Dean Paul Martin (born Dino Paul Crocetti; June 7, 1917 – December 25, 1995) was an American singer, actor, comedian, and film producer.
One of the most popular and enduring American entertainers of the mid-20th century, Martin was nicknamed the "King of Cool" for his seemingly effortless charisma and self-assurance. He and Jerry Lewis were partners in the immensely popular comedy team "Martin and Lewis". He was a member of the "Rat Pack" and a star in concert stage/nightclubs, recordings, motion pictures, and television. He was the host of the television variety program The Dean Martin Show (1965–1974) and The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast (1974–1985).
Martin's relaxed, warbling crooning voice earned him dozens of hit singles including his signature songs "Memories Are Made of This", "That's Amore", "Everybody Loves Somebody", "You're Nobody till Somebody Loves You", "Sway", "Volare", and "Ain't That a Kick in the Head?".
Martin was born on June 7, 1917 in Steubenville, Ohio, to an Italian father, Gaetano Alfonso Crocetti (1894–1967), and an Italian-American mother, Angela Crocetti (née Barra; 1899–1966). They were married in 1914. His father, who was a barber, was originally from Montesilvano, in Abruzzo, and his maternal grandparents' origins are believed to be also from Abruzzo even if it is not clearly known. Martin had an older brother named William Alfonso Crocetti (1916-1968). Martin's first language was an Abruzzese dialect of Italian, and he did not speak English until he started school at the age of 5. He attended Grant Elementary School in Steubenville where he was bullied for his broken English. He later took up the drums as a hobby as a teenager. Martin then dropped out of Steubenville High School in the 10th grade because he thought he was smarter than his teachers. He bootlegged liquor, served as a speakeasy croupier, was a blackjack dealer, worked in a steel mill and boxed as a welterweight.

Red Roses (Welsh: Rhos-goch, "red moor") is a village in Carmarthenshire, Wales.
Situated in south-west Carmarthenshire, bordering with Pembrokeshire, it forms part of the Eglwyscummin Community area with Ciffig and Marros which in turn forms part of the Laugharne Township ward. The village is situated around the main route to south Pembrokeshire, the A477, and the B4314 which is one of the main routes to the once popular holiday resort of Pendine.
Surrounded by farming land, the village is near to a number of holiday destinations and has two caravan parks. The local young farmers group were instrumental in creating a memorial garden resiting the memorial stone that lay very close to the main trunk road. A community centre, built in 2008, now occupies the site where an old Methodist Chapel lay abandoned for some time. The local public house - the Sporting Chance, which at one time was named Llwyngwair Arms has been closed since early March 2014.
Red Roses is the debut album by singer AJ Rafael. It was released on June 7, 2011 by 37 Entertainment and distributed worldwide. Red Roses includes the single, "We Could Happen" and "Without You."

Ladd found success in film the 1940s and early 1950s, particularly in Westerns such as Shane (1953) and film noirs where he was often paired with Veronica Lake, such as This Gun for Hire (1942), The Glass Key (1942) and The Blue Dahlia (1946). Other notable credits include Two Years Before the Mast (1946), Whispering Smith (1949) and The Great Gatsby (1949).

His mother was English, from County Durham, and had migrated to the USA in 1907 when she was nineteen. His father died of a heart attack when Ladd was four. On 3 July 1918 a young Alan accidentally burnt down the family home while playing with matches. His mother relocated to Oklahoma City, where she married Jim Beavers, a housepainter (d 1936).
Alan Ladd was a good man.
He shot holes in the wigwams.
What would he say to the cavalry, now?
'I've got a touch of the Van Dammes.'
Here's another slug in your eye.
Catch you on the wagon again,
on the wagon again.
If you dance on the desert floor enough
Indians will come back like rain.
Bopping around on the ground like Hollywood made them
