I have to say...if I was in my 20s or 30s in the era where he was young and full of life...like during "The Apartment" or "Irma La Doce"...I would have found him very sexy.
He had a sparkle to him, so much energy, was funny, and not hard on the eyes.posted 590 days ago -
My favorite actor ever! I love Jack so much, surely I was born in the wrong century?! I absolutely love him in "Some Like It Hot", "The Apartment" and "The Great Race" the most! I have lots of his films on DVD. He is the coolest actor ever! What a great man. Love you forever, Jack xxx

It's a shame that talented actors like Jack are becoming harder to find. We miss ya Jack, thanks for the wonderful movies you've left behind. They can brighten even the most miserable of days. You still have people laughing at your jokes even though you passed on. Rest in eternal peace.
