Cleveland, Ohio, USA:
Jack Weston (geboren als Jack Weinstein; 21. August 1924 – 3. Mai 1996) war ein US-amerikanischer Film-, Bühnen- und Fernsehschauspieler. Weston spielte meist komische Rollen in Filmen wie „Die Kaktusblüte“ und „Bitte nicht die Gänseblümchen essen“, übernahm aber gelegentlich auch ernstere Rollen, wie beispielsweise den hinterlistigen Gauner und Stalker, der zusammen mit Alan Arkin und Richard Crenna in dem Film „Warte, bis es dunkel ist“ (1967) versucht, die blinde Audrey Hepburn zu terrorisieren und auszurauben. Weston hatte unzählige Charakterrollen in großen Filmen wie „Cincinnati Kid“ und „Die Thomas Crown Affäre“. 1981 trat Weston am Broadway in Woody Allens Komödie „Die schwebende Glühbirne“ auf, für die er als Bester Hauptdarsteller für einen Tony Award nominiert wurde. Weitere Bühnenauftritte umfassten „Bells are Ringing“ (mit Judy Holliday), „The Ritz“, „One Night Stand“ und Neil Simons „California Suite“.
