Jimmy Lydon

REST PEACEFULLY UNCLE JIMMY

I had the pleasure of meeting Jimmy on several occasions, he was genuinely a very nice man.

Loved watching his movies. His Henry Aldrich series was the best. Had a crush on him Rest In Peace.

I loved his work. He seemed like somebody you could easily relate with.

He was a natural actor and a joy to watch

The warmth of Jimmy's smile and voice brought joy, laughter and great stories to My Actor's Workshop a few years ago. He would run his movies on Sundays at the Bonita Community Center. Jimmy will always be a bright light in our hearts. Ms. D. "Creative Art Of Acting Workshop"

This may sound odd but I often thought of Mr. Lyndon not just because I loved his body of work but because as a child I went to parochial school ( St. Victor's Catholic Parish ) in West Hollywood with his daughter Julie who was a very beautiful, sweet and intelligent young girl. She often spoke of her dad with pride. Wonderful memories to be sure. May God bless the entire Lydon family now and always.

I sent Jimmy a letter back in 2011 asking for information about one of my favorite actresses, the beautiful but tragic actress Gail Russell who he worked with in one of her first film roles "Henry Aldrich Gets Glamour". He replied with a lovely hand written note with personal recollections about the film and his experience in working with her. A true gentlemen and a consummate professional.

One day I was sick and stayed home, mom let me watch TV and I watched a movie about a kid, who was editor of the high school newspaper. It was very funny and I loved it! It was Henry Aldrich, Editor. Years later was able to find to find it and other Henry Aldrich series. Liking the actor, there were other movies available so I bought those. James Lydon was an actor who was an actors actor. True talent
