Jack Lord(1920-1998)
- Actor
- Producer
- Director
Jack Lord will probably be best remembered as Steve McGarrett in the
long running television series
Hawaii Five-O (1968), but he
was much more than that however. He starred in several movies, directed
several episodes of his show, was in several Broadway productions, and
was an accomplished artist. Two of his paintings were acquired by New
York's Metropolitan Museum of Art and the British Museum of Modern Art
by the time he was twenty. Lord was also known for being a very
cultured man who loved reading poetry out loud on the set of his TV
show and as being somewhat reclusive at his Honolulu home. He met his
son from his first marriage, who was killed in an accident when he was
thirteen, only once as a baby.
