Tony Randall insisted Jack Klugman (voiceless from cancer) do “The Odd Couple” live. Klugman didn’t just pull it off, he pulled us in. RIP

Randall and Klugman nailing “The Odd Couple” despite age and sickness reminded me how important it is to do what you love. RIP Jack Klugman.

Sad news about Jack Klugman passing. An absolutely distinctive actor. To me he'll always be Oscar.

He did everything from tv, movies & the theatre too. In real life, he also loved the racetrack & poker games just like Oscar. #Klugman
