shareWhat !? One of the Rat Pack !? I don't believe it !
is he considered part of the rat pack? news to me
share" Originally, the Rat Pack was a group of friends centered around the group’s leader, Humphrey Bogart. The original members included Errol Flynn, Nat King Cole, Mickey Rooney, Jerry Lewis and Cesar Romero. "
Not a lot of people know that !

Were there two Rat Packs, one centered around Bogart, and the other around Sinatra? Or did membership in the original group shift and change until it morphed into Sinatra's gang of assholes?
Either way, I totally believe that Jerry Lewis would grope an actress. He wasn't a manchild in real life, he was an unpleasant egomaniac who fathered six legitimate children.
That link has some interesting trivia.
"Dean Martin read only one book in his entire life - Black Beauty"
I'm surprised Jerry would be in the "original" rat pack and not Dean. They were a big act together. But everything I stumble across suggests Jerry was a first-class jerk and Dean was the nicest guy around...
I believe he was an unpleasant person in real life. Bit late to complain about his groping now!
