Dean Martin built a reputation for himself as a heavy-drinker and the-life-of-the-party dude, but it is quite the opposite. Not only that he hates parties, but he also consumed booze moderately. In fact, he was always the first to call it a night when he's out drinking with friends. And while it seems that he always has a drink in his hands during live performances, the glass contains apple juice most of the time.
Dean Martin got one of his most memorable roles in Rio Bravo opposite John Wayne through the recommendation of his friend Montgomery Clift, who turned down the part.
