Jack Lemon is a fine actor and gentleman
🚬🧓🏻🥃NO HES NOT , BUTTHEAD
That’s why I wrote a song about him; see you tube, Joey Sanguine Songs: “ Tribute”😀
Bless him. He made some of the best movies ever!
👶🏻🥃 HIS MOVIES SUCK BIG TIME
Do you remember “ Tribute” in 1980? Stellar performance
From The Apartment to The China Syndrome...a wonderful actor, classy human and handsome man.
Such a great man and a wonderful actor! His performance in Glengarry Glen Ross is unforgettable. Thank you, Mr. Lemmon!
🥃😵 I WANNA SEE ACTOR AL HILL NOT LEMMON
I've seen this interview before and it just transports you away into another world the quality of life the quality man
What a great interviewer. Really great video.
Quite simply the greatest film actor of all time. The breadth of emotion and expression is peerless.
👨🏻🦰JACK LEMMON WAS THE WORST ACTOR OF ALL TIME
@@paulyricca3881how silly ! Can’t imagine how you say that
I had such a crush on Jack Lemmon when I was a girl. I still love him. He was so funny in The Odd Couple and so sad in The Days of Wine and Roses. The interviewer was alright but I wish he hadn’t rushed Jack and bustled him on to the next thing when Jack wasn’t finished answering. Jack was very accommodating and gracious. What a gentleman.
🚬👳🏻♂️🥃 MY HUSBAND LEFT ME AND JACK LEMMON WAS THE WORST ACTOR OF ALL TIME, YOURE WELCOME
One of the best. Could bust you up or make you cry. Loved Days of wine and roses.
Class act, period.
Jack Lemmon's son Chris looks just like him. I don't know how Jack and Walter Matthau were able to keep a straight face with each other. I don't think they're able to in heaven now.
Jack Lemon my favorite Hollywood actor of all time. I could watch The Apt.every single day and never grow tired of Jack's CC Baxter character. Best movie ever. I love all his work. He has left a great legacy on film. Wonderful actor and wonderful human being.
Wished I had seen all of his films I'll have to put it on my to do list to Simply watch each and every one because I learned from his films and I love the intensity and conviction with which he plays each r o l e remember liking a movie that he did called tribute which was a great film also have to agree so far from what I've seen so far the apartment is one of my favorites
The best actor in American cinema. Simply the greatest.
last night watched
an old award show
and he got up
played the piano
man he was so
good...
nobody ever said
he could play
and he can PLAY 🤗
Great actor !
Marvellous person !
Love Jack Lemon. I was a young girl and got to see him on Broadway with my parents in Tribute. He was wonderful.
Late 1990s. I'm about 8 y.o. and watching "Some like it hot" for the first time on TV. Cold winter night, Siberia, small town in the middle of nowhere. 90s were terrible in Russia, crimes all over our little place and the whole country (paradox, it rhymes with the beginning of the American film about the 30s). I can't describe the amount of happiness I got that night. This film is what a STORY should mean, timeless classic. Adored in Soviet Union and Russia till these days. Probably my favorite Hollywood film. And Mr. Lemmon made this movie legendary. Rest in piece, Sir, your Genius is eternal.
Legend
jack lemmon and walter matthau were two of my favorite actors. RIP ❤
👶🏻🖕🏻 U RIP , U STUMBLE BUM
When he died, It just happened that Jerry was in Chicago, We both started crying. TCM played Some like it Hot, The Apartment and Days of Wine and Roses. We were crying and laughing, choked down a few tears. I don't think I have cried that hard in my life!
ABSOLUTELY loved him in "Some Like It Hot" comic genius in it, doesn't matter how many times I watch it, he never ceases to make me laugh x
Excellent interview! I love Jack so much. Thank you for uploading the interview!❤️❤️❤️
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love him, imagine having a husband like Lemon ♥️ It's funny, when I was young I didn't notice him but now I look up everything he has done and interviews etc...
He was just the cutest guy ever hard not to love him I bet loads of women would have loved to have been married to him I would off he was classic xx❤
Loved all his movies !
I've always loved him now even after this interview I can see why I had this affinity for him. There's true redeeming value hard worker with high aspirations and Inspirations he just touches my heart. Jack Lemmon is if there was a list of who is one of the best oh, he definitely comes to mind
What a great interview with this star...... His story really is inspiring..
..
By watching the thumbnail i thought it was Brando for 2 seconds. But both are god gifted actors.
What an amazing man
So many wonderful comments here! I even don't know what to add - agree with all, he's incredible actor and gentlemen!!! I watching all his movie and interview...I can watch it forever!!! Just love!💖💖💖💖💖
How lovely it is to hear an intelligent conversation, sans cursing. These were times when people automatically held themselves to reach a higher plane. He was a true and charitable person. He never took himself too seriously. One young writer, whose name I don't remember, was invited to a cocktail party. It was full of bigwigs, and crowded. He knew no one and vice-a-versa. Then the famous Jack Lemmon came over to him and spoke with this young man at length. That is the definition of "class." RIP, Jack.
👱🏻♂️HEY GRANDPA U SPELL KLASS WIT A “K”
He was such a wonderful actor. He could bring you to tears and also be a delightful comic actor. I still can have tears come to my eyes when I remember him ( and Lee Remick who was amazing) in the Days of Wine and Roses.
Love him !!!!! The best
Saw him in person in Beverly Hills in 1975 and was to shy to greet him ❤️
Awesome man....thanks for this.
A truly great person, personality, and actor. one of the best EVER.
In my opinion Jack lemmon was the best actor of his generation or any generation for that matter.
Thank you John was my father's cousin louie lemmon it was so sad when he passed
what an amazing actor and a wonderful human being he was. loved so many of his movies especially The Apartment and Some Like it Hot. Can never forget him. xxxxx
To hear him talk about being an alcohol an the pain I his eyes when he admitted that Mae me almost cry. What a lovely man.Glenngary Glenn Ross was his swan song. Amazing.....
Jack was one of the best!
Thanks for this lovely interview! It confirms what an intelligent, elegant and charming man was behind such a tremendous actor. Jack Lemmon could excel in comedy as well as in drama movies!
thank you for
posting this
Jack Lemon was
one great actor
he had an honesty
about him
What was the movie
he played golf ⛳
Will Smith I think
was in it ??
great actor
I just love this great man ❤❤❤❤
Thanks for posting this comprehensive interview. Jack Lemmon is one of the best actors of all time, IMO. I've re-watching his movies on DVD, most recently "Save the Tiger." What a talented thespian -- one who could do drama as well as comedy.
Save the Tiger is one of the few movies I had to walk out of because I was so overcome by Jack Lemons portrayal of the characters nervous breakdown It was so real that that I couldn’t take it he was a wonderful actor and touched your heart
I'm sure he was an excellent father
Great actor!!
This actor is so cool what a great body of movies funny guy one of my favorites
Him and James Cagney two amazing actors
🚬👶🏻🥃THEY SUCK
This was just wonderful.
Never be another actor like him.
I think he is one of Hollywood's gem.
Tom Hanks is today's Jack in the way he acts and is a an all out good actor and nice decent guy IMHO anyways.
+RID COMICS agreed! great actor, and a nice guy too.
i thought that for awhile now....glad to see someone thinks the same thing...and happy to read it...miss the old movies and Walter Matthau as well
he was 5'10" 5'11" --- it's amazing that he knew who Mary-Ann-Twinnette was

@@johnjarou2357 SO
The greatest actor of the American movie industry. He could do comedy and drama like no other. Things like "The odd couple" and "Missing".
+Chelle Marr It's a long list of great Jack Lemmon movies! I also like "Cowboy". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowboy_(1958_film)
A marvelous, man. I could listen to him talk all day, him and Walter Mathieu. :)
The greatest couple in Hollywood: Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau...
❤
Very interesting video, thanks for uploading
I would liked to have heard how Jack came up with the “fmah!” sinus-clearing yell in the restaurant scene, of the Odd Couple.
Neil Simon wrote the play and all the dialogue. He “came up with it”.
One of my all time favourites because no matter how many times I see it, I laugh like it's the first time. Hilarious...love it. Under the yum yum tree is funny little gem too.
For Jack Lemmon fans, check out Glengarry, Glenross. He'sGreat!
Thank you for posting this!
Impossible to encapsulate jack's career in a couple of hours I guess being TV focused it takes away from his stage and movie career which is where he made his most major contribution
NICEST MAN ... GREAT ACTOR
I still have a crush on Jack
I do big time and I’m 31 he was so very cute and sexy x
Anyone know who the Interviewer is? He's very TV-centric, and was really making Lemmon work very hard in this interview. Jack Lemmon was the sweetest guy in the business, ever! Loved him in The Great Race, among all his other work.
This was an interview for the Archive of American Television, that's why the interviewer is focusing on his TV work.
It’s actually behind me the people who give legends like this tumps down
Never forget the scene: FFNa, FFNA with Jack!! Truly I don't know witch film it was. But let me say...He was a man, with Walter gave me a Joy.
Frank Uijens The Odd couple
He and Walter Matthau great storytellers, and I saw Jack play on the piano a song that he'd written. A Brit was interviewing the two of them
Michael Parkinson.
@@fullbodiedmovie Probably was Michael Parkinson who, if you've never seen him on UK or OZ TV asks good questions and listens to the answers. His programmes are always about the guest and not him. His interview with Walter Matthau and George Burns together is well worth a viewing...
I need my GLENGARRY leads.
The Donut Corperation Of America..later helped to create:"The Mayflower Donut Shops"in this country.
He had a great education.
He played a great hypochondriac in t'he odd couple
The interviewer was a real doofus. Didn't even know that Lemmon won the Supporting Oscar for Mister Roberts. His insistence on moving to more obscure early projects leaves out Lemmon's most strenuous, and important time, as an actor. I know this is supposed to be about his TV experience, but he needed to spend more time on Lemmon's career AFTER early TV. Talking about how his MOVIE experience was based on how he learned from TV, might have made for a much better 2 hours.
Love Jack Lemmon! - but the interviewer on the right Lemmon on the left not good audio.
A sus pies señor es usted la comedia
Not the best interviewer, but a great interview!
It is inconceivable that this interviewer talked to Lemmon for an hour and a half without once mentioning his most famous roles, in The Apartment and in Some Like it Hot, or asking Lemmon about his experiences working with Tony Curtis, Marilyn Monroe, Shirley MacLaine, et al. Or about the making of those two iconic films. Inexcusable lapse and a loss for us all, not to have his memories on the making of those two classics.
I think the focus of the interview was about early live TV acting.
Interesting you would identify yourself with a photo of Orson Welles. Is he your idol?
Can someone please find out who ultimately won that bridge game his was was playing
When was the interview held?
What about “The Apartment”?!
This video was difficult to find. Everyone should watch this video, just for history, to reach the biggest audience around the world. This video should be copied into at least one hundred different YT channels with different titles under every topic he discusses. Quiet, polite people like this never get the attention they deserve. Everyone should watch Jack Lemmon in the film China Syndrome. Then watch Silkwood. Then watch the current film Dark Waters about Dupont. November 2019.
Spread the word wherever you can! :D
what year was this interview conducted?
M M Seinfeld started in the 80’s tho right? Could be 89.
@@luckyDancer100 really? it was i think (1998) cause he mentioned NYPD Blue that was on in 98 but not 89.
Stimpson J. Kat Seinfeld debuted in 1989, but it didn’t gain popularity till a few seasons later. If he’s referencing it here, it’s probably the 90’s. I just looked it up so I could correct myself haha.
@@luckyDancer100 but he did 12 angry me for showtime in 1997. And inherit the aired in 1999 that is why I think it was either 1998 or 1999. But in guessing 1998
Stimpson J. Kat sounds right
When and where did the interview take place? Who conducted the interview?
Morrie Gelman conducted the interview in Beverly Hills, California on November 4, 1998.
@@fullbodiedmovie Thank you.
Year, month of interview?

You're welcome.......happened to see that posted by the OP just before reading your question, and copied it over since you were asking what I had also been wondering.....

See you tube; Joey Sanguine Songs for the song “ Tribute” I wrote in his honor based on his epic movie “ Tribute”(1980)❤
Great actor, however describing himself as middle class is puzzling, middle class kids did not go to Rivers Country Day, Andover Academy and Harvard (he is an alum of all three). at Harvard he lived in Eliot House and was an active member of several Drama Clubs - and president of the Hasty Pudding Club[- as well as a member of the Delphic Club for Gentleman, a final club at Harvard (hardly middle class). He was from a privileged background,. Favorite film Days of Wine and Roses, considering he actually was an alcoholic, must have been a tough film to make.
Middle Class was very different then....poverty, poor,lower middle class, middle class, upper middle class, wealthy and rich. Now Poverty, Middle class , wealthy and rich
If you got caught in a small elevator with this fellow, would that be a Lemmon Squash? LOL
When ?
Man does he remind me of Jim Carrey in The Apartment lol

Why not give him a working microphone?
hahahahahaa

Hey, what's up? It's nice. babies blink What's your opinion about that, guys 11
Very good actor Jack ----but sounds very flat . Perhaps he was prone to depression in his life ?
John Walton Well, he admitted to being an alcoholic late on his life.
Cockoff Gewgle I didn't know that -thanks for the info friend . What a shame . Liked him in Glengarry Glen Ross
Big John
John Walton Yeah mate, try and track down his appearance on Inside The Actor's Studio if you can. He confesses as much on there. I don't know whether it was common knowledge at the time or not. I only saw it on a compilation/clips episode, haven't seen the full episode.
Cockoff Gewgle Will do --cheers
hahahahahaa
