Happy 88th Birthday, Jack Lemmon
(February 8, 1925 - June 27, 2001)
“I’m terribly fond of Jack. We understand each other very well and it’s a pleasure to work with him. He is a thinking actor, but not an argumentative one. By that way I mean if we start shooting at nine o’clock, he would be there at 8:15 and would come to my office and say, ‘Hey, I’ve got a great idea! Look, why don’t we do this? Blah, blah, blah, blah.’ And I just look at him, and he says, ‘I don’t like it either.’ And he walks out.”
-Billy Wilder
I remember the day he died. I’ve seen many more of his movies since; he was so great.
Do yourself a favor today, world. Watch Some Like It Hot, The Apartment, orThe Out of Towners
