Just caught an online report that actor Tony Randall has passed away. Two different articles list his age as either 83 or 84 yrs. I had read that Mr. Randall underwent some surgery last year, but there is no cause of death listed in either article.

Most of us know Randall from the brilliant job he did on the TV show THE ODD COUPLE as Felix(playing opposite Jack Klugman as Oscar). The show was based on the Neil Simon play, which was also adapted as a wonderful film with Jack Lemon and Walter Matheau in the starring roles.

Randall often came off as rather pompous, but he seemed to have a good sense of humor when he appeared frequently on the David Letterman show.

Rest in peace, Mr. Randall.
