“It's hard enough to write a good drama, it's much harder to write a good comedy, and it's hardest of all to write a drama with comedy. Which is what life is.”I ran across this quote by Jack Lemmon and it's right on.
Like everyone, I love Jack Lemmon. Probably the most memorable performance to me was his work in The China Syndrome. And I loved him opposite Walter Matthau in The Odd Couple and in Some Like it Hot with Marilyn Monroe and Tony Curtis. It's all incredible - a stunning body of work.
Lemmon was born in Newton, MA and attended Harvard University, becoming the President of the Hasty Pudding Club - where many comedy writers have gotten their start. Lemmon died in 2001.
