protests have fallen on deaf ears. "Dean thinks the whole thing is good 'show business' and he won't stop it. He originally got the idea from Phil Harris, who has always been one of his idols." Xhis one point aside, Jeanne Martin thinks her famous husband is a very funny man. "Dean is as big a kick around the house as when he's performing before an auditorium full of people." she says. "There's one thing that's required if you're a member of the Martin family — a good sense of humor. You couldn't live in our house without it. In my opinion, it's a pretty nice way to live. With all the youngsters around, things do get a little frantic now and then. But, somehow, everyone manages to survive. "People are always asking me about the children. Dean has four by his previous marriage and we've had their custody since 1957. Then we have our three youngest, which all adds up to a big, happy family. It usually flips people when I tell them we use seventy-eight quarts of milk a week and about fifty loaves of bread! Dean clowns around with the kids, but he doesn't let them get away with anything. He's strict when it's necessary, but he's never a tyrant. And you can be sure they respect him." One day, a pal noted that Dean ap peared to have lost a little weight. "I had to. I'm in training to keep up with my kids," Dino said cheerfully. "A while back, I noticed I was getting just a little flabby. When my kids punched me in the stomach, I could feel it. So I've been exercising like crazy. I've got all the gym equipment set up in our cellar — a medicine ball, bicycle, the whole ravioli. I'm in pretty good shape now. Go ahead, punch me," Dean urged. Another friend thinks that Dean would rather have a good laugh from his children than wow the most sophisticated audience on earth: "I recall one day when Dean was sitting around with the youngsters and he happened to sneeze. Dean noticed that this fascinated the baby, so he sneezed again — and, from a sitting position, threw himself halfway across the room. Then he did some other funny bits of business, some pratt falls and a few rolls on the floor. All the time keeping up a steady stream of funny comments. The kids were wild with delight. No wonder they think their old man is the greatest!" Jeanne Martin admits it took plenty of adjustments on both sides before she and Dean settled down to peaceful co-existence. "I had to learn not to let my feelings get hurt too easily. For instance, Dean used to be so forgetful, especially when working long, hard hours. During our first five years as husband and wife, he forgot my birthday three times. He still doesn't recall our anniversary unless I remind him. And, I swear, once he even forgot Christmas." But Dino obviously loves his home. "I should," he quips, "it takes enough dough to run it." Actually, the Martins have two homes — one in Palm Springs, and the large, tastefully furnished place in Beverly Hills, complete with tennis court, swimming pool and all the other trimmings that Dean's $uccess has made possible. A studio acquaintance once asked Dino where he lived. "I live in the best, the most beautiful house in Beverly Hills," he replied. "Oh, yeah?" his questioner teased. "Tell me, just why is it the best and most beautiful?" "Because it's mine," Dean answered simply. Despite his casual, glib manner, Dean Martin really has a great sense of responsibility— to himself, as well as to others. He has gone through some bitter and unhappy periods in the past, but his wife feels that the man of those days is gone forever. As the lads in The Clan might phrase it: From here on in, Old Dino should find it all "ring-a-ding-ding." And you can bet he'll raise his glass to that.
