In the legendary comedy 'Some Like It Hot,' Jack Lemmon plays a musician who disguises himself as a woman to hide from the mob. His instrument in the film is the upright bass. Unlike many actors who just 'faked it,' Lemmon (an accomplished pianist and songwriter) took extensive lessons to learn how to properly hold and 'pluck' the bass to look convincing as a jazz professional. The physical comedy of Lemmon lugging the massive instrument around—often in heels—became a defining part of his character, 'Daphne.' His dedication to the instrument's physicality helped ground the absurd premise of the film. Lemmon's musicality often shone through in his legendary career, as he understood that an actor's interaction with an instrument is just as important as their interaction with another person.
