Jack Klugman Has Died


Jack Klugman, the prolific character actor and regular guy who was loved by millions as the messy one in TV's The Odd Couple and the crime-fighting coroner in Quincy, M.E., died on Christmas Eve, his son said. He was 90.

Klugman, who lost his voice to throat cancer in the 1980s and trained himself to speak again, died with his wife at his side.

  6. Oh how sad. How could anyone not like Jack Klugman. I swear if a Daddy Dearest book comes out I will cry.

    And Charles Durning is dead too??? Hadn't heard that. Must have been something sudden because he is scheduled to perform during the Stratford Festival. How sad.

  9. Aw, I loved Quincy! Eating a sandwich at an autopsy made me laugh so hard when I was a kid. RIP, Mr Klugman.

  10. I loved "The Odd Couple". I thought the show was so stylish and sophisticated when I was a child. Although he had divorced Brett Somers, he never remarried until she passed away. A classy gentleman.

    Charles Durning was fantastic as Jessica Lange's father in "Tootsie".

  13. Oscar made me laugh...the Odd Couple really was a great show in it's time, but Quincy was the best.

  14. He was a terrific dramatic actor too. Check him out in "The Days of Wine and Roses" as Jack Lemmon's AA counselor.

  15. Days of Wine and Roses is a great movie. . .

    I loved The Odd Couple. In the 70's, it was in syndication and I watched it when I got home from school. He and Tony Randall were the best.

  18. Now this one made me sad. I loved both Oscar and Quincy, and Jack Klugman's whole throat cancer battle was something to behold. He will indeed be missed.

  20. Odd as it may sound, Quincy M.E. was one of the reasons I developed my interests in medicine and forensic anthro. It was a treat seeing a cool, fun scientist solving crimes.
    RIP Jack, thank you.

  21. I remember when he played John Stamos's father in You Again? It bombed on NBC in the 80s then Stamos got Full House. It was a really bad show.

  23. RIP Jack Klugman. The Odd Couple is such a classic show. Tony Randall and Jack Klugman remained friends for 6 decades. Truly a wonderful partnership.
