Interesting pick here, Kay. Ya see, I've never thought of Jack Lemmon or any character he's ever played as being "dumb". Sometimes "bewildered" perhaps, but never dumb.

And now re your actress question here: Katharine Hepburn

And now re your actress question here: Katharine Hepburn

Dargo, you wrote an actor who was the opposite of dumb. I love Jack and think he's was such an intelligent actor and was so smart. He was a Harvard graduate in real life, a truly lovely man, best friends with 2 other men I consider among the most intelligent in Hollywood Billy Wilder and Walter Matthau.

Repeating Dargo's question

Aaah! Ya know, I had a feeling I stated that in a way that could be misconstrued, Kay. Actually, I meant the opposite of someone "erudite" and learned" and such as Felix Bressart often played. Thanks for the clarification here.

In a lead role, it's Mitchum. In a supporting role, the first to come to mind was Duryea.
