I could watch or listen to him talk for hours. What a true professional and a class act. One of the greatest actors ever.

Jack Lemmon was fantastic. He sure could act, he could do comedy, drama, action, anything. It also shows that he was a wonderful human being, a lovely person. I know people say this all the time, but I do mean it, I'm thirteen and he's absolutely one of my favourite actors. Some Like It Hot, The Apartment, The Odd Couple, Grumpy Old Man, The China Syndrome, those are the real movies.
