Jeanne Martin (March 27, 1927 - August 24, 2016) was born in Coral Gables, Florida as Dorothy Jean Biegger. While she was an Orange Bowl Queen (1947) and appeared in A Star Is Born World Premiere (1954), I Love Lucy: The Fashion Show (1955), The Dean Martin Show (1965) and E! True Hollywood Story (1996), she is primarily known for her marriage to entertainer Dean Martin (1917 - 1995).
They were married from September 1, 1949 to February 14, 1973. They had three children: Dean Paul Martin (1951 - 1987), Ricci Martin (1953 - 2016), and Gina Martin.
She died on August 24, 2016 in Beverly Hills, California just three weeks after the death of her son, Ricci. She is buried at Westwood Village Memorial Park not far from Dean Martin's crypt.
I thought Patti couldn't stand Jeanne? Maybe just another one of those showbiz tales.
