Best remembered as Felix Unger in the television series The Odd Couple (1970-1975), Tony Randall (1920-2004) was an accomplished radio and stage actor by the late 1940s. He also served in WWII as a member of the United States Army Signal Corps. In the 1950s, he turned towards television to continue his entertainment career, eventually starring in successful comedies like Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter (1957), and Pillow Talk (1959) after a slew of minor television roles. The Odd Couple was the culmination of his television career, leading to The Tony Randall Show (1976) and the Emmy-winning Dear Sydney (1981-1982). He continued acting into the 21st century, with his final role in the film It's About Time (2005). His game show appearances probably could have encompassed a career all on their own: he racked up dozens of appearances on shows like The (New) $25,000 Pyramid (1973-1981), Password All Stars (1963-1972), and What's My Line? (1956-1967). In 1991, Randall founded the National Actors Theatre, a company based in New York City that was active until his death in 2004. Slightly creased and soiled. Otherwise, fine condition.
