Jack lemmon gay

Jack Lemmon, the brash young American Everyman who evolved into the screen's grumpiest old Everyman during a movie career that lasted a half century, died on Wednesday at a hospital in Los Angeles.

Well, it’s fair to say that Jack Lemmon played Daphne in the spirit of farce and slapstick. It’s not likely, watching Some Like It Hot, in or now, to believe that Daphne is a girl.

Actors Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon spend the majority of their time on screen in drag and occasionally find themselves in some pretty queer situations; Curtis codes himself as gay at one.

SOME LIKE IT HOT is set in Prohibition-era Chicago and follows two jazz musicians, Joe (Tony Curtis) and Jerry (Jack Lemmon), who witness a mob hit and go into hiding as women. They change their names to Josephine and Daphne and join an all-female band in Florida.
