Watching Jack Lemmon With Dick Cavett

It was great to watch the incredible late actor, Jack Lemmon being interviewed by Dick Cavett yesterday as Decades aired the one hour interview from 1992 on the 15 year anniversary of Mr. Lemmon’s death.

He was candid, not abrasive in talking (perhaps I can take a lesson in my comments about sports broadcasting), about changes in the movie industry and I felt that I knew him a bit better after watching the show.

His work lives on and his stories about the fine work and comradery he shared with greats older than he such as Sir Laurence Olivier, whom Jack called Larry, Henry Fonda and James Cagney were priceless.

Words of praise for two with whom he worked often, Walter Matthau and the brilliant director, Billy Wilder plus Mr. Cavett’s insightful questions made this a great viewing experience.
