For 50 Years, Acting Was The Reason

Walter Matthau Made All The Big Money And He Was Wonderful As Oscar Madison On The Stage. You Couldn't Beat Him. I Know Because I Replaced Him On Broadway. He Was Just Delightful.

Acting Became My Best Friend. When I Auditioned To Get Into College, The Teacher Said You Belong Here, Mr. Klugman, And To Hear That Word Belong - I Never Belonged Anywhere Before - And Suddenly I Belonged In Acting And It Was So Comfortable And I Loved It.

Some Days When I Start To Talk, My Voice Isnt Strong. But Then It Warms Up.

I Was At The Pinnacle Of My Career One Day And The Next Day I Was Put Out To Pasture. I Felt Like A Race Horse With A Broken Leg.

We Treat Old People So Badly. There Is Nothing Easy About 80.
