Jack Lemon is a fine actor and gentleman

I've seen this interview before and it just transports you away into another world the quality of life the quality man

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.

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

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.

Bless him. He made some of the best movies ever!

One of the best. Could bust you up or make you cry. Loved Days of wine and roses.

Such a great man and a wonderful actor! His performance in Glengarry Glen Ross is unforgettable. Thank you, Mr. Lemmon!

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

Great actor ! Marvellous person !

Quite simply the greatest film actor of all time. The breadth of emotion and expression is peerless.

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!

What a great interviewer. Really great video.

What a great interview with this star...... His story really is inspiring.. ..

jack lemmon and walter matthau were two of my favorite actors. RIP ❤

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 🤗

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.

What an amazing man

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...

A truly great person, personality, and actor. one of the best EVER.

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

Love Jack Lemon. I was a young girl and got to see him on Broadway with my parents in Tribute. He was wonderful.

Loved all his movies !

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.

Class act, period.

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.....

By watching the thumbnail i thought it was Brando for 2 seconds. But both are god gifted actors.

Awesome man....thanks for this.

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!

Legend

I still have a crush on Jack

Jack was one of the best!

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!💖💖💖💖💖

Great actor!!

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.

I just love this great man ❤❤❤❤

Excellent interview! I love Jack so much. Thank you for uploading the interview!❤️❤️❤️

From The Apartment to The China Syndrome...a wonderful actor, classy human and handsome man.

Love him !!!!! The best

This actor is so cool what a great body of movies funny guy one of my favorites

This was just wonderful.

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.

I'm sure he was an excellent father

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.

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.

Him and James Cagney two amazing actors

Very interesting video, thanks for uploading

Thank you for posting this!

Thank you John was my father's cousin louie lemmon it was so sad when he passed

A marvelous, man. I could listen to him talk all day, him and Walter Mathieu. :)

The greatest actor of the American movie industry. He could do comedy and drama like no other. Things like "The odd couple" and "Missing".

The greatest couple in Hollywood: Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau...

I would liked to have heard how Jack came up with the “fmah!” sinus-clearing yell in the restaurant scene, of the Odd Couple.

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

The best actor in American cinema. Simply the greatest.

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

For Jack Lemmon fans, check out Glengarry, Glenross. He'sGreat!

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.

In my opinion Jack lemmon was the best actor of his generation or any generation for that matter.

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.

I need my GLENGARRY leads.

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

NICEST MAN ... GREAT ACTOR

He played a great hypochondriac in t'he odd couple

The Donut Corperation Of America..later helped to create:"The Mayflower Donut Shops"in this country.

I still like his Acting in the Great Race. Funny as anything i've ever seen.

Love Jack Lemmon! - but the interviewer on the right Lemmon on the left not good audio.

He had a great education.

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.

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.

Can someone please find out who ultimately won that bridge game his was was playing

What about “The Apartment”?!

If you got caught in a small elevator with this fellow, would that be a Lemmon Squash? LOL

When was the interview held?

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.

When and where did the interview take place? Who conducted the interview?

Year, month of interview?

A sus pies señor es usted la comedia

what year was this interview conducted?

See you tube; Joey Sanguine Songs for the song “ Tribute” I wrote in his honor based on his epic movie “ Tribute”(1980)❤

Man does he remind me of Jim Carrey in The Apartment lol

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.

When ?

hahahahahaa

Why not give him a working microphone?

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 ?

hahahahahaa
