Lemmon's recently published memoir, A Twist of Lemmon, is a heartfelt tribute to his iconic father Jack Lemmon. When Jack Lemmon died in 2001, the world lost a two-time Oscar winner and perhaps the most beloved actor of his generation; but Chris Lemmon lost a father and a best friend. After Lemmon's parents divorced in 1956, he knew his famous father mainly through "play visits" and, later, yearly Alaskan fishing trips. But as he became an adult, his relationship with his father deepened, connecting them in unforeseen ways. In A Twist of Lemmon, Lemmon shares family tales, intimate father-son conversations, and anecdotes from and about his dad.
He is presently in pre-production for his film Publicity Stunt, which he wrote and produced, and in which he will star - Publicity Stunt will be helmed by Big Fat Greek Wedding director, Joel Zwick.
