Jerry Lewis, the legendary character actor and physical comedian, has died, his talent agency said Sunday. He was 91. Lewis's agent Jeff Witjas confirmed that he died at his home in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The multi-faceted star was arguably best known as the funnier half of slapstick comedy duo Martin and Lewis, which he formed with singer Dean Martin. The two talents began their partnership at the legendary 500 Club in Atlantic City in 1946 before hitting the big time at New York City's Copacabana Club.
