Jack Klugman

Actor -- via the New York Times. A stronger precis than you might expect; he appeared in "Days of Wine and Roses," "12 Angry Men," and "Gypsy"; and he did his share of anthology television, including "Playhouse 90," "Kraft Television Theatre," and "Naked City"; and he tied Burgess Meredith for the most starring roles on "The Twilight Zone" (4). He will still be typed as TV's Oscar Madison on "The Odd Couple" and Quincy, M.E.
