Since it's summertime, I thought it'd be fun to take a look at a bygone movie subgenre: the beach party films of the 1960s. This video from the YouTube channel "The Royal Ocean Film Society" will tell you all about it.

Dean Martin's 8 Children: All About His Sons and Daughters

GET TO KNOW DEAN MARTIN’S EIGHT CHILDREN: CRAIG, CLAUDIA, GAIL, DEANA, DEAN PAUL, RICCI, GINA AND SASHA

By LYNSEY EIDELL 
Published on March 10, 2024

Dean Martin was a legendary talent — he rose to fame as part of a comedy duo with Jerry Lewis, left his mark on the world of television with The Dean Martin Show, recorded countless hits and starred in more than 50 movies throughout his decades-long career.

He was also a member of the famous Rat Pack with Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. and others, which gained him a reputation as an irresponsible party-goer. But that on-screen and onstage persona was nothing more than a gimmick, according to his children.

"He is not as out-to-lunch as his image makes him. The truth is that he is very complex. If he drank as much as everyone says he does, he would be dead," his son Dean Paul told PEOPLE in 1978. Rather, in real life, his children have said Dean was a dedicated father — reportedly making it home for dinner every night at 6 p.m. when the kids were young.

Dean's eight children came from three different marriages. He had a son, Craig, and daughters Claudia, Gail and Deana with his first wife, Betty McDonald. They divorced in 1949, and Dean married a model named Jeanne Biegger (later known as Jeanne Martin) the same year. The couple, who were married for 24 years, had three children together: sons Dean Paul and Ricci, and a daughter named Gina.

The crooner's third and final marriage was to Catherine Hawn; he adopted her daughter Sasha after their wedding in 1973. The singer died on Christmas Day in 1995 from respiratory failure — but his legacy lives on through his iconic work and his large family.

Here's everything to know about Dean Martin's eight children, Craig, Claudia, Gail, Deana, Dean Paul, Ricci, Gina and Sasha.

Craig Martin, 81

Dean's first child from his marriage to McDonald was a son named Craig, born June 29, 1942. Craig's early childhood was lived mainly out of the spotlight save for his parent's divorce in 1949 when he was around 7 years old. His father gained sole custody of Craig and his three siblings, who were raised by Dean's second wife, Jeanne, per The Hollywood Reporter.

Craig followed his father's footsteps into the entertainment industry, working as a television producer. He began his career in the late 1960s as a production coordinator on The Dean Martin Show. Craig is credited with working as a production supervisor and associate producer on the variety show as well as working as an associate producer in the late 1970s on the show Sha Na Na.

Through his work in television, Craig met Carole Costello — the daughter of another famous entertainer, Lou Costello. They were eventually married and remained together until Costello's death in March 1987 at the age of 48. She died of a stroke, just eight days after Craig lost his younger brother Dean Paul in a plane crash, per the Los Angeles Times.

Since those tragedies, Craig has lived a life of privacy. His sister Deana posted on X (formerly Twitter) in June 2022 to pay tribute to the eldest of the Martin clan. "Happy 80th birthday to my sweet brother Craig," she wrote, alongside an old image of the family.

Claudia Martin

Dean's eldest daughter, Claudia, was born on March 16, 1944.

As a child, Claudia was also bitten by the entertainment bug. She made her big screen debut in the 1956 film Hollywood or Bust, and later appeared in For Those Who Think Young, The Ghost in the Invisible Bikini and Ski Fever. Claudia also had roles on the television shows My Three Sons and The Donna Reed Show.

The actress married fellow performer Kiel Martin in 1969 and the couple had one child together, a daughter named Jesse. Following their divorce in 1971, Claudia was married three more times: to actor Vincent Lucchesi, Thomas Brown and lastly, Jim Roberts. She and Roberts moved to Reno, Nevada, where they opened a printing business together.

Claudia remained in Reno until her death in February 2001 from breast cancer — she was 56 years old.

Gail Martin Downey, 78

Dean and McDonald welcomed their third child, a daughter named Barbara Gail, on April 11, 1945. Gail — who goes by her middle name — has shared several recollections of what it was like being a part of such a large, famous family.

Growing up, Gail's best friend was Liza Minnelli, she babysat for a young Jamie Lee Curtis and she knew Frank Sinatra as her "uncle." Gail told Vanity Fair in 2009, "Somebody asked me a long time ago, 'So what's it like to be Dean Martin's daughter?' You want to say, finally, 'Compared to what?' I always was, you know?"

Dean's second-born daughter also took her turn in the entertainment industry as a singer, opening for her father's Las Vegas performances and touring around the country. But Gail abandoned her singing career early on to get married and raise a family. In 1968, at the age of 23, she married 42-year-old attorney Paul Polena in her parents' backyard in Beverly Hills. The couple had two daughters, named Cappy and Liza, according to her brother Ricci's book, That's Amore.

Gail and Polena eventually divorced, and she remarried newspaper columnist Mike Downey in Las Vegas in July 1999, per the Los Angeles Times. The pair reside in Rancho Mirage, California.

Deana Martin, 75

Dean's fourth and final child with McDonald was a daughter named Deana, born Aug. 19, 1948. In 2019, Deana told Fox News that her dad missed her birth because he was in Los Angeles performing with Lewis at the famed nightclub Slapsie Maxie's.

The constant presence of Hollywood stars in her life — particularly Rat Pack members Sinatra and Davis Jr. — inspired Deana to pursue an entertainment career herself. "Growing up, I was given tap, ballet and piano lessons. I guess performing was just in my genes. And, to tell you the truth, I think all the Martins are kind of hams," Deana told the Northeast Times in 2014.

She began by frequently performing on her father's variety show in the late 1960s, moving on to theater work and appearing in films including 1969's Young Billy Young and Strangers at Sunrise then Paesano: A Voice in the Night in 1975. Deana has also had an accomplished singing career, recording five albums between 2006 and 2016.

Throughout Deana's career, she's frequently paid tribute to her iconic father. Her first album, Memories Are Made of This, featured covers of several of Dean's most famous songs, including "Everybody Loves Somebody" and "That's Amore." She celebrated what would have been her father's 100th birthday with a show called Deana Sings Dino, which showcased her performing his hit music in Las Vegas and his hometown of Steubenville, Ohio. Deana also published a New York Times best-selling book in 2004 called Memories Are Made of This: Dean Martin Through His Daughter's Eyes.

"I have to recognize what Dean Martin did for the world, the joy he brought to everyone," she told the Los Angeles Times in 2017.

In her personal life, Deana wed film and music producer John Griffeth in 1990 after meeting on a blind date the year prior. The couple renewed their vows on their 25th wedding anniversary in 2015.

Dean Paul Martin Jr.

The first child from Dean's marriage to Jeanne was a son named Dean Paul Martin Jr., born Nov. 17, 1951. It didn't take long for Dino Jr. (as he was called growing up) to earn himself a reputation as a "golden boy."

"The problem with Dean is that he was too good at too many things," his friend Morgan Mason told PEOPLE in 1987.

Those things included tennis (he played as a child, at the University of Los Angeles and was ranked as a professional), singing (he had a rock band called Dino, Desi & Billy with friends Desi Arnaz Jr. and Billy Hinsche) and acting (he received a Golden Globe nomination for his role in the 1979 movie Players).

Dean Paul — as he was called as an adult — also tried his hand as a semi-professional football player, race car driver and pre-med student. The multihyphenate appeared to have found his calling when he became a pilot with the Air National Guard in 1981.

"I’m proud of him," Dean said of his namesake. "I’d be proud even if he didn’t become a jet pilot, because he’s a good boy. He just doesn’t know what he wants to be.”

In his personal life, Dean Paul was married twice. In 1971, when he was 19, he wed actress Olivia Hussey. The couple had a son together, named Alexander, and split after four years. In 1982, he wed Olympic figure skater Dorothy Hamill; they were divorced by 1984.

Tragedy struck in March 1987 when Dean Paul's plane crashed into the side of a mountain during a routine training exercise — he was just 35 years old. The death was said to have crushed his father.

Ricci Martin

Dean's sixth child and youngest son, Ricci, was born on Sept. 20, 1953. Like many members of his talented family, Ricci took to performing from an early age. "I grew up with it. Not that we would ever walk into the house and hear Dad's songs playing on the stereo. Or even Frank's. It was always someone else. But there was always music," he told the Deseret News in 2007.

Ricci released an album in 1977 titled Beached, in collaboration with Carl Wilson of The Beach Boys, and had a hit song called "Stop Look Around." By the late 1990s, Ricci began performing alongside his late brother Dean Paul's former bandmates Arnaz Jr. and Hinsche in the group Ricci, Desi & Billy — an homage to his older brother's former rock band.

In 2002, Ricci wrote a memoir titled That's Amore: A Son Remembers about growing up with his famous family in Beverly Hills. In the book, he recounted his 21st birthday party that was attended by the likes of John Lennon, Ringo Starr, Elizabeth Taylor, David Bowie and Elton John, per The Hollywood Reporter.

Ricci was married to Annie Rasmussen and the pair had three daughters, Pepper, Montana and Rio. In August 2016, the performer was found dead in his home at the age of 62.

At the time of his death, Ricci's older sister Deana posted a tribute on Facebook. "My family and I are devastated. He was one of the sweetest souls I have ever known," she wrote. "Ricci's kindness, sweetness and loving nature will be missed more than words can say."

Gina Martin, 67

The youngest child from Dean's marriage to Jeanne was a daughter named Gina, born on Dec. 20, 1956. Compared to her siblings, Gina has led a life relatively out of the spotlight. She appeared with her family on a holiday episode of The Dean Martin Show in 1967; 20 years later, Gina acted in a television movie called Action Family.

She wed Carl Wilson of The Beach Boys in 1987 after seven years of dating, according to Ricci's memoir, That's Amore. The wedding was "a nice glimmer of sunshine in what had been a gray season for our family" after the passing of Dean Paul earlier in the year, Ricci wrote.

Gina remained married to Wilson until his death from lung cancer in 1998, per the Los Angeles Times.

Sasha Martin

Dean married his third wife, Catherine, in 1973. She was a receptionist at a Beverly Hills hair salon and had a daughter named Sasha whom Dean adopted after their wedding.

"I never referred to her as my step-sister or adopted sister," Ricci wrote in That's Amore. "Through three marriages and eight kids, we were always one family. The Martins."

Catherine and Dean would eventually divorce in 1976, but the father-of-eight always made sure Sasha "was taken care of," according to Ricci's memoir.

Sasha would go on to have a brief career in acting, playing Marina Cooper on the soap opera Guiding Light from 1997 to 1999 and appearing in the 1997 film Private Parts as Howard Stern's daughter.

The beach romps of the 60s were in full swing in 1966, and when you still have Boris Karloff around, you can combine the two facts and create the teenage musical comedy The Ghost in the Invisible Bikini.

This Is Francis X. Bushman

More than just a punch line on THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES, Francis X. Bushman was one of the screen’s first credited male stars and, with Beverly Bayne, half of the screen’s first great love team. He also wrote and directed some of his starring vehicles and directed, adapted and starred in an acclaimed production of ROMEO AND JULIET (insisting the ctors learn Shakespeare’s lines even though it was silent) before scandal and a feud with Louis B. Mayer sent him plummeting into low-budget productions. In later years, the generosity of fans like Orson Welles, Groucho Marx and Bob Hope helped bring him back into the public eye. Lon Davis’ THIS IS FRANCIS X. BUSHMAN (2021, TCM) just barely misses being the tribute he deserves — it’s rather short and clearly low-budget — but it’s a good start. Bushman’s grandson, Chris Bushman, narrates, and though he reads the lines intelligently, he’s clearly not an actor. Generous excerpts from an interview with the star in 1957 bring a lot more energy to the soundtrack. The treasure, of course is the film clips. Most of Bushman’s films are lost, but those that remain show an actor who was at times surprisingly naturalistic for his era. In some clips there’s a startling contrast between his acting and that of his co-stars. It’s also a treat to see clips from the previously lost CHARGE OF THE GAUCHOS (1928) and the recently rediscovered CALL OF THE CIRCUS (1930), his first talking picture. I wish, however, they could have included something from his last film, THE GHOST IN THE INVISIBLE BIKINI (1966) instead of just dismissing it, particularly since there are interesting clips of his attempting to maintain his dignity (and act off a walking fence post) in his penultimate picture, THE PHANTOM PLANET (1961).

Chapter 7: A Passing Shower

Two pin-ups. Both boring. Let's move on.

(And wow, we got translated titles now! Cool.)

It's Fireworks Season (CAN THIS GAME GO A SINGLE DAY WITHOUT A FUCKING EVENT)! Shugo wants to watch a show irl but Rena demands they watch the virtual fireworks because...she has severe allergies that prevent her from going to the beach, I guess. Ouka comes up and Shugo immediately thinks he's gonna see some bikini-clad tits...and Ouka shows up in her dog form in an applauadable troll move.

Ouka comes bringing news about a hidden event. The gag was supposed to meet up with Hotaru later but---GO! GO AND LEAVE A NOTE IMPLYING YOU WERE RAPTURED!

At the Cursed And Deadly Secluded Forest Manor, Shugo and Mireille are ready for some horror. Rena...not so much. She's clearly freaked but puts on a brave face for her brother. Inside, they find a nice manor interior. Rena thinks a suit of armor winks at her somehow. Ouka hits and...it's just a suit of armor. Mireille outright calls her a pussy and Rena denies it. Her proof? Nearly killing her own twin brother over being spooked by Kamiya. Shugo wisely stays in his lane and ignores his twin sister's manslaughter.

Rena proceeds to break off the first rule of being in a haunted house: don't run off by yourself. Chasing her, Shugo and Mireille run into monsters called Invisibles. Shugo chops them down easily and runs off for his sister...surprising Mireille, who remembers that Invisibles are supposed to be pretty tough enemies. Is Shugo getting stronger? His general track record suggests...no.

Rena is still lost by herself, bemoaning how she wanted to keep her fear of spooky stuff a secret from Shugo. First, the insult comes when she walks into a torture chamber. Then the injury...she gets ambushed by a Lich Lord. Shugo jumps in to defend her with Mireille and Ouka in tow. Shugo recognizes the Lich Lord's element as Dark so he commands Mireille to hit it with Thunder spells and tells Ouka to focus on wearing down its HP. He then asks Rena to use her Hunter's Bane to increase all of their attack accuracies because wizard types are notoriously hard to hit. As Ouka and Mireille observes, our boy Shugo is becoming quite the Chad...an RPG Chad. The best kind of Chad. Rena observes that he's truly becoming like Kite.

They defeat the Lich and head back to Town Square, making back in time for the fireworks. Rena asks when Shugo suddenly transitioned from pull-ups to toilet training (i.e. how did he get so strong). Apparently Shugo been grinding offscreen. He's also checked out newsgroups, read the FAQs...all because he didn't want to rely on the bracelet too much. Rena asks why he decided to give a shit all of a sudden. Shugo smiles and says he promised her he'd be a hero. To keep us from experiencing actual pride in our protagonist, Shugo quickly mocks his sister for being afraid of ghosts. Rena brushes it off before reminding Shugo (and informing us) that entrance exams are coming up so their days playing .hack are numbered. Shugo thinks about Aura for a second...before Hotaru shows up to catch the fireworks. Sadly, it looks like there's going to be no fireworks because it's raining. Despite being Emperor of Trolls, long may he reign, it turns out the rain wasn't Balmung's doing. The background music changes too. Everybody hears it...and the chapter ends with everybody seeing Aura.

THOUGHTS:

Finally, a decent chapter again.

Shugo's development feels kinda rushed and forced (in the "let's make this kid strong enough to last against the next enemy without questions being asked" kind of way) but it's nice to see him being allowed to be competent for once. And those are realistic methods to improve in a game in a short time in real life. Plus, nice sibling moment with no incest subtext! I didn't know they knew how to do that.

#.hack #.hack//legend of the twilight #good show #jolly good show #now that aura is here #perhaps something will happen? #ain't holding my breath though
