So sorry to hear that. Amazon Prime recently served up How To Succeed. Magnificent. His every move was worth watching and thank heaven his outstanding performance was recorded for the ages.

I also loved him in the film the Loved One. I saw it when I was 12, haven’t seen it since but it’s stuck with me all these years. As the advertisement said, it had something to offend everyone!

He’s like Jerry Lewis’s cuter brother.

Me, too. Saw it again about a year ago and I’ll do it again tonight. He was great in that role. A lighthearted romp from a much simpler time

Here he is in “The Loved One”, playing “straight” man to Liberace, as a coffin salesman:

“I can give you our eternal flame in either perpetual eternal or standard eternal”

A comedic actor with a gap toothed grin à la Alfred E. Neuman or Terry Thomas.   Rest in Piece, you did a great job.
