Lord was the first actor to play the character [[Felix Leiter]]<ref name="The Scarecrow Video Movie Guide">{{cite book|last=The Staff and Friends of Scarecrow|title=The Scarecrow Video Movie Guide|year=2004|publisher=Sasquatch Books|isbn=978-1-57061-415-6|page=569}}</ref> in the [[James Bond (film series)|James Bond]] film series, introduced in 1962 in the first Bond film, ''Dr. No''.

Lord credited [[Gary Cooper]] as his on-screen role model<ref name="No Resting, Coasting for Lord" /> and the inspiration for his characterization of Stoney Burke.

Lord was considered for [[Eliot Ness]] in ''[[The Untouchables (1959 TV series)|The Untouchables]]'' before [[Robert Stack]] won the role.<ref name="Eliot Ness and the Untouchables: The Historical Reality and the Film and Television Depictions">{{cite book|last=Tucker|first=Kenneth|title=Eliot Ness and the Untouchables: The Historical Reality and the Film and Television Depictions|year=2000|publisher=McFarland & Company|isbn=978-0-7864-0772-9|page=49}}</ref> He did appear in the Season One episode "The Jake Lingle Killing."

According to [[William Shatner]],<ref name="Up Till Now: The Autobiography">{{cite book | last1 =Shatner| first1 =William |last2=Fisher |first2=David |page=119 | title =Up Till Now: The Autobiography| publisher=St. Martin's Griffin | year =2009 | isbn =978-0-312-56163-5}}</ref> in 1966, [[Gene Roddenberry]] offered Lord the role of Captain [[James T. Kirk]] on ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek]]'' to replace [[Jeffrey Hunter]], whose wife was making too many demands. Lord asked for 50 percent ownership of the show, so Roddenberry offered the role to Shatner.

=== ''Hawaii Five-O'' ===
[[File:Jack Lord 1974.JPG|thumb|180px|Lord in 1974.]]
Lord starred in ''Hawaii Five-O'' for its 12 seasons (1968 to 1980) as Detective Steve McGarrett, appointed by the governor to head the (fictional) State Police criminal investigation department in Honolulu, Hawaii.<ref name="The Historian, Television, and Television History">{{cite book|last=Taylor|first=Philip M|title=The Historian, Television, and Television History|year=2005|publisher=University Of Luton Press|isbn=978-1-86020-586-6|pages=77–94|author2=Roberts, Graham}}</ref> The opening sequence includes a shot of Lord standing on a penthouse balcony of the [[Ilikai Hotel & Luxury Suites|Ilikai]] hotel. Chin Ho Kelly,<ref name="Booking Hawaii Five-O : An Episode Guide and Critical History of the 1968-1980 Television Detective Series">{{cite book | last =Rhodes| first =Karen |page=31 | title =Booking Hawaii Five-O : An Episode Guide and Critical History of the 1968–1980 Television Detective Series| publisher=McFarland & Company | year =1997 | isbn =978-0-7864-0171-0}}</ref> the name of the police detective played by [[Kam Fong Chun|Kam Fong]], was a tip-of-the-hat to Ilikai developer  Chinn Ho. Lord's [[catchphrase]] “Book 'em, Danno!"<ref name="The Historian, Television, and Television History" /> became a part of pop culture. In the original run of the series (but not in syndication), at the end of each episode would be a promo: "This is Jack Lord inviting you to be with us next week for (name of episode). Be here. Aloha!" He was instrumental in the casting of native Hawaiians, instead of mainland actors.<ref name="The Historian, Television, and Television History" /> Lord insisted his character drive Ford vehicles; McGarrett drove a 1967 [[Mercury Park Lane]] in the pilot, a 1968 Park Lane from 1968 to 1974, and a 1974 [[Mercury Marquis]] for the remainder of the series (this very car was shown in the [[Hawaii Five-O (1968 TV series)|2010 remake]]).<ref name="TV Guide-Our Take" />

When series creator [[Leonard Freeman]] died in 1974, the show's ownership was shared among Lord, [[CBS]], and Freeman's estate,<ref name="The Historian, Television, and Television History" /> with a contract that made Lord executive producer and gave him complete control over content. He was a hands-on partner who paid attention to minute details<ref name="No Resting, Coasting for Lord">{{cite news|last=Laurent|first=Lawrence|title=No Resting, Coasting for Lord|newspaper=Sarasota Herald-Tribune|date=16 January 1972}}</ref> and was known for battles with network executives.

The seventh season premiere of the rebooted ''[[Hawaii Five-0 (2010 TV series)|Hawaii Five-0]]'' featured an appearance that featured the old and new versions of Steve McGarrett, made possible through CGI. To execute this concept, permission was first secured from Lord's estate, managed by a bank that required a script review. With the estate's approval, work began. Counter Punch Studios created a CG version of Jack Lord's face, working with Picture Shop visual effects to add realistic skin textures based on images from Lord's final season in the original series.<ref>{{cite magazine | url=https://ew.com/article/2016/09/23/hawaii-five-0-jack-lord-cameo/ | title='Hawaii Five-0': That Impossible Cameo Explained — Exclusive | magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]] }}</ref>

Cinematographers sometimes refer to a 50mm lens ("5-0") as a "Jack Lord" in reference to the name of the show that made him famous.<ref name="A-Z Guide of Film Production Terms">{{cite news |title=A-Z Guide of Film Production Terms |newspaper=Kinema |year=2008 |url=http://www.kinema.uwaterloo.ca/article.php?id=291&books_dvd_reports |access-date=2011-09-21 |archive-date=2016-03-04 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304120916/http://www.kinema.uwaterloo.ca/article.php?id=291&books_dvd_reports |url-status=dead }}</ref>

== Artist ==
During his years at NYU, Lord and his brother Bill opened the Village Academy of Arts.<ref name="About Jack Lord, Actor and Artist" /> Jack's childhood dream was to become an artist. His first professional sale was in 1941 to the Metropolitan Museum of Art for his two linoleum cuts, entitled ''Vermont'' and ''Fishing Shacks, Block Island''.<ref name="Stranger in Paradise">{{cite journal|last=Day|first=Carol|title=Stranger in Paradise|journal=People|date=9 February 1998|volume=49|issue=5}}</ref>

==Personal life==
In 1942, Lord married his first wife, Ann Willard. They divorced in 1947.<ref name="Stranger in Paradise"/> Their union produced a son, but Lord only saw him once when the boy was an infant. On August 24, 1955, his son died, aged 12 years, following a brief battle with [[hepatitis]] (he is buried in Fairfield County, Connecticut [state file number 14006]). Lord only learned of his son's death after receiving a copy of his death certificate from his son's mother. Ann Willard Ryan remarried in the 1950s and died on December 30, 2004.<ref name="TV Guide-Our Take">{{Cite web|url=https://www.rememberingjacklord.com/biography|title=Biography|website=Remember Jack Lord}}</ref>

Lord met his second wife while house hunting in upstate [[New York (state)|New York]].<ref>{{cite news|last1=Hanneman|first1=Mufi|title=The Jack Lord Only His Secretary Knew|work=Midweek|publisher=Honolulu Star Advertiser|date=October 15, 2014}}</ref> On January 17, 1949, Lord married fashion designer Marie de Narde (1905-2005), a job she gave up to devote her time to him and his career.<ref name="About Jack Lord, Actor and Artist"/> Until 1957, the couple lived near the [[Lescaze House]] on [[List of numbered streets in Manhattan|East 48th Street]] in [[New York City|New York]] before moving to [[California]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rememberingjacklord.com/getting-to-know-marie|title=Marie!|website=www.rememberingjacklord.com|accessdate=29 June 2022}}</ref>

==Death==
After ''Hawaii Five-O'' ended its run in 1980, Lord kept a low profile and was rarely seen in public. His final TV appearance was that same year in a failed pilot for a new CBS series called ''M Station: Hawaii'' which he also directed (it had been filmed in early 1979, immediately before shooting the final season of ''Hawaii Five-O''). Lord suffered from [[Alzheimer's disease]] for at least seven years before his death, although some accounts have suggested that he may have had the illness as early as the final season of ''Hawaii Five-O'', in 1979.<ref>{{cite book|last=Donnelley|first=Paul|title=Fade to Black: A Book of Movie Obituaries|year=2003|publisher=Omnibus Press|isbn=978-0711995123|pages=434, 435}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/53623/hawaii-five-o-the-12th-and-final-season/|title=Hawaii Five-O - The 12th and Final Season|website=DVD Talk|language=en|access-date=2019-06-27}}</ref> He died of [[congestive heart failure]] at his home in [[Honolulu]], on January 21, 1998, at the age of 77, leaving an estate of $40 million. He predeceased his ''Five-O'' co-star [[Richard Denning]], who died nine months later in October 1998. He was a philanthropist and the entire estate went to Hawaiian charities upon his wife Marie's death in 2005.<ref name="From Jack and Marie Lord, a parting gift of $40 million">{{cite news|title=From Jack and Marie Lord, a parting gift of $40 million|last=Daysog|first=Rick|newspaper=Honolulu Advertiser|date=22 January 2006 |url=http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2006/Jan/22/ln/FP601220358.html}}</ref>

== Memorial ==
A bronze bust of Lord by Hawaii sculptor Lynn Weiler Liverton was unveiled in a ceremony at the [[Kahala Mall]] outside Macy's on June 19, 2004. The Lords lived in a condominium in the [[Kāhala, Hawaii|Kahala]] area, and they were known to frequent the neighborhood mall. The nonprofit Jack Lord Memorial Fund, which raised the money for the memorial, was co-chaired by British ''Hawaii Five-O'' fan Esperanza Isaac and Lord's co-star [[Douglas Mossman|Doug Mossman]].<ref name="Busted!">{{cite news |title=Busted!|last=Ryan |first=Tim |newspaper=Honolulu Advertiser|date=17 June 2004 |url=http://archives.starbulletin.com/2004/06/17/features/story1.html}}</ref><ref name="Jack Lord Statue">{{cite web | title=Jack Lord Statue | publisher=Hawaii Five-O Fan Club | url=http://www.hawaiifive0.org/statue.shtml| access-date=23 May 2010}}</ref>
