CLASSY

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 !

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

A beautiful person - right there.

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.
