If you are like me, you first became aware of Tony Martin, though The Marx Brothers movie, The Big Store (1941). In that film Martin even received equal onscreen billing with The Marx Brothers. However this was only a small part of Martin's career. Besides appear in many more films, he was also a very popular singer. He scored dozens of hits beginning in the 1930's and going through the 1950's. However he continued his singing career clear into the early 2000's, when he was in his 90's. For 60 years he was married to movie actress and dancer Cyd Charrise (who pretty much any classic film fan should know). They remained married until her death in 2008.
