Wow, in less than 24hrs two of Hollywood's notable character actors have passed on. Jack Klugman, aged 90 and Charles Durning, aged 89; both of natural causes. Jack Klugman is most famous for 2 TV roles from the 1970s and 1980s The Odd Couple where he portrayed Oscar Madison and Quincy, ME where he portrayed Dr. Quincy. The Dr. Quincy character is also famous for NOT having a first name. hahahaha Man oh man, I used to love that show. I never missed an episode. Jack Klugman is survived by his 2nd wife of just 4.5 yrs and his 2 grown sons, Adam and David from his first marriage to Brett Sommers.
Charles Durning was a prolific character actor he had supporting roles in such hits as The Sting (1973), North Dallas Forty (1979) , True Confessions (1981) and Tootsie (1982). He was also a stage actor and appeared in many plays in NYC. He was also a regular on several TV shows like Evening Shade, First Monday, Everybody Loves Raymond and Rescue Me.
Both will be missed. Rest in Peace!
