Page "Jack Lemmon" Paragraph 16
from
Wikipedia
In his autobiography, " My Life ", Burt Reynolds recalls Lemmon as the quintessential gentleman who never spoke ill of anybody, even if they deserved it.
This niceness actually backfired for Reynolds: prior to accepting the lead in W. W. and the Dixie Dancekings ( 1975 ), directed by John G. Avildsen, Reynolds asked Lemmon, who Avildsen had directed in Save the Tiger ( 1973 ) for advice about Avildsen as a director.
Much later, after the film was released and his experiences during its production proved unhappy, Reynolds complained to Lemmon and described Avildsen as an " asshole ", whereby Lemmon replied, " I guess you could say that ".
