Dean Martin

Dean Martin died Christmas Day, 1995 and was interred in the Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in Westwood, California. Although Dale still often performs under the Missing Persons name with hired touring players, the band has declared that there will be no further reunions. Martin was devastated by the loss, which led to further deterioration of his health. A TV appearance and three successful shows were put on in late 2002 and early 2003 (with drummer Joe Travers standing in for Terry Bozzio), but finally Cuccurullo declined to participate any further. Tragedy struck on March 21, 1987 when his 35-year-old son, Dean Paul Martin, an actor, singer (in the group Dino, Desi, & Billy), and former tennis pro, was killed when the National Guard jet he was piloting crashed. Two attempted additional concerts were cancelled at the last minute when first Terry and then Dale left the project. He was married three times and had eight children, one by adoption. The new Missing Persons, consisting of original members Warren Cuccurullo and Dale and Terry Bozzio, with new keyboardist Ron Poster and bassist Wes Wehmiller, did some promotional activities and live performances in July of 2001, but the reunion did not last long.

He appeared in fifty-one films in all. In May of 2001, he formally left Duran Duran (who were planning a reunion with their own original guitarist and drummer). Martin finally retired completely in 1988 when he became ill during a concert tour with surviving Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis, Jr. In December of 2000, Cuccurullo again began discussing a Missing Persons reunion with Dale Bozzio, and this time it seemed more likely to come to fruition.

From 1965 until 1974, he hosted the weekly variety show, The Dean Martin Show on NBC, but in the 1970s, his poor health and declining popularity generally restricted him to the stage. Rhyme and Reason and Color In Your Life were finally issued on CD in 2000.

He also starred in a series of four films as secret agent Matt Helm (1966–1969), including The Wrecking Crew (1969). This was followed up by a compilation of modern remixes of classic MP tracks, Missing Persons Remixed Hits (1999). In the 1960s, he was part of the Rat Pack and made a number of successful films with them. This resulted in the release of Late Nights Early Days in 1998, a live concert recorded in 1981, with the added 1980 studio track "Action/Reaction". The partnership with Lewis broke up on July 24, 1956 and Martin surprised many when he went on to further success on his own. Beginning in 1997, Cuccurullo began a campaign to get some of the early Missing Persons material reissued. They later appeared on The Colgate Comedy Hour, a variety show that they would occasionally host from 1950-1955. A proposed 1994 Missing Persons reunion never came to fruition.

He first teamed up with Jerry Lewis July 25, 1946 at Club 500 in Atlantic City, New Jersey and the two created a successful stage comedy routine. Cuccurullo went on to perform as guitarist for Duran Duran for over a decade, as well as record several solo albums.

Cannonball Run II (1984).
