Legendary Quincy actor Jack Klugman dies aged 90
LEGENDARY Quincy actor Jack Klugman died yesterday aged 90, it has been announced.
The Emmy-winning actor, a mainstay of TV drama also starred in comedy series The Odd Couple.
Raspy-voiced Klugman, died at his home in Los Angeles following a period of declining health, according to his son, Adam.
"He went very suddenly and peacefully ... he was there one minute and gone the next," he said.
He said his father had lost his ability to walk and spent much of his time in bed.
His wife, Peggy Crosby, former daughter-in-law of the late singer Bing Crosby, was with him when he died.
In addition to his TV success, Klugman enjoyed a healthy career on the stage and in movies and made successful forays into horse breeding and political activism.

Klugman gained fame for playing slovenly sports writer Oscar Madison in the sitcom The Odd Couple - a role he also had played on Broadway - and then as a crusading coroner in the crime drama Quincy, M.E.
