John Uhler Lemmon III (February 8, 1925 – June 27, 2001), better known as Jack Lemmon, was a Hollywood movie star and one of the most award-winning American actors of his generation.
Life and career
He was born in an elevator in Newton, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston, where his father was the president of a donut company. After attending Phillips Academy and Harvard University (becoming while there president of the Hasty Pudding Club) Lemmon joined the Navy, received V-12 training and served as an ensign. On being discharged he took up acting professionally, working on radio, television and Broadway.
Lemmon's film debut was a bit part in the 1949 film The Lady Takes a Sailor but he was not noticed until his official debut opposite Judy Holliday in It Should Happen to You (1954).
