Lewis was born Albert Meister, probably in 1923, although he insisted that he was born in 1910. This, and Lewis's many other questionable stories, means that much of the actor's life is a broth of conjecture that his fans will no doubt squabble over for years to come.... He is survived by his second wife, Karen, and by three sons from his first marriage.

He is survived by his second wife, Karen, and by three sons from his first marriage.
