Jack Klugman




Odd Couple legend Jack Klugman, has died at age 90.


Klugman died at his Northridge, Calif. home today, with his wife at his side, the Associated Press reported.


Born in rough-and-tumble South Philadelphia to Russian Jewish immigrants, Klugman took the part that made him famous in the 1970s, playing the sloppy, cigar-puffing Oscar Madison opposite Tony Randall as neurotic neat freak Felix Unger.



Klugman and Randall shared a New York City Manhattan apartment that entertained ABC viewers for five seasons.


Klugman won two Emmy Awards and earned a Golden Globe as Oscar, a New York sports journalist.



Having photographed Jack Klugman many times over the years, he was always a class act who always wanted to pose for some good shots. Another legend that will surely be missed.
