The Duffless Foundation is sad to announce that another favorite has passed away. Only a few months after Charles Nelson Reilley left us, he was joined by his partner in crime...Brett Somers.
Somers as many of you will know was married to Jack Klugman of Quincy and Odd Couple fame...It was Klugman who suggested that The Match Game use his wife as a regular panellist, and a legend was born. Brett, who's wigs and big glasses became a staple of the game show era, was a constant on the Match Game for many, many years.
The big Three of the match game were definitely Brett, Charles and Richard Dawson (often called Dickie by Brett)...and now two of them are gone. They say things happen in threes, and I just hope that Richard is in a clean state of health, although knowing his reputation, he probably has picked up any of a number of sexual diseases with his playboy lifestyle.
Somers was born in New Brunswick Canada, before moving to New York to be an actress...She was involved in many Broadway productions, but is probably most famous for being the wife of Jack Klugman, she had three children, two with Klugman, and one from a previous marriage.
She will be missed, by friends, family and The Duffless Foundation.
