1980s 1987youtube

RAT PACK STAR NEVER RECOVERED AFTER LOSING HIS SON IN 1987, DEAN MARTIN'S SON, DEAN PAUL MARTIN, DIED IN A MILITARY JET CRASH AT AGE 35. AUTHOR WILLIAM KECK REVEALS IN HIS BOOK THAT THE LOSS OF HIS "GOLDEN BOY" SHATTERED THE LEGENDARY SINGER AND ACTOR. "MARTIN'S FINAL YEARS WERE SAD, LIKE A CANDLE WITHOUT A FLAME," SAYS KECK. THE STAR ROUTINELY VISITED THE SAME RESTAURANT, DRESSED IN THE SAME CLOTHES, QUIETLY EATING "CLAMS CASINO" ALONE. --- #DEANMARTIN #RATPACK #HOLLYWOODLEGEND #TRAGEDY #FATHERANDSON
