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

Jack Lemmon is my best friend and he’s a very wonderful actor. A very talented, very funny man. A lovely man. We’re like brothers! We are gifts to each other.

“If I had to sit through one of my films twice, I’d go mad.  I tend to munch on popcorn, saying ‘No, no, you fool, you’re playing the scene wrong.  You’re lousing up the picture.  Come on, Lemmon, ACT!’”

Happiness is working with Jack Lemmon. Everybody likes Jack, everybody. Even the men. They don’t get jealous if their wives have a crush on Jack Lemmon. —Billy Wilder
