CLASSY

[TheKristobald]

Oh this is such a moving video :) Right from the moment they put The Apartment main theme, I wanted to cry and his speech was so, so beautiful. Specially the part about the other side of the coin and his love to his family. No one can ever spread a little bit of sunshine like Jack Lemmon !

[govindakubal]

jack lemmon is an all time favourite and cannot be matched

[ludocrat]

A beautiful person - right there.

[judyrusso]

One of the greatest actor's. It was nice to see them honor him before his death. In his interview with "The Actors Studio" he admitted that he was an alcoholic. For him to be that candid was amazing. James Lipton who was interviewing him just brushed it off which was disappointing to say the least.

[LinneaDeValcourt]

wow! that was one hell of a speech.. that part of the other side of the coin and the dark days in acting.. so inspirering!!

[jubbjubb155]

BEAST



[brackenan]

who the hell disliked this????

[cityt8]

grumpy old men was hands down awsome lol

[britannysbeers]

Insta *Tears!*...

'Spread a little sunshine', indeed!

Ain't that what we're here to do!

Thank you Jack Lemon :)

Jack Lemmon was a great actor

[Lburke52110]

He was the best

[holycrapolly]

This has to be one of, if not the best acceptance speech I've ever heard. All from the heart, and not rehearsed . The man was one of the best of all time.

[vsica2]

Que categoría de Actor como interpreta los papeles con elegancia, y que maestría siempre estará con nosotros y nos queda solo por desgracia toda su carrera cinematográfica. que dios le tenga en el cielo. gracias por todo.-

[woollybully100]

[mcsdallas]

The Great Race for humor

@mysticgirl1000

Clueless you are - the finest of actors

[deadman66654]

@mysticgirl1000 why do u keep commenting on these videos about these two guys if you hate them u putz

[RyanHD1080]

What the heck? Walter Mathau doesn't age? :P

[Trinder3467]

In the end Jack shoul've said, "Here's my message to you - Fuck you and Kiss my ass"

[PoliticalPars]

One of my favourites, Mr. Lemmon!

[punstergirl92]

I love this so much. I love Jack Lemmon so much. This made me cry, but in a (mostly) happy way. :-)

Spread a little sunshine.

[DaVooz]

This man's a gem.

[ultralight9]

the guy was one of the best.

[pfmurph]

needless to say. they don't make em like this anymore. pure class mixed with self-deprecating humor and genuine kindness. RIP Jackie boy

[TheTtomo]

and great man....................

[dflartist]

Missing, brilliant. China Syndrome, brilliant. Some Like it Hot, hysterical.

[evexx08]

go jack...

[SnoreBear44]

About as great a combo of talent, charisma and likability as ever produced via Hollywood. He is, as others have written, very much missed, but of course left behind some enduring gems, both comedically and dramatically.

[Cryptlord91]

i loved him in the out of towners

[burray206]

he should of won supporting actor for glengary glenross.

[laksa72]

Pacino should win, Alec Baldwin shld win a Best Cameo Award if there is any. :)

[ToughXArmy69]

Jack Lemmon's greatest performance were in Days Of Wine And Roses, The Apartment and Some Like It Hot, ...he could easily have won an Oscar for each and no one would quibble. In fact He won for Save The Tiger to me was a consolation prize.

He worked with Kim Novak, Sophia Loren, Shirely MacLaine, Rita Hayworth, Jane Fonda, and of course the great Marilyn Monroe.

[merlin999999]

the ultimate legend of movies. I simply love you Jack

[doubledown1138]

What a classy guy. Much missed.

[Maddy0825]

Jack Lemmon is a class act. Not something you see too much anymore in the movie stars of today.

[marlonbrando01]

top 5 jack lemmon roles 1) The Apartment 2) Some Like It Hot 3) The China Syndrome 4) The Odd Couple 5) Save the Tiger

[YouriH190]

i agree save the tiger, is just remarkable

[jcq1961]

I would put "Missing" in there also.

[lds8714]

@marlonbrando01 I know it's hard to pick only five, but what about Glengarry?

[tabooman]

@marlonbrando01 No arguing there.

[jferkfjkj]

@marlonbrando01

i disagree, replace china syndrome with days of wine and roses

[iaintmadatcha]

@marlonbrando01 U cant miss out Glen Garry Glen Ross

[kimbo0720]

@marlonbrando01 , Number 1 would be The Great Race

[Fcblover]

@marlonbrando01

glengarry glen ross

[Danderson07]

@marlonbrando01 What about Twelve Angry Men? I loved that play/movie, especially since he was the lead.

[Roesch03WRX]

@marlonbrando01 totally forgot the great race....

[atavener]

Everyone overlooks the Great Race which is a fantastic performance by Jack! Still a very good list though.

[suttonguy]

what a wonderful acceptance speach.

[92af]

Jack Lemmon was way better than Alec Guinness was

[JessicaRabbitIdol]

Some like it hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! good movie

[chakotay24]

he was one of the great classic actors of all time

[razbigranicu]

apsolutely. im just talking about him as a man not as a actor. he is one of my favourite actors.

[razbigranicu]

he is no much different than shelley levene....

[Comictalent]

maybe the most underrated actor ever

[vince065us]

Jack would've been voted"Most respected" in his H.S.Class.He's missed.

[JosieCashew]

The woman sitting next to Jack Lemmon's son Chris (he's the one with the red bow tie on his tux) is my cousin!
