Q. I just finished reading your review of "Kung Fu
Hustle" and I have to know, what is Jack Lemmon's
story about seeing Klaus Kinski buying a hatchet at
Ace Hardware?
Barnaby Thieme, San Francisco
A. Jack Lemmon told me that he was in line at Ace
Hardware in Beverly Hills, and the sales clerk kept
looking past him. "I may not be the biggest star in
the world" he said, "but, jeez, usually when I stand
in line, the clerk will notice me. I turned around,
and there was Klaus Kinski with an ax."
