Although Kevin keeps his private life, well, private, there is always information that slips through the cracks. As he explained in a 1998 interview with the London Evening Standard,

"It's not that I want to create some bullshit mystique by maintaining a silence about my personal life, it is just that the less you know about me, the easier it is to convince you that I am that character on screen. It allows an audience to come into a movie theatre and believe I am that person."

Kevin Spacey is bestly known as Oscar winning star of "American Beauty" in which he performed the role of a disaffected suburban husband. He worked with Jack Lemmon on stage and television in O'Neill's Long Day's Journey Into Night (1987) and in film in David Mamet's Glengarry Glen Ross (1992). His role in the 1999 film American Beauty earned him a Best Actor Oscar. He dedicated this Oscar award to Jack Lemmon.
