There are some actors that I will miss forever and two of them are in this film. I had numerous opportunity to meet both Jack Lemmon and the actor who I had a junior high crush on James Garner. Garner and Bob Hope were the two celebrities I met the most growing up. But, all three gentlemen were always so kind and generous with their time. They are all hands down the three nicest celebrities I've met, warm and funny. What you see is what you got. I was a very lucky little girl, I didn't know who they were and I think they all loved that. It started when I was about 4 yrs old until I was 18/19. But, these were amazing men, so down to earth, didn't see themselves as BIG STARS, their job was actor and that's how them saw themselves. They came to interviews most of the time alone or PR person came from the movie they were promoting, but they never brought an entourage with them or made demands of the staff to fill their every need. I remember the first time I met Jack Lemmon and he shook my hand and told me his name was Jack and he asked me what mine name was, and I told him but my mom said to call him Mr. Lemmon... he said no, Jack is perfect. All of the old time actors are very similar when I had the opportunity to meet one. i met some of the best, older actors/actresses, were normal people who act for a living. The actors now think they are HUGE STARS, bring their entourage with the them and treat the staff poorly. I have no respect for them nor do they towards their fans. But, Bob Hope, Jack Lemmon and James Garner were all very classy men. They are all gone now but i will cherish those times I got to talk with them.
