LOS ANGELES, Jerry Lewis received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the ICG Publicists Awards Luncheon at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, Beverly Hills onFebruary 28, 2014.


Steven Poster, ASC, president of the ICG, said: “Lewis is “a national treasure who has provided generationsworldwide with decades of laughs. The money he has raised for the Muscular Dystrophy Association and ‘Jerry’’s Kids’ is simply astounding. Jerry is also one of the main reasons I wanted to get into show business when I was a child.””


“Jerry Lewis has achieved what few other performers have – success in movies, television and live performances.” said Awards Committee chairman Henri Bollinger. “This is due in large measure to his enormous talent, of course, but also because of his uncanny appreciation and knowledge of the importance of publicity in attracting audiences.”


At the age of 86, Lewis stepped back in front of the cameras as the star of the upcoming feature Max Rose. Written and directed by Daniel Noah, “Max Rose” premiered in the official lineup of the 2013 Cannes Film Festival. It co-stars Kerry Bishé, Kevin Pollak, Claire Bloom, Dean Stockwell, Fred Willard and Mort Sahl.
