Klugman remembers Randall in new book
Just heard this great piece from NPR's Morning Edition with a raspy-voiced Jack Klugman talking about his acting relationship with Odd Couple co-star, the late Tony Randall. (One of Klugman's vocal cords was cut during surgery for throat cancer.) His description of their mutual love was endearing, but my favorite bit is towards the end when he talks about the stars with whom he has worked and a poignant moment shared with Ethel Merman. Good stuff for classic film fans.If you're unfamiliar with Klugman, I suggest you check out films like 12 Angry Men and Days of Wine and Roses, in which Klugman has some nice bit parts. His real masterpiece work, however, was on TV in The Odd Couple and Quincy.
Edit: As Marty points out in the comments, the impetus for the interview is Klugman's new book, Tony & Me: A Story of Friendship, an auto-biography of sorts with a bonus DVD included.

Klugman also just wrote a book about his friendship with Randall. It's a very fast, light, enjoyable read. You could finish it in a night. But the best part is the enclosed DVD, which contains about ten minutes of ODD COUPLE bloopers and outtakes showing how much fun--and how politically incorrect--the cast could be.
