In this Turner Classic Movies special on Jack Lemmon, Kevin Spacey describes the career of his late friend and mentor. Spacey shares that Lemmon was a “genius on how to make people feel good,” and he was a very relatable character to the common man. Lemmon is portrayed as a delightful performer with extraordinary range as an actor. The TCM video displays clips from Lemmon’s films such as “The Fortune Cookie” (1966) and the “Prisoner of Second Avenue” (1975).
