The awesomely brilliant Jack Lemmon would have been 86 years old this year. He passed away from bladder cancer back in 2001. Jack was a versatile actor, he could play someone insanely hilarious or utterly depressing or, in the case of his character in 'The Odd Couple,' he could play both. I love Jack Lemmon and I wish he could have been around for a little bit longer. I would have loved to have heard him speak with Tony Curtis at one of those 'Some Like it Hot' conventions. It would have been amazing. Thanks for the spectacular films, Jack!
I am an avid fan of all things classic, from the films to the stars. I'm also in love with the randomness of life and the films that exemplify this notion.
