One of my favorites! Such an amazing and entertaining actor! There will never be another like him. RIP Jack Lemmon. Thank you for all of the cinematic memories! 😎👍🎉🎊🙏❤️
Jack Lemmon was and is one of my very favorite actors. He was so versatile that he could play anything, and he had the good fortune to be respected and beloved by so many of the people he worked with. It's so very sad that he's gone.
16:14 the restaurant scene! One of the best Hollywood pieces ever! I saw that more than a dozen times... ...and still tearing my öaughters! The mimic of Walter peaks this masterpiece to the top. 😎
I wished that they would show these AFI tributes in their entirety. I love to see some of my favorite actors and actresses being recognized by such a prestigious organization such as the AFI. 🎉❤
Isn't UTube just awesome! I've seen several of the the whole shows that used to be edited for TV. Keep checking as I'm sure there will be many more here in future!
That was a very good speech from Jack, showing his certainty in and the delight he felt in acting, and was as good as any of the speeches he made in any film. I always loved his performances because he comes across as a natural actor who does it without trying, even though that makes it sound like it was easy for him, and that he didn't have to put in effort, which of course will not be the case. I don't think he ever gave a performance that was less than "very good", and mostly way above that. Whenever his films are shown on TV (rarely now), I always set the box to record them, as he's always worth watching in anything. :-)
@@olivegreen337Not really, it had some funny moments. "Days of Wine and Roses" (1962), was sad and depressing. A great movie, nonetheless. One of Jack Lemmon's best performances, and one of director Blake Edwards' best films.
I don't understand the a f I life achievement award had ignore these great actors charles chaplin laurence olivier richard widmark john wayne gene hackman Sylvester Stallone charlton heston and so many others is unthinkable
They gave this award to this ham and didn't give it to John Wayne, Charlie Chaplin, Cary Grant, Burt Lancaster, Robert Mitchum, Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Olivia de Havilland, Jean Arthur, Sophia Loren, Deborah Kerr... Unbelievable!!
I think the main reason is because this once MOST prestigious award only began in 1974 and is only presented once a year. So they did give it to Hitchcock, James Stewart, John Ford, Bette Davis, Henry Fonda, Orson Welles, Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Barbara Stanwyck, Sidney Poitier, Billy Wilder, Greg Peck, Kirk Douglas and James Cagney in the early years. The great stars that you mentioned all died or were getting too infirm before they could get a chance to be honored. I have no doubt that John Wayne, Audrey Hepburn, Ingrid Bergman and Cary Grant would have been honored, if they hadn't passed. Katharine Hepburn turned it down of course. They had plenty of time to honour De Havilland, it's true. Sinatra was probably considered too controversial. Sophia Loren, with all due respect, doesn't have an impressive filmography or any living costars! Then the broadcast started honoring people to attract viewers. Tom Hanks, Harrison Ford, Meryl - 20 years too soon, Jack Nicholson, Pacino, Michael Douglas, Diane Keaton, Deniro, Denzel, Jane Fonda, Shirley MacLaine, Nicole Kidman - all of them were worthy recipients, unlike some other years. Elizabeth Taylor, Streisand, Clooney and Julie Andrews didn't really deserve it for their film work IMO.

No mention of Ernie Kovacs? I believe Jack was good friends, and made a few movies with Kovacs before he knew or even met Walter …
Did Matthau speak? I missed that.
yes he did for a few mi utes

Ginger Rogers never got this award either …
Neither did Richard Widmark or Glenn Ford …
Ginger Rogers didn't? That's terrible.

That’s the thing about comedy…it looks so easy. It is not…

What a ridiculous remark! Ham?? Have you been paying attention?
@@patwooster3851 yes by all means. Can you name ONE classic movie with Steve Martin or the same with George Clooney?.
It’s not just about classics.
Which I love, don’t get me wrong. I too think about actors not honored with this award in their lifetime, but…
