Dean Martin Comedy Hour Presentation Photo (8 X 10"). Professionally double matted and framed to 18 x 16". This unique color photo of Dean Martin and Bill Dana, the Reluctant Astronaut, is inscribed on the mat: " To Bill, You may "plan to cry a lot" but you sure make the rest of us laugh, Dino".

During the 1960�s and 1970�s Bill was a favorite guest on all the major television comedy and variety shows including the Ed Sullivan Show, the Steve Allen Show, the Hollywood Palace and the Tonight Show, among others. This photo depicts an Oct 20, 1966 appearance of Bill in his famed role as Jose the Astronaut, on the Dean Martin Show with the host, Dean Martin. For those of you too young to remember this time in history, you are looking at one of the two kings of TV who, with their contempories, were "must watch" TV and who made the whole country laugh and forget their troubles. Extensive uniform toning on the mats, but a unique memento of bygone times. Originally owned and prominently displayed by Bill Dana (Jose Jimenz). Most recently owned and enjoyed by Michael Orenstein. Also included is a 33 RPM LP titled "The First Man in Space Jose Jimenez". A live recoding of the comedian in action. The record is in its origional jacket. Ex. the Michael Orenstein Estate Collection.
Estimated Value $400 - 500.
