transitions between comedy and drama with ease... His performance in China Syndrome was heartfelt and sincere and I personally felt he deserved the BA award for that role (Dustin Hoffman won for Kramer vs. Kramer). Shirley Maclaine on the Larry King show the other night pointed out Lemmon's ability to make all of us feel like he was one of us while at the same time exuding "star quality". Apparently when on the set and just before the cameras would start to roll, Lemmon was always heard to say under his breath... "magic time". When I was studying acting in college, he was one of my role models. He was a gentleman, socially conscious and a great talent. I will miss his ability to make me feel the "magic"... Rest in peace Mr. Lemmon.
