She's with Gene Rayburn, CNR, MacLean Stevenson and Nipsey Russell on that big, shag-carpeted set in the sky.

Up until the time I saw this thread I would have bet everything I owned on the fact that she was already dead.

And so the "Odd Couple" curse claims yet another victim. Jack Klugman and Al Molinaro had better watch their steps.

RIP Blanche.

I thought you were a dude.

First Charles.... Now Brett!!

WESTPORT, Connecticut (AP) -- Actress and comedian Brett Somers, who amused game show fans with her quips on the "Match Game" in the 1970s, has died, her son said. She was 83.

Somers died Saturday at her home in Westport of stomach and colon cancer, Adam Klugman said Monday.

Hosted by Gene Rayburn, "Match Game" was the top game show during much of the 1970s. Contestants would try to match answers to nonsense questions with a panel of celebrities; much of the humor came from the racy quips and putdowns.

Shows from the 1973-79 run, featuring regulars like Somers, Richard Dawson and Charles Nelson Reilly, are still seen on cable TV's GSN (formerly Game Show Network).

Somers married actor Jack Klugman, the future star of the television shows "Quincy" and "The Odd Couple," in 1953. The two separated in 1974, but never divorced.

They made many television appearances as a couple. Somers appeared on several episodes of "The Odd Couple," playing the ex-wife of Klugman's character.

In the summer of 2003, she appeared in a one-woman cabaret show, "An Evening with Brett Somers," which she wrote and co-produced. She continued to perform after being diagnosed with cancer.

She was born Audrey Johnston in New Brunswick, Canada, and grew up in Portland, Maine. She ran away from home at age 17 and headed for New York City, where she settled in Greenwich Village. She changed her first name to Brett after the lead female character in the Ernest Hemingway novel "The Sun Also Rises." Somers was her mother's maiden name.

Her son said she was caustic, irreverent and a self-declared bohemian.

"She maintained her independence till the end, and her irreverence," Adam Klugman said. "She died very much at peace."

In addition to Adam Klugman, Somers is survived by another son, David, and a daughter, Leslie. E-mail to a friend E-mail to a friend

I really seriously try to learn something everyday and thanks to this post I have learned that Miss Sommers was married to Jack Klugman.

What would be the reason to separate from but never divorce someone?

Must have been the great sex. After all, her son did say she was a self-declared bohemian. Which probably meant she was wild in bed.

Who'd have thought Jack Klugman would outlive them all!!!


Except for maybe Janis Hansen. http://www.oddcouple.info/pictures/gloria.jpg



Blanche Madison http://www.oddcouple.info/pictures/blanche.jpg


Blanche is Oscar's ex-wife, who lives in California, and only makes a few appearances on the show. Oscar is always hoping that Blanche will get married so that he will stop having to make alimony payments, which he is forever behind in. (Once, Blanche sent him a singing telegram threatening to get him sent to jail if he didn't pay up.) Unlike Felix and Gloria, these two clearly have no desire to get back together. Depending on which episode you're watching, Blanche's maiden name is either Somers or Jefferson.

Thats where I remember her from.

Who the hell would have figured that Jack would outlive her?

EDIT-Sonavabitch. HT beat me too it.

[rexdart]

wow stomach and colon cancer. I watched my dad die from stomach cancer in 83. I hope she was amongst friends and good pain killers.

Think her tombstone had a blank that can now be filled in?

I wonder if she enjoyed a good _{blank}_.
a: Public Fisting.
b: Deep dicking.

d: Buckets of man butter poured onto her naked body.
