Lemmon, the two-time Oscar winner whose acting talents ranged from
comedies such as The Apartment and Some Like It Hot to the
dramatic intensity of Days of Wine and Roses and Tuesdays With
Morrie, died recently at the age of 76. Lemmon's inspired career was
marked by his many collaborations with friend Walter Matthau. From their
first film together, The Fortune Cookie, to their last, Grumpy
Old Men 2, Lemmon's fresh-faced, Ivy-League manner proved a perfect
match for the slouching, gruff Matthau. Lemmon continued to receive
accolades all through his career, most recently with his performance in
1999's Tuesdays With Morrie.
