Sorry for this very late post.
Upon reflection, it seems to me that there are similarities between Jack Lord and a certain other megalomaniac--namely, the Orange Baboon in the Oval Office!
Anyone agree?

Tim O'Kelly (before he changed his name to Matt Damon) was in the Hawaii Five-O pilot.
I remember seeing pics of Lord in the National Enquirer (I didn't buy it, my mother did). He was really old-unrecognizable. They said none of his co-stars would attend his funeral.
I heard he donated to art charities in Hawaii.
I think he had intensity on Hawaii Five-O, I never considered him a likable persona but as others said, the cops of the era were kind of distant anyway.
Stack was good on Unsolved Mysteries. Some of those stories were downright spooky, like the guy who went to an ATM machine and was killed-and the video image showed a face in the frame behind him. "But there was another man..." as Stack said in the show.

Lord gave a lovely, heartfelt performance as Stoney Burke.
Warren Oates, his co-star on Stoney Burke, didn't have much good to say of him, but did say you couldn't fault Lord's professionalism.
Lord was memorable in "Man of the West".
He was a big fan and a friend of Gary Cooper, who he worked with in "Man of the West" and "The Court Martial of Billy Mitchell". Lord apparently modeled himself after Cooper.
Lord said he turned down the lead in "Ben Casey" because he didn't want to deal with "human misery" from week to week.
Lord said "Hawaii 5-O" was designed to "beat the machine".
He was married to his second wife for 49 years.

Tele, your baboon looks 10 times smarter than the one in the White House. I wonder who his hair colorist is.
