Jack Lemmon

At the beginning of the last winter month of 2020, the entire cinematic world remembered the legendary Jack Lemmon: on February 8, he could have turned 95 years old. The celebrity has a special relationship with the prestigious Academy Award. First, the artist for the first time in history received both cherished statuettes for the main and secondary role. Secondly, he was awarded such a high award for convincing reincarnation in Frank Thurlow Pullwer's Ensin almost immediately after his debut in the big movie.

Some prominent personalities could boast of their unusual place of birth. Ballet star Rudolf Nureyev was born in 1938 on a train to Vladivostok, and John Yuler Lemmon III (the full name of a celebrity) - in 1925 right in the elevator Newton-Wellesley Hospital in the suburbs of Middlesex.

The child together did not affect the strained relationship between mildred Burgess's mother and father John Yuler Lemmon II. The marriage was not easy, and eventually the couple broke up when the son came of age. The couple did not formalize the divorce. As a child, the boy did not have good health - managed to undergo three operations on the ears and a couple of years to lie in the hospital.

The craving for art woke up in it at a fairly early age. At the age of 8, the boy stated that he wanted to become an actor, causing disapproval of his parents (he, however, did not resist the desire of the heir). And at the age of 14 he mastered the musical instrument - piano.

He received his education first at John Ward Elementary School and Rivers School, then at Phillips Andover Academy and Harvard College. In the last school, the student actively participated in both cultural and social life. And even then did not recognize any restrictions, bypassing the ban on performances in theaters and taking the pseudonym Timothy Orange.

In the last months of World War II, the young man was assigned to the Navy, where he was a liaison officer on the aircraft carrier Lake Champlain and Ensign. Returning from the front and completing his training, the young man went to HB Studio, where heeded the instructions of Uta Hagen herself. To have at least some earnings, he served as a waiter, a facilitator and an accompanist in the bar Old Knick. Subsequently, the man did not leave unattended Broadway and radio with television.

The first favorite of the artist was his colleague and longtime friend Cynthia Stone. The couple married on May 7, 1950, and starred in the comedy series Heaven for Betsy. Four years after the wedding, on June 22, they accepted congratulations on the birth of their son Christopher Boyd, who subsequently followed in the footsteps of adults. Chris became an actor and writer and created a play about his father and his relationship.

On this day in 1962, Jack Lemmon married Felicia Farr.

Unfortunately, the birth of a child did not save the marriage, and in 1956 the couple filed for divorce. The woman tried to arrange a personal life twice more, and Jack on August 17, 1962 took in his wife Felicia Farr, who gave him a daughter Courtney Noel. The heiress also chose a creative path in the future.

The man knew how not only to love but also to be friends. The collaboration with Walter Matthau in the play "The Strange Couple" in 1964 grew into a close partnership, and the performers turned into the most recognizable comic duo. It seems that one could not do without the other, and a year after Matthau died, the death took Lemmon.

In 1955, flashing in "It Should Happen to You," Lemmon got a role in "Mr. Roberts," which was embodied on screen by Henry Fonda. The virtuoso transformation into Frank Pulver's Ensign was so impressed by the harsh jury of the Academy Awards that it did not skimp and handed Jack the treasured statuette.

At the beginning of the 60s, he appeared in two cult films, which won public recognition and criticism and many well-deserved awards - "Only Girls in Jazz" and "The Apartment". In the first partners of the artist on the set were Marilyn Monroe and Tony Curtis, in the second - Shirley MacLaine.

Curtis approved in "Some Love Hot" without unnecessary controversy, but for Daphne between the creators of the film unfolded a real carnage. The Mirish brothers, the founders of the Mirisch Brothers studio, insisted on frank Sinatra's candidacy, and the options of Eddie Cantor and Jack Benny were considered.

As a result, director Billy Wilder chose Lemmon - he immediately responded to the proposal, not at all embarrassed by the impending reincarnation of a woman. And the sex symbol of the 20th century managed to bypass strong rivals in the person of Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor and Mitzi Gaynor.

Soon the American filmography was enriched by "33 Misfortunes" and "Days of Wine and Roses", as well as projects where he performed in a duet with a friend Walter Mattau. The audience was in a wild delight with their "The Hazard of Luck," "Old Grumpy" etc.

In the 70s, the Hollywood star's creative biography featured a comedy called "Avanti!," which gave the performer a Golden Globe and the drama Save the Tiger, which won a second Academy Award. And then the actor was ahead of Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, and Jack Nicholson with Robert Redford.

For the rest of his life, the artist never stopped acting. A few months before his death, he played Hardy Greves in old age in The Legend of Bager Vance.

The Divine Clown, as Lemmon was called, was tormented by an incurable disease in the last years of his life. Despite the fact that the man bravely fought with her, in the end it was she who caused his death on June 27, 2001 at the age of 76.

The family fulfilled the last will of the artist. According to his will, his grave is located next to the burial of a close friend and colleague Walter Mattau at Westwood Cemetery in west Los Angeles. Marilyn Monroe, Ray Bradbury, Billy Wilder, Kirk Douglas, and George Scott also found their final resting place here.
