hollywood life of moving at the speed of light.
Jeanne from childhood could turn heads due to her delicate appearance, and she was beautiful as any young girl. She was overwhelmingly beautiful both inside and out, intelligent, practical, and of course funny, which in the end led her to meet one of the talents in the entertainment industry.
Books a woman could read and knowledge she gained were relevant for a young lady of her time – how to run a household and provide for children. But she lacked nothing in the brains department, and she seemed to have an inherent curiosity regarding the things around her.
She went for reading and news updates so as to have a good perception over the world which could be of benefit to her when dealing with people in Hollywood social life.
Career
Jeanne Biegger did not follow the standard path of carving out an illustrious career for herself in Hollywood. The most important thing that she had to do was building a comfortable home, not an easy job when Dean was usually busy with his work or surrounded by the things that fame brings.
In fact, Jeanne’s social roles can only be referred to a Hollywood wife and a mother. She was responsible for managing the household, child rearing, and most importantly being a pillar to Dean as he further on his acting career.
Spouse: Dean Martin
Jeanne Biegger was never the same after 1949 when she first encountered Dean Martin. Gatlin a 27-year-old singer and comedian at the time was performing in night clubs together with his partner, Jerry Lewis.
When it comes to sexual chemistry, two people who met with Jeanne and Dean were effervescent, giving each other sparking feelings. Although Dean became famous, and Ray was ambitious for herself and was making vast progress in career, the two got severely involved in love.
Jeanne and Dean exchanged vows on September 1, 1949, planning to spend nearly a quarter of the century together. Jeanne was able to provide the stability for Dean to continue with his career, while Dean offered Jeanne a life full of love, adventure and the basic crazy stresses that come a marriage with a celebrity.
