Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- Jack Lord had a clause in his contracts specifying that wherever a TV series or movie location took him there must be first-class accommodations for two. This was so he could keep his wife (Marie) close to him at all times.

- Hawaii Five-O producer Leonard Freeman looked at Jack Lord as very much a perfectionist. Freeman once said, "Having a star like Jack is like having money in the bank. He's always on time; no bags under his eyes, and he's credibility casting. When he flashes that badge, people believe him." Prior to the Hawaii Five-O series, Jack Lord and Leonard Freeman had worked together on an unsold pilot called Grand Hotel.

- Lord trained at the famous New York Actor's Studio with such future movie stars as Paul Newman, Marilyn Monroe, and Marlon Brando.

- Jack Lord: (in a 1971 "Photoplay" interview, speaking of his siblings and father) Dad paid us a penny a line to learn poetry. I memorized hundreds and hundreds of poems, all of which proved useful later when I had to learn lines.

- Jack Lord: (speaking to "Movie Life Magazine" in 1963) There is a terrible tendency to conform today. Its particularly sad because all the great men and women have had one thing in common - they dared to be different, dared to speak their minds, dared to espouse the unpopular cause.
  Edit Share Hide
- Jack Lord: (telling an interviewer his view of the impact of "Hawaii Five-O" on Hawaii) Hawaii Five-O has given the people of this state a whole industry - the tourist industry - we never had before.
