Jerry Lewis didn’t have a good relationship with his children during his life, and he let them know just how bad it was in death.
Lewis’ last will and testament – which was executed in 2012 – states, “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.” Those were his children with his first wife, Patti Palmer, to whom he was married from 1944 to 1980. They had six kids, but Joseph died of a drug overdose in 2009.
So who’ll get the late comedian’s estate? His widow, SanDee Pitnick and their 25-year-old adopted daughter, Danielle. They married in 1983 and they adopted Danielle in 1992.
