Oh, and FYI DollarTimes says 75K in 1962 equates to nearly $630,000 today. Even to The Rat Pack that ain't exactly pocket change.

And she said that she had several of his friends off to pay it off.

They still use some of his camera tricks to this day, he was not only funny he was technically ahead of his time. He was also the first one to do things like use the credits as part of the joke, like adding in fake credits, or random things during the credits, something Deadpool was very successful with many decades after the fact.
