Dean Martin

Dean Martin perfected what I consider the hardest trick in entertainment: making absolute mastery look effortless. The tipsy persona, the half-lidded charm, the apparent indifference were all meticulous craft disguised as laziness. He held his own against Jerry Lewis's chaos in their legendary duo and against Sinatra's gravity in the Rat Pack, always the coolest man in the room. Coming from a working-class Ohio steel town, he never let the effort show, and I think erasing visible effort is the most demanding art of all. His coolness endures because it never begged for approval. The King of Cool earned the crown by acting like he never wanted it.
