TRUE STORY> I was a bartender at Trancas Bar/Restaurant in Malibu during the early 80's. It was a hangout for local Hollywood Celebrities and Musicians. One day during happy hour I turned around and Jack Lemmon had just sat down at the bar. He ordered a Johnnie Walker Red on the rocks. He was all alone and was super nice. We only chatted for a little bit before my shift ended, but I will never forget what a class act he was. A few years later I saw ''Days Of Wine And Roses.'' What an incredible movie.

I lived in LA at that time. Was that the restaurant Eddie Van Halen would walk into and just go on stage and start playing? To everyone’s surprise.

@@michaelnewell6385 I don't remember seeing Eddie but it certainly could've happened. Mick Fleetwood would drop in now and then to sit in on drums, while I would be serving Christine McVie cocktails at the bar. Gary Busey and Jan Michael Vincent were regulars. They loved Cuervo Gold. It was a time when they were getting so wasted. I had to give Jan a ride home to Pacific Palisades one night after he had gotten in a fight with his girlfriend. Dennis Wilson was another regular. He rarely wore shoes. He got away with it because he was a Beach Boy & spent lots of money. He claimed that one foot was longer than the other because he played the drums. He was a nice guy, but had his demons. He passed away while I lived there. One time during the dayshift, he was having early cocktails and took his baseball jersey off and forgot it. I wore for years:) I lived in Malibu for 3 years & have incredible memories. I also worked at Malibu Photo and met even more celebs while there. One day Richard Pryor walked into me when I was coming back from lunch. Super nice guy & by far my favorite comedian. A few more customers were Robert Duvall, Larry Hagman, Ali McGraw, Paul Newman, Sam Elliott & a member of the Eagles. I took pix of a few of them, but most times I tried not to bother them since this was their neighborhood. Wish I could post a couple of photos. Sad that there are hardly any photos of Trancas. it was such a happening place. I have found a couple of stories about it. There are some poor quality videos that I just found, but they don't show the club. I may have been working during this one. ‘’Nile and Mick Fleetwood performing "Jumpin' Jack Flash" at Trancas Beach in Malibu, CA - 1985’’

Superb actor and a very kind, bright, gracious gentleman. (I had an extended conversation with him once, and he could not have been nicer or more pleasant.) My favorite Lemmon performance was in “Missing” - the pain and anguish he communicated with his eyes, voice and body language was brilliant and emotionally overwhelming.

Jack Lemmon was a special, and underrated actor. Unlike many of his contemporaries from the 50's and 60's, he was amazingly versatile. Most of them excelled in a particular type of role, while Jack could do any type of role, and do it well. It was a rare trait then, and possibly even more so now. All I know for sure is that Hollywood's star shines a little dimmer now that he's gone. He was one of the all time greats.
