　　I loved being called Deana Martin. Even when I was very small.

Dad was such a positive influence on people’s lives that to be so

closely associated with him was always a blessing. People can’t

help but smile when they think of my father, which has to be the

greatest legacy of all. When people hear my name for the first

time, they usually ask the same question: “Any relation?” “Yes,” I

reply proudly, “he’s my father.” They smile and cry, “Oh, I love

your father! I’ve loved him all my life.” Sometimes, just

sometimes, they ask me the most important question of all: “Was he

a good father?” To their surprise, I shake my head and smile. “No,”

I reply. “He wasn’t a good father, but he was a good man.” Where

Dad came from, that meant a great deal more.

So begins Deana Martin’s captivating and heartfelt memoir of her

father, the son of an Italian immigrant from modest beginnings who

worked his way to the top of the Hollywood firmament to become one

of the greatest stars of all time.

Charming, debonair, and impeccably attired in a black tuxedo,

Dean Martin was coolness incarnate. His music provided the

soundtrack of romance, and his image captivated movie and

television audiences for more than fifty years. His daughter Deana

was among his most devoted fans, but she also knew a side of him

that few others ever glimpsed.

In page-turning prose, Deana recalls her early childhood, when

she and her siblings were left in the erratic care of Dean’s loving

but alcoholic first wife. She chronicles the constantly changing

blended family that marked her youth, along with the unexpected

moments of silliness and tenderness that this unusual Hollywood

family shared. Deana candidly reveals the impact of Dean’s fame and

characteristic aloofness on her efforts to forge her own identity,

but delights in sharing wonderful, never-before-told stories about

her father and his pallies known as the Rat Pack. It may not have

been a normal childhood, but Deana’s enchanting account of life as

the daughter of one of Hollywood’s sexiest icons will leave you

entertained, delighted, and nostalgic for a time gone by.

“From her heart, Deana Martin has told a frank and honest account

of what her life was like with her famous father and family. It has

been a wild ride, with lots of ups and downs, written with honesty,

love, and understanding.” —Regis Philbin

“Dean Martin was the unique star who attained success in all of

the entertainment media—movies, TV, recordings, concerts, and

radio. His daughter Deana gives us something else that is also

unique in this revealing book about growing up as the daughter of a

true legend. Here’s to you Dean. I’ve got the booze, you get the

ice.” —Don Rickles

“I have to say I loved reading what Deana wrote—maybe because she

bit the bullet, she was courageous, up-front, tenacious, and so

totally forthright. I read it with tremendous pride and love, and I

know other readers will feel the same emotions I felt. I love this

author for a myriad of reasons, but especially for how she has

honored my partner.”—from the Foreword by Jerry Lewis
