# Jack Lemmon

> The worried face of American comedy — twitching, sweating, scrambling to hold it together while everything falls apart. Lemmon made neurotic grace an art form, playing men perpetually one beat behind disaster.

## Bio

John Uhler Lemmon III broke through as a comic-dramatic chameleon in the 1950s, winning his first Oscar for Mister Roberts in 1955. The next two decades delivered a run few actors match: Oscar nominations for Some Like It Hot in 1959, The Apartment in 1960, Days of Wine and Roses in 1962, then a second win for Save the Tiger in 1973. He kept the streak alive with nominations for The China Syndrome, Tribute, and Missing through the early 1980s, while also appearing in Irma la Douce, The Great Race, and Glengarry Glen Ross. Starting in 1966, he formed one of Hollywood's most successful pairings with Walter Matthau across ten films, including The Fortune Cookie, The Odd Couple, and Grumpy Old Men. Late in life he won an Emmy for Tuesdays with Morrie in 1999, two years before his death in 2001.
