Despite his victory in court, Dow-Corning's subsequent bankruptcy left him unable to recoup the $5,000,000 his firm has spent on physicians and other expert witnesses. This forced his firm, not him personally, to seek bankruptcy protection in December, 1995, just months before his death. 3 The flamboyant attorney represented such celebrities as Mae West , Muhammad Ali , Jim Bakker & Tammy Faye Bakker , Errol Flynn , Beverly Aadland , Tony Curtis , Lenny Bruce , Zsa Zsa Gabor , Chuck Berry , Alex Haley , Nick Nolte , Lana Turner and The Rolling Stones . Though he won more than $600 million in damages for his clients, keeping a third for himself as commission, he filed for bankruptcy the year he died. 4 His son, Caesar Belli (full name Melvin Caesar Belli ), now a personal injury lawyer, appeared with his father Melvin in the Star Trek (1966) episode Star Trek: And the Children Shall Lead (1968). 5 As an attorney, he defended Jack Ruby , the man who shot Lee Harvey Oswald , the assassin of President John F.
