Chris Lemmon
from Now I've Heard Everything · host Bill Thompson
Father's Day is coming up in about a week, and today. I wanted to share with you an interview I did a few years ago about a Hollywood father-son story. For the better part of four decades, one of America's favorite actors was Jack Lemmon. He made some 60 movies. He was nominated for eight Academy Awards, and won the Oscar twice,for Mr. Roberts, and for Save The Tiger. Younger audiences may remember him best for his roles in the comedies Grumpy, Old Men and Grumpier Old Men. And starting in the 1970s, Jack Lemmon's son Chris also established himself as a performer. The younger lemon is a talented actor, screenwriter, and musician. And in 2006, he published a book, a tribute to his dad, called A Twist of Lemmon.
