Lemmon died on Wednesday (July 27) from complications caused by cancer. He was 76.

The schedule films include those that earned the actor Academy Award nominations for best actor -- "The Apartment," "Days of Wine and Roses" and "Some Like It Hot" -- as well as some of those that partnered him with friend Walter Matthau -- "The Fortune Cookie," "The Odd Couple."

Lemmon won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in 1955 for "Save the Tiger" and another for Best Actor in 1973 for "Save the Tiger." The International Cannes Film Festival declared him Best Actor in 1979 for "The China Syndrome" and he was awarded The America Film Institute's Life Achievement Award in 1988.

"Jack Lemmon came close to being a genius for his ability to jump with so little effort between farces like 'Some Like It Hot' to dramas as in 'Days of Wine and Roses'," says Robert Osborne, TCM's on-air host. "He was perhaps even a better actor than most realized, because in life he was a much more complicated man than his screen persona would indicate. He never lost his enthusiasm for work, or for pushing his boundaries."

In recent years, some of Lemmon's best performances were for the small screen. He won an Emmy for the Oprah Winfrey-produced "Tuesdays with Morrie" last year. Previously, he had been nominated four times for his work in "The Entertainer" (NBC, 1976), "The Murder of Mary Phagen" (NBC, 1988), "12 Angry Men" (Showtime, 1998) and "Inherit the Wind" (Showtime 1999).
