If you haven't witnessed Jack Lemmon's performance in The China Syndrome, you really must. He is SO incredibly good, you can see what he's going through by the look on his face.
Jack Lemmon was a national treasure.
Lemmon is being modest. He was a member of the Harvard class of 1947, where he was in Navy ROTC and the Dramatic Club. Afterward he actually served as a Navy ensign
Just a couple of years after this show, I worked at a fancy hotel as a valet and Jack Lemmon was staying there to attend a local celebrity golf tournament. He pulled up in a brand new Mercedes Benz and I helped him take his golf clubs and luggage out of the trunk and I parked his car. He was very nice, so that's my story on him.
Jack told a story on Carson's show about visiting Edmond Gwenn at a nursing home when he was in palliative care. He knew how much discomfort Mr. Gwenn was in and said so. Mr. Gwenn said "yes, dying is hard, but not as hard as acting in a comedy". He had just finished saying this and then died right then and there. Heard that story once 40 years ago and just the way Jack told it made it unforgettable.
"It's hard enough to write a good drama, it's much harder to write a good comedy, and it's hardest of all to write a drama with comedy. Which is what life is." Jack Lemmon
I love listening to Jack tell a story. It doesn't matter what the story is or if the story has any merit or not, Jack tells it so well it just doesn't matter. He was such a delight to listen to. We miss you Jack, but your legacy will outlive us all.
If there's one thing Mister Roberts taught me, it's that Vodka+Coke+Hair Tonic+Iodine=Red Label
Lemmons Best Film is ‘The Apartment ‘!
Any of you that haven't seen Mr. Roberts, do yourselves a favor and watch it, a very funny movie.
Lemmon was pure class and one of the best actors ever. RIP
Jack Lemmon the most natural actor . Students should study him , he is outstanding . Watch his movies .
Couldn't pay this man enough today to act. Unbelievable talent.
"Salivary agreement." Very good, Mr. Cavett. Very good indeed
"Salivary agreement" Man, Cavett was so quick, so sharp. These interviews were such intelligent conversations.
The most underrated actor (considering he won two Oscars) in Hollywood from the late 50s to the late 90s ... an incredible body of work!
Here I am at 2pm september 21’ watching Dick Cavett’s shows one after the other. I LOVE Jack Lemonn . What a complete talent🙏🙏🙏
Back when talk show hosts were good interviewers who listened with interest, reacted genuinely and let their guests tell their stories without slapping the table and laughing hysterically. Dick Cavett was awesome, and Jack Lemmon...I have no words.
God bless Dick Cavett! During the many iterations of his talk shows, he interviewed those that were at the apex of their professions. Painters, writers, actors, musicians, directors...a cornucopia of creative people. His knowledge and interviewing style were unmatched on network TV. Here on UA-cam, viewers can see an historical parade of intellectual conversations and talented artists. Thanks a million, Dick!
The actors of that era and Dick always got the best stories from them ... priceless!
