I will forever love ❤️ Jack Lord (Steve McGarret). He truly loved "The Rock" Hawaii. Continue to rest in peace with your beautiful wife. Hawaii 5-O forever 😎 ❤️ 🍷
He was the epitome of a life well lived. A US Merchant Marine during WW2 who survived in a lifeboat after his ship was torpedoed by a U-boot off the coast of Africa, an accomplished painter who at 20 sold his works to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC, a singer of country/western songs who toured the rodeo circuit before his acting career took off, was offered the role of Captain Kirk for Star Trek TOS by Gene Roddenberry, loved poetry and recites poems from E.E. Cummings and Rudyard Kipling, and he was the first Felix Leiter in the James Bond movies.
A real treat to see Jack script, ride and direct the shots at once, and watch a skilled and perceptive professional at work. My father worked with Jack and said he was the hardest working man in the entertainment business.
Yep, I have heard that he was a perfectionist and not easy to work with or for. He often rode the Guest Stars hard, demanding work first and play when the episode was "in the can". That said, I have much respect for the man and I normally loathe actors, especially the self-entitled loud mouth idiots that populate today's entertainment industry.
@@cameraman655 Very well put! Jack Lord was a professional in his craft. When my mom worked at Universal Studios, she told of numerous encounters of actors that fell into the "self-entitled loud moth idiots" category. Did you ever know of a man named Dick "Richard" Glouner that worked in the cameraman industry?
Talk about perfection! Tough guy Jack Lord aka 'McGarrett, Five-0' is a perfectionist up until the end. I thank him for that and all the marvelous shows he made. It is nice to see him as himself in this manner. He will never be forgotten by me, Aloha!!
Thank you Jack Lord for taking the time to teach me and the rest of us the meaning of Hawaiian language ! Keep on teaching us more education on how to get along in this world !
I will never forget jack lord. he was a good man ,I will love him forever ,I wish I know him. I was only 10year old when I saw him on 5o that a long time ago but still love him my u and your wife rest in peace.
I really love this video ! The ladies wearing those beautiful Hawaiian parade attire and head dresses , and Jack Lord looked stunning wearing his out fit as well plus the way that he explained what every Hawaiian language word meant is really interesting and educational ! Keep up with the good work !
There is a man here on YT (Michael Van Dorn) who appeared on a couple of the original Hawaii 5 0 episodes, and even acted as a body double for Jack. Look him up!
I really enjoy looking at this video ! The way that Jack Lord explained what the words meant in Hawaiian language is very interesting and educational . Also the colorful attire that the people wore especially Jack and Marie Lord were awesome ! Thank you for sharing this video with me ! And to Jack Lord thank you for sharing this information with me as well . Aloha ! This is the perfect Thanksgiving video for this time of year !
Jack Lord even looked stunning as well ! How ever , I felt so sorry for his wife Marie . She looked like she wished that she was some where else , rather than sitting on a horse .
Jack was an amazing and strange guy - he married his 2nd wife Marie de Narde (who was 15 years older than him) when he was 29 and they lived not in a lavish estate in Hawaii but in a 2 bedroom condo!
...Jack must have driven a lot of people nutz...I read he got up each day at 3:30 am to practice his lines.....geez he must have been hell to live with!
Yet he and his wife were happily married for 45 years. So much for being hell to live with. His co-stars and crew were real hell to work with, but no one ever talks about it.
@@vrinda5303 will they kind of do there is a video on here of a local reporter during a probably 45 minutes review of Hawaii Five-O that was done in 1996 with James MacArthur and they said that Jack Lord was tough but it made them improve on their craft of acting but they said he was one of the dearest men you ever want to meet... it's on RU-vid but it's only in segments.
Marion Ross Shame On Interviews, This Lt.Marine, Actor Jack Lord RIP. He Has Had Suffered Dementia, Not Ego. Show Him Some Manners Respect.His Wife Cared Loved Him.
Jack spent a lot of time doing charity work for Hawaiian cultural organizations and he associated with many people who were not in Hawaii's elite. He was well-aware of the real Hawaii, having actually visited those areas. I know this from talking to people who lived there. Just because he lived in the elite section, that doesn't mean he didn't know the real Hawaii. People love to make assumptions about this man without knowing left from right.
@@vrinda5303 in fact there was no such thing as television or film production in Hawaii. At the time people from Los Angeles had to teach people how to work on a Hollywood's set from the ground up how to do filming.. If it wasn't for Jack Lord there wouldn't be any filming of anything in in Hawaii so this stuff that you're saying isn't really true this man actually worked to make sure that actors, actresses, etc were employed..
@@sandrasanders706 What are you talking about? Did you even read my answer? I know that Hawaii didn't have a film and TV industry and Jack got it started. That has nothing to do with my answer. I said he knew the real Hawaii. Learn how to read.
@@sandrasanders706 Jack Lord was not the one who got the tv industry started in Hawaii. It was the creator of the show Len Freedman who came up with the idea to film a cop show in Hawaii when he was recuperating there. He had to go through a lot of red tape with local government to get the ball rolling. It was also Leonard Freeman who made sure that local actors were hired from the beginning to make the show more authentic. Jack wasn't even in the running for the role, as there were several other actors they had in mind. When the actor they eventually chose didn't work out, they asked Jack to read the script a month before they were scheduled to start filming. Jack came on board and the rest is history. He loved Hawaii and devoted his life to the state through charity work and funding. He did a lot for Hawaiian tourism but, without the hard work and vision of Leonard Freedman, Hawaii Five-0 would never have happened.
I am kama'aina. 50 years here. I am well aware what pau hana means. And am equally aware and pained when some haole pronounces is pau Hannah. I think Hannah herself would cringe.
Please explain. Is a Haole some white person who disrespects the Islands? If you're white and show respect to the islands are you still considered a Haole.
Ppl she talks wayyyyyy to much.....furthermore the word NO goes a long wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy... U must SPEND A LOT OF TIME WITH YOUR PETS CONSISTENTLY............
Pretty much Jack's swansong, filming the twelth and last season of 5 O. He was DONE but his ego too big to let go. Here though, it easily discernable, this was his way of saying "so long " He and his show got old QUICK that last season really bad no Danno, replaced by the awful William Smith and silly LORRIE the only female member of McG's team who was sorely out of place. The writing, acting and production values plummeted and only 19 episodes were produced, not the standard 24. The only good thing is TRUCK added to the cast played by the great MOE KEALE. Jack did produce M STATION HAWAII after that but it was a real snoozefest and not picked up. Thanks for the memories. ALOHA.
Sadly you are so right. I grew up with Five 0. When Dano left i was so depressed. I could feel a shift. William Smith and Lorrie were just not the same. Glad that Steve finally got Wo Fat. I remember watching "McGarrett" on the CBS late show in the early 80's. It was weird and not quite the same. Jack absolutely owned this character. Some really good acting on H5O. A high standard. That was all Jack.
