Well, folks, this is a story that might leave you scratching your head. Just over a month after the legendary Jerry Lewis passed away at the age of 91, it's come to light that the comedian deliberately left his six children from his first marriage out of his final will and testament. In documents obtained by The Blast on September 21, Jerry clearly stated that his fortune should go to his wife, SanDee Pitnick, and that his six eldest children would inherit nothing. It’s a move that has sparked quite a bit of conversation.

Let me break it down for you. The will, which Jerry signed back in 2012, reads, “I have intentionally excluded Gary Lewis, Ronald Lewis, Anthony Joseph Lewis, Christopher Joseph Lewis, Scott Anthony Lewis, and Joseph Christopher Lewis and their descendants as beneficiaries of my estate, it being my intention that they shall receive no benefits hereunder.” That’s pretty clear, isn't it? It’s like Jerry wanted to make sure there was no misunderstanding about his wishes.

The Children Left Behind

Now, let's talk about Jerry's six kids from his first marriage to singer Patti Palmer: Gary, 71, Ronald, 68, Scott, 61, Christopher, 60, Anthony, 58, and Joseph, who tragically passed away at 45 from a drug overdose in October 2009. These children were part of Jerry's life during his marriage to Patti, which lasted from 1944 until 1980. After their divorce was finalized, Jerry found love again with Las Vegas dancer SanDee, whom he married in February 1983. Together, they adopted their only child, Danielle Sara Lewis, in 1992 when she was born. Danielle, now 25, became a significant part of Jerry's later years.
