Odd Couple Again With the Neck

When you think of the late Jack Klugman, what's the first thing that comes to mind? Perhaps it's his iconic portrayal of Oscar Madison, one-half of the Goggle box version of Neil Simon's The Odd Couple (the other filled by Tony Randall). Perhaps his Broadway appearances, his starring role on the tv set series Quincy, M.Due east. or those four oh-so-impactful appearances he fabricated on the original The Twilight Zone. Whatsoever it may be, those performances and many others can all be described in one discussion: memorable.

Jack was indeed memorable in pretty much everything he did, bringing an everyman quality to his characters, whether they were comedic or dramatic. Jim Rosin, an thespian and writer who worked with him on Quincy, every bit well as the author of the book Quincy, K.E., the Tv set Serial, offers, "He was intense and temperamental, peculiarly when those he worked with didn't really give information technology their all. He possessed a lot of artistic integrity and he strove to maintain those high standards on the show.

"I was fortunate to learn from him," he continues, "because despite my youth and experience, I jumped into the arena with enthusiasm. And if I stumbled, even fell down, I got right support. I believe he understood that at my stage of the game, there was no effort without error and shortcoming, and then for that I had a lot of respect for him, because he was a very wise, experienced man that had come up from a stage background and was a very, very difficult worker. He was a empathetic human and a private human. He was a bit shy with people in public and very down to globe. He was South Philadelphia from the word get; he could sit down in a bar and talk horse racing, sports or any you wanted to talk about."

Journalist Mark Dawidziak, whose various books include Everything I Demand to Know I Learned in the Twilight Zone, notes, "I think the quality of Jack Klugman's piece of work that made him then effective, whether in drama or one-act, was that he made the characters so downwards to earth, so grounded in reality and and then relatable, whether giving voice to his frustrations with Felix on The Odd Couple, taking advice from an archangel on The Twilight Zone, shouting his indignation about some injustice on Quincy, M.Due east. or quietly considering testify that might send a kid to the electrical chair in 12 Aroused Men. And off-camera, he was equally as genuine and downwards-to-earth as his characters."

Ed Robertson, Television historian, the author of numerous "making of" books and host of the podcast/radio prove Telly Confidential, reflects, "There's a clip of Jack Klugman that ever comes to mind when I call up of him. He did not do a lot of game shows, but when he did, he not only played them seriously, but he showed a sense of joy and exuberance for the contestants. He did this whenever he helped the contestant win big money. He just went bananas, running out of his chair, hugging the contestant and but going bonkers. It's just a pure expression of joy and happiness. It'southward a response that sort of belies the public image of Jack Klugman. That public image is this kind of grouchy guy who could be hard on his writers, although as I understand that, he was difficult on his writers but because he strove for excellence and that was it. It was that bulldoze for excellence that he lived by and that he tried to instill in others. Information technology seems to me that you did not have an authentic Jack Klugman conversation if he didn't yell at you lot."

Jim Rosin recalls the fourth dimension he spent living on the Upper West Side of New York many years ago, and a fourth dimension he was walking down Columbus Avenue when he encountered Tony Randall, who lived nearby. "I approached him and said, 'Hi, I'm Jim Rosin. I piece of work with Jack on Quincy and I'yard going to be flying out tomorrow to act in an episode that I wrote,'" he says. "Nosotros talked for a few minutes and before he left, he put his hand on my shoulder and he said, 'Jack would swallow you, chew you up and spit you lot out if you didn't know what you lot were doing.' These guys were complete professionals in that respect, and very demanding professionally. He looked at me with this fatherly gaze and said, 'I desire you to retrieve something. If Jack ever yells at you, I don't want you to take it personally. Information technology's because he wants yous to be better than y'all are.' I never forgot that and years later, in 2009 when the Quincy book came out, I sent Jack a re-create and was talking to him on the phone and told him that story. In that location was dead silence on the other stop of the line, then I heard his raspy voice say, 'You know, it'due south true.'"

Jack was born Apr 27, 1922 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to a chapeau-maker mother and house painter father. During World War II he served in the Us Regular army, so attended Carnegie Institute of Technology, which is now known as Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, from which he graduated in 1948. Interested in interim, he wasn't exactly encouraged by his drama teacher who suggested he get a truck driver instead. "When he was told he wouldn't brand information technology every bit an actor," suggests Bob Leszczak, author of The Odd Couple on Stage and Screen, "that'due south exactly what drove him. He wasn't the normal skillful-looking leading human being blazon, certainly non a moving picture idol, simply obviously he proved him wrong."

Geoffrey Marking, popular civilisation historian and author of The Lucy Book: A Complete Guide to Her Five Decades on Television, muses, "Everybody thinks of a sure kind of performer from the classic era equally coming from a sure place, like comedians being Jewish and coming from Brooklyn, New York. Jack Klugman comes from Philadelphia, which produced a lot of comedy people and singers. So his emphasis is not New York, it'due south Philadelphian. He'due south also 1 of those guys who went through World State of war II and came out the other finish wanting to be in show business. It was a magical time where a lot of people got into theater and then into live television. It was a fourth dimension on tv set when, if you could walk and chew glue and say a complete English judgement that made sense, y'all could probably get a job. And it was because nobody else wanted to do it. It paid a 10^thursday that the same work in motion-picture show or Broadway would pay.

"You had to work very long hours under very hot lights, and everything was live," he continues. "At that place were no second chances. You either had to perform or you didn't, and that is the gauntlet he ran doing things on Broadway and on goggle box in the early on 1950s. Sometimes he played a larger part, sometimes he was the sympathetic hero, sometimes he was the villain. Sometimes he was just standing there, because information technology didn't affair. You lot didn't get a big star, you worked. So you lot would do whatever was offered to y'all and years go by and y'all're doing a loop. It'southward almost like summer stock. I week you're the star of the show, the adjacent week you're fourth guy on the left or the second lead. And while he was doing that, he was likewise start to do smaller things on Broadway. Sometimes the shows didn't concluding very long, but he was getting to brand a name for himself. Then, in the late 1950s, his career started to shift. He began to go bigger and improve dramatic parts."

Jack, who really did tend to alternating betwixt stage productions and television appearances, start garnered serious attending in the 1957 film 12 Aroused Men, a courtroom drama that would actually exist given a more humorous take on an episode of The Odd Couple years later. After that, he was brought out to the West Coast where he began shooting filmed TV serial similar Alfred Hitchcock Presents and Gunsmoke. "The parts," says Geoffrey, "got deeper — not on Broadway yet, but on telly. He was becoming one of those people that could be counted on as a guest star on shows where you had your regulars and you had that one big guest star."

All of this caught the attending of Broadway producer David Merrick, who was casting for a new musical. "Ethel Merman had abandoned Broadway," Geoffrey details, "to get married to Robert Six, who was the president of Continental Airlines. And so she found out that her husband was cheating on her in New York City, so she wanted to come back to Broadway. She did Happy Hunting in 1956 and then at that place was Gypsy, which wasn't Miss Merman's part. She played Gypsy's mother and they needed somebody who was the right historic period, significant that he could reasonably await like Ethel Merman's lover. He also had to be funny, had to take desolation, be able to handle himself with masculinity, he had to be able to deliver the dramatic moments and he had to exercise the one matter Jack actually couldn't do, which was sing.

7 of 30

"And then Miss Merman knew of him, saw his auditions and the last part of it was that they were going to sing together. Jack said, 'If she screams in my ear, I'yard leaving,' knowing that he couldn't peradventure duet with her and be heard. Then what'southward the point? As a result, Miss Merman lowered her vox downwardly almost to the point where it cracked to show him, 'I'm going to work with you on this.' So he was cast equally Herbie in Gypsy. And also being an enormous hit — and being one of the near revived musicals in history — information technology gave us the song 'Everything's Coming Upwardly Roses.' Jack had a very successful run with Gypsy, which made him a Broadway star."

8 of 30

Whenever he had time off from the show, Jack would nevertheless practice goggle box, recognizing that he continuously needed to be in front of the public, because he wasn't a kid. In fact, past the fourth dimension distinction hit, Jack was well-nigh 40. Not that he had a lot to actually worry about as he got to work with Judy Garland, playing her manager in I Could Go on Singing. "And then," laughs Geoffrey, "he's got these 2 really high profile musical things, though he doesn't sing in the 2nd ane, merely he's starred opposite Judy Garland and Ethel Merman. It'due south very difficult not to go noticed when those two things happen dorsum-to-back within a short period of time. He continues to do telly both in New York and on the West Coast, and and so he really connects with Ron Serling and The Twilight Zone, doing four episodes that are considered classics."

Those episodes are 'A Passage for Trumpet,' 'A Game of Pool,' 'Expiry Send' and 'In Praise of Pip,' every one of which is worth checking out. "When he appeared on TV Confidential, as shortly every bit I mentioned Ron Serling, he just lit up," Ed Robertson says. "I mean, he loved doing that evidence and counted his episodes in the top v of everything he'd washed. He felt delivering the words of Rod Serling was a run a risk to perform greatness. And this is a guy coming from the Broadway stage, who went on to perform the words of Neil Simon. But a classically-trained actor who non merely recognized expert writing, merely relished it. Going back to the signal of the mode he strove for excellence, I know that he was particularly proud of his work on The Twilight Zone, especially 'A Game of Pool' with Jonathan Winters. He really had a framed still from that episode in his bedroom."

"As splendid as Jack was as Oscar," says Marking, "I really recollect his most sublime TV work was in The Twilight Zone, tying Burgess Meredith for the almost episodes (four) in a lead role. And as wonderful as he is equally downwards-and-out trumpet thespian Joey Crown in 'A Passage for Trumpet,' I really retrieve his nearly moving functioning is as the loving father in 'In Praise of Pip.' This is where he rips your heart out. Jack made an observation nearly his career that I thought was so spot-on, I used information technology in my Twilight Zone volume: 'I learned that there are certain playwrights, like Rod Serling, who just suit me. It was a joy to play his characters and to roll his words around in my rima oris. What characters he gave you lot to play! What words he gave you to say! Lovely words. They just seemed to resonate with me. In that location take been three writers that seemed to virtually accommodate me: Rod Serling, Clifford Odets and Neil Simon. With Neil Simon, it was the humour and the rhythms. With Odets, it was the staccato style and muckraking mental attitude. But with Rod Serling it was the acrimony, the defiance, and the burn down. He brought such burn down to everything he wrote.'"

Points out Bob Leszczak, "Before The Odd Couple, Jack was in a xiii-week sitcom from 1964 to 1965 called Harris Against the Globe, which was part of a Monday dark cake of shows NBC put on called 90 Bristol Courtroom. It was three shows back-to-back, Karen, Harris and Tom, Dick and Mary. All three were set in the same community, which was an apartment complex. They were separate one-half hours who all shared a handyman character. It was aired against CBS' big comedy night with shows like The Andy Griffith Show and The Lucy Show, and as a result nobody was watching and it never clicked. In Harris Against the Globe, Jack was a married put upon guy where everything goes wrong. It was his first sitcom experience and he didn't want to do another 1. Until The Odd Couple."

12 of 30

After Harris Against the World information technology was dorsum to Broadway for a show chosen Tchin-Tchin, in which he performed from October 1962 to May 1963, once over again leading to goggle box and then, in Nov 1965, replacing Walter Matthau in Neil Simon's iconic tale of divorced sloppy and nifty roommates, The Odd Couple, as Oscar Madison playing against Eddie Bracken's Felix Unger (a office originated by Art Carney). When that hit testify airtight, he starred in the less successful The Sudden Accidental Re-Education of Equus caballus Johnson. Says Geoffrey, "He goes back to television set, where he just keeps working. He could accept fabricated a very dainty living for himself merely being a guest star on television, which he continued doing through the balance of the sixties to 1970, when The Odd Couple was beingness turned into a TV testify."

13 of 30

The Odd Couple was existence adjusted for television by Garry Marshall and Jerry Belson, who, despite pushback from the network, were able to cast Jack as Oscar and Tony Randall as Felix. Explains Bob, "Garry Marshall had seen Jack in a play chosen Tchin-Tchin, but information technology was really his sister, Penny Marshall, who recommended Jack. She had worked with him on a bear witness that I was surprised simply lasted a single season called Then Came Bronson. When Garry was deciding who should exist cast every bit Oscar Madison, information technology was Penny who brought him upwards."

14 of 30

"Now here'south where we don't exactly know the truth and I'll tell you why," details Geoffrey. "There are people who claim Walter Matthau was the starting time choice for the prove, but he turned information technology downward and then Jack was the next choice. There are people who will tell you that they were looking for someone to play Oscar and couldn't find someone. Jack Carter told me that he was in serious negotiations to play Oscar and that his reputation for being hard soured the deal. Merely as far as he knew, he was being signed and the next thing he knew Jack Klugman was in — which was very smart of Garry Marshall. Most people who are successful writers and producers will tell you that a show will rise and fall on the casting. Jack had played the function, he knew where the laughs were, he'd already created his version of the character and didn't have to start from scratch. And, of course, he was paired with Tony Randall, who played Felix Unger and had had a very like evidence business groundwork on Broadway and alive telly. Then when he started to brand films at about 40, Tony Randall became a star. For both of these men at this betoken, film work was starting to go away. They were doing a lot of boob tube and this opportunity comes forth to star in a TV series."

"Jack and Tony Randall had really worked together once in 1955 on a show called Appointment with Risk," Bob says. "It was an hour-long live drama that they worked on, but it aired once, nobody knows what happened to the kinescope and and so they went their separate ways, never knowing what would come years subsequently when they were bandage on The Odd Couple."

Comments Marking, "I loved talking to Jack about his career, which I had the honour of doing on three occasions. And I say talk because that's precisely what information technology was. Never an interview only an actual talk. One of those talks centered on The Odd Couple, and he was characteristically quick to praise his friend and co-star Tony Randall'southward portrayal of Felix, as well as his predecessor in the role of Oscar. 'Walter Matthau was brilliant as Oscar [in the Broadway and film versions of The Odd Couple],' he said. 'You couldn't bear on him. I had merely one large advantage over Walter. I was Oscar. Oscar is me. The just difference betwixt Oscar and me is that I cook. Other than that, playing Oscar is like putting on a comfy onetime jacket. I honey gambling, sports and horse racing. I'thou a slob. It is me. I may be like Oscar in a lot of ways, but Tony isn't Felix. Tony is not fussy or impeccably neat . . . If people recollect he's Felix, it's a testament to how perfect his operation was.'"

Picking upwards the scenario, Geoffrey states, "1 matter most The Odd Couple is that Tony and Jack were very unhappy with the way they were filming it. They were using the original set from the pic and were shooting it similar the moving picture with one camera and a express mirth rail. And they hated it. They'd both washed theater and both knew what this kind of one-act needed — the audience's laughter and energy to sort of buoy the comedy. So their first thing was to remove the laugh rail and see how that worked, which didn't. When the testify came back for its second flavour, in that location was a new set and a studio audience. It was done the same way that I Love Lucy was with three cameras and an audience. And by this time, Paramount endemic Desilu and they'd knocked down the wall between the two studios and, and so, had these soundstages where they could accept audiences, because they were already designed for that. That'southward why all of those Paramount sitcoms of the 1970s have studio audiences."

18 of 30

Co-ordinate to Ed, what Jack loved about working with Tony Randall in particular is that he felt there was no ameliorate improvisational partner that he worked with over the grade of his career. Muses Ed, "Like well-nigh people, when y'all say improvisation, you probably retrieve, 'You're just kind of talking off the top of your caput.' Every bit Jack point out in his book, Tony and Me, and when we spoke in 2010, improvisation is not just talking. Information technology goes back to what acting actually is about, which is reacting. He said what made Randall and so skilful at improvisation is that he would provoke a response from his acting partner. Jack cited several examples of how Randall would exercise that on The Odd Couple. The one that springs to mind immediately is where Oscar teaches Felix how to play football game. In the episode, you can see they're supposed to line up similar an offensive histrion and a defensive thespian. Tony lined right up, olfactory organ-to-nose with Jack, which he wasn't supposed to do. In real life, Tony Randall was one of the biggest sports fans in New York Urban center and a Giants fan, just as Felix he lined up in his own fashion and got correct into Oscar'due south face. And the response he provoked in Jack, which remains in the episode, was him saying, 'I don't want to kiss you, Felix.'"

The Odd Couple ran from 1970 to 1975 and past the fourth dimension information technology was over Jack had taken habitation a pair of Emmy Awards for his portrayal of Oscar Madison — equally well as a 1974 diagnosis of throat cancer, which he battled and seemed to have been victorious over. From at that place, he went on to star in Quincy, M.Due east., which cast him every bit a medical examiner who solves crimes forensically. The grapheme was featured in four TV movies earlier being spun off into his own series which ran from 1976 to 1983. "It was a unlike kind of evidence," reflects Bob, "but he was still kind of cranky, still had the cigar and there were definitely elements of Oscar Madison. Again, it was a more than serious show, but there were elements of Klugman and Oscar that carried over to the Quincy character."

"The appeal of the show for Jack," suggests Jim, "came from the fact that he had had his throat problem. Frank Sinatra sent him to his doctor and the md was able to successfully cure him at the time. So he came out of the feel with a very profound gratitude to doctors and was looking to exercise a dramatic role. He wasn't anxious to do anymore sitcoms, because he didn't experience he could top what he and Tony Randall had done on The Odd Couple. He was getting all these comedic scripts, but he wasn't interested. He was interested in this script by Lou Shaw about a forensic pathologist who would solve crimes forensically. He partnered with Glen Larson, who had a whole different take on the idea. He wanted to practice a show that was more in his wheelhouse, about a playboy detective who would run down the beach with girls in bikinis; chase people in cars and effort to solve these crimes.

21 of 30

"My understanding," he elaborates, "is that they first went to Robert Wagner, who was doing the show Switch and was unavailable. Then they approached James Earl Jones. Then Frank Price became the head of television set at Universal and was a big fan of Jack and got very much behind the idea of him playing this character. Information technology worked out, because Jack was non interested in playing a guy getting into car chases and running down the beach with girls in bikinis. And so Jack came on the prove, only he and Glen Larson were like oil and water, so after the first season Jack took more control of the show and Glen Larson left."

22 of 30

From 1986 to 1987, Jack did movement back into the world of sitcoms with You lot Again?, costarring John Stamos, which, unfortunately, didn't fare very well. Things got more than serious for him in 1988 when he lost a vocal chord to pharynx cancer surgery, but continued to act even though he now had a soft, raspy vox. The adjustment was difficult for him. "He wasn't shy nearly it," Geoffrey says. "He was grateful to have survived. He was grateful that the operation worked and he had a high quality of life. He talked funny, simply thought that was a small cost to pay for adding years to his life."

23 of 30

He was also genuinely gratefully for Tony Randall, who was the one that, by all reports, really motivated him to get out there and embrace his career and life again, despite the changes. Geoffrey explains, "We can either assume that when Tony Randall lit a fire under Jack to go back to piece of work after his surgery, that that deed of kindness and honey fabricated them closer friends. Or we could assume that Jack Klugman and Tony Randall already had a friendship based on kindness and beloved, and because of that kindness and beloved Tony helped him. Either way, how many costars tin can you point to from a idiot box series who were that deeply involved in one another's life? The only other sitcom I can remember of where two of the stars of the show ended up deeply caring for one some other was I Honey Lucy with Lucille Ball and Vivian Vance. Even Jackie Gleason and Fine art Carney, who each did lovely things for the other, weren't in constant touch and didn't take any sort of social life together."

24 of 30

"Early on," Bob adds, "when Tony Randall get-go met Jack Klugman, they were in a limo and going over to exercise a table read or something for Garry Marshall, and Klugman was smoking. Randall had this major thing nearly smoking and he was all of a sudden turned off and nigh wasn't going to exercise it, because he didn't want to work with this 'disgusting' smoker. It was a lilliputian crude early, I guess, but they bonded during the show and after became much better friends. Klugman was at Randall's side as he was dying. They really did become best buddies. They were there for each other at the times they needed information technology the well-nigh — which is really nice, considering it doesn't always happen, especially in television where, when your serial ends, commonly you say you'll stay in touch, only never do. They did."

25 of 30

Ed Robertson relates, "When Jack lost his vocalisation, it was Randall who pushed him and kept him from wallowing and who provoked him, for lack of a amend word, by maxim, 'No, you're going to get through this. I'one thousand going to help you, because I demand you. We're going to do The Odd Couple for my national theater and you lot're going to star, you're going to be great and I'thou going to assist you.' So he gave him a goal and something to train for, to piece of work for, to fight for. Klugman said in his book, 'Tony gave me a second life.'"

While Jack made TV guest appearances during this fourth dimension (and even co-starred with Tony in the Telly movie The Odd Couple: Together Again), he definitely found condolement on the stage with and without Randall. Together they did The Odd Couple a number of times, as well as 3 Men on a Horse and Neil Simon's The Sunshine Boys.

26 of 30

In his private life, Jack married actress Brett Somers in 1953, the 2 of them divorcing in 1977, and in 2008 he married Peggy Crosby, who he was with until his death. He and Brett had two sons, Adam and David. Looking back at those marriages, Geoffrey comments, "Brett Somers was so unlike from him, because Jack was Jewish from Philadelphia and she was from New England. Brett was precipitous-witted, but she wasn't a beauty, she wasn't particularly a bully actress, but whatever the allure was, it was at that place. But by the fourth dimension The Odd Couple began to exist filmed, their marriage was already in problem. They had 2 sons and Brett had had a daughter before she married Jack, and there was contention betwixt them almost how to enhance their children. On meridian of that, Jack had some actually large personality quirks. He smoked cigars, he gambled — in that location was a lot of Oscar Madison in him. It's why he played the part then well and, same thing with Walter Matthau, they weren't stretching to play this part all that much.

27 of 30

"Other issues came up between them," he elaborates. "When The New Match Game premiered in 1973, Jack was ready to be a part of it. He was on the first and 2d weeks, but so came a time when either the shooting scheduled interfered with The Odd Couple or he wasn't feeling well and he told the producers, 'Hey, let my wife do this.' Brett was currently on The New Perry Bricklayer playing Gertie the secretary. She was a current name, because she was working in television at the moment and Brett clicked on Match Game. After that, Jack was barely on the show. So, once Brett had her own income and her own career going and he didn't take to worry about that, they separated. They didn't divorce for years, but they stopped living together. They didn't dislike each other — which is why she appeared on so many episodes of The Odd Couple — they just didn't want to live together anymore.

"He was simply remarried for the last iv years of of life; he had been unmarried from 1977 to 2008. Why? We can theorize that he was older, he was cantankerous, he was a gambler, he was a cigar smoker and he was set in his ways. At the same time, I've never heard anybody say a bad word nearly Jack Klugman. I'one thousand talking most coworkers and people who worked with him on sets. Consummate professional, enormously talented, focused on the work. Tony Randall spoke beautifully of him, Garry Marshall spoke beautifully of him. Fifty-fifty Brett did. She made jokes that he was a pain in her neck, merely they stayed friends. Only I don't know why, in his personal life, he chose to exist such a recluse romantically."

Unfortunately, cancer came back into his life, this time in the grade of prostate cancer, which claimed him at the age of 90 on Dec 24, 2012. "He lived a long life," says Geoffrey, "and an extraordinarily successful life in pursuit of his profession. He washed expert."

"I believe he was a very versatile, underrated performer," opines Jim. "He could play a comedic character, someone who was tragically henpecked or a sloppy sportswriter, yet he could likewise turn around and play a very sinister character, like he did sometimes. Once again, versatile."

29 of 30

Speaking of his profession, it'south interesting that Jack rounded it all off in 2012 with a phase production of the film that first brought him to people's attention in a major way, 12 Angry Men. Information technology was destined to be his final role. "He was very happy getting that original role," smiles Bob, "because it actually established him and it was quite a movie. There were a lot of names in that who all went on to other things and he certainly went on to a diverse career."

"In that location is an irony, or the completeness of a circle, in the coincidence of Jack'south beginning major role being in the film 12 Angry Men and his final phase role being in 12 Angry Men," concurs Geoffrey. "Two such powerful performances in the same work, decades apart. All corking actors should have such milestone bookends to their careers. Klugman has ii of them, the other being his large idiot box breakthrough in The Odd Couple with Tony Randall and his doing the stage version with Tony decades later. The symmetry is fascinating."

In reflecting on Jack Klugman, Mark is struck past the actor'southward earlier argument — quoted above — nearly Rod Serling bringing such fire to everything he wrote. "Jack," says Mark, "brought such fire to everything he played. There's a moment in theTwilight Zoneepisode 'A Passage for Trumpet' when the angel named Gabe tells Joey Crown, 'That'south an infrequent talent, Joey. Don't waste it.' Jack Klugman sure possessed an exceptional talent, and the record shows he didn't waste material information technology. He did, in fact, make the well-nigh of it — to his credit and our groovy benefit."
