Opening Even More Doors For Him
Jerry Lewis got to piggyback off this success by doing even more work in the industry. He went on to release one movie a year. This went on until 1972. Aside from that, he hosted telethons to support muscular dystrophy causes from 1966 onwards. He had been very busy in those days. If you ask us, it is no surprise that he decided to go on a hiatus when the ‘70s rolled in.
Making His Way Back To The Limelight
In the ‘80s, Jerry Lewis made the decision to return to the spotlight. He decided to go about it differently once more. He did this with the help of The King of Comedy by Martin Scorsese. While he was cast to play a comedian, the character was a great foil to Rupert Pupkin, played by Robert De Niro.
