Summary of Call Me Bud - Jack Lemmon On Film
Jack Lemmon is known to audiences the world over for his roles in classic comedies of the 50s and 60s such as 'Some Like It Hot', 'Mr Roberts', 'The Apartment' and 'The Odd Couple'. But, in a film career that spanned over 45 years, he also excelled in ground breaking dramatic roles that sometimes riled Governments and raised social issues in every decade through to the 90s. For the first time, Call Me Bud examines this amazing career in film from his arrival in Hollywood fresh from the pioneering days of TV right through to his last appearances as the 21st century dawned. Along the way, the story takes in legendary Directors from George Cukor and Billy Wilder to Robert Altman, and writers from Garson Kanin through Neil Simon to David Mamet. Amidst all the Oscars and Emmy's too, there's time to look at the man's crucial ethos on acting, his unselfish support of those starting out in the business and the impact he had on so many other fine actors from Walter Matthau to Kevin Spacey. Often known as 'America's Everyman' for his approachability, the truth is that Jack Lemmon was an extraordinary man and actor. Over the course of almost 70 films, Call Me Bud shows just why.Actors & Actresses Books
