tennis, anyone? Stella Stevens in The Nutty Professor 1963

Actress Stella Stevens played Stella Purdy in The Nutty Professor back in 1963. Iconic slapstick comedic actor Jerry Lewis had the leading role(s) as Professor Julius F. Kelp, Buddy Love, Baby Kelp in the 1963 version of The Nutty Professor. For those who don’t know this classic storyline, Lewis plays a professor plagued by insecurity who mixes up his own formula for an alter-ego far more outgoing than his own. Of course, now he has a split personality issue to deal with and the formula wears off at inopportune times, often to Kelp’s humiliation… all while pursuing a love interest. So as you can imagine, hijinks ensue. H/T Groovy History >
