http://www.celebritynooz.com/jack_klugman.aspx
BIRTH DATE: April 27, 1922, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
BIRTH NAME: Jacob Joachim Klugman
CLAIM TO FAME: This versatile actor is known for his many
roles in sitcoms, movies, television, and on Broadway, but
likely best-known for his roles in The Odd Couple during
the 1970s and in Quincy, M.E. in the 1970s and 1980s.
FAMILY LIFE: Klugman was married to Match Game regular
Brett Somers in 1953. Although they legally separated in
1974, they never actually divorced, and remained married
until her death in 2007. The couple had two children, Adam
and David. Klugman married Peggy Crosby in 2008 after
living with her for 20 years.
INFO: Following his service in the United States Army
during World War II, Klugman decided to pursue an acting
career. He struggled at first before landing roles in a
bunch of classic films such as 12 Angry Men in 1957, Days
of Wine and Roses in 1962, and Goodbye, Columbus in 1969.
He found fame when he portrayed Tony Randall's sloppy room-
mate Oscar Madison in the popular television series The Odd
Couple (1970?1975), and won two Emmy Awards for his
performance.
In 1976, he took on the the leading role of medical examiner
Dr. Quincy in the series Quincy, M.E. Klugman also starred
in the original Broadway production of The Odd Couple,
after replacing Walter Matthau.

Tony Randall, and gave the eulogy at Randall's memorial
service in 2004.
Diagnosed with throat cancer in 1974, and ended up having
vocal surgery in 1989, leaving his voice quite harsh and
raspy.
Was once part owner of a racehorse named Jaklin Klugman.
Attended Carnegie-Mellon University.
Was nominated for Broadway's 1960 Tony Award as Best
Supporting or Featured Actor (Musical) for "Gypsy".
Is the last surviving juror from the cast of the original

Serves on the board of directors of New York's National
Actor's Theatre.
Roomed with Charles Bronson at the start of their careers.
Tied with Burgess Meredith for the most appearances (four)
on The Twilight Zone.
Won an Emmy Award for his work on the television series The
Defenders.
Says his greatest thrill was appearing with Humphrey Bogart
and Henry Fonda in a 1955 live television broadcast of The
Petrified Forest.
WHERE IS HE NOW: Klugman published a book in 2005 titled
Tony And Me: A Story of Friendship, in which he detailed
his long friendship with his Odd Couple co-star Tony Randall.
In recent years, Klugman has continued to perform, including
his own one-man show An Evening with Jack Klugman in Burbank
in the fall of 2003.
In 2006, he performed in James Sweet's "The Value of Names"
at the George Street Playhouse in New Brunswick, NJ, and in
2007, he appeared in The Sunshine Boys also at the George
Street Playhouse.
In 2009, he appeared on the PBS series Make 'Em Laugh: The

historians.
