JAMIE FARR

Jamie Farr stole the limelight for playing a cross-dressing corporal Maxwell Q. Klinger in the hit sitcom, M*A*S*H. Farr began acting at the age of 11 by winning in a local contest. He was then discovered by a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer talent scout and was offered a role in the 1955 film, Blackboard Jungle. Farr also worked as a panelist in several game shows including The Gong Show, Match Game-Hollywood Squares Hour, The Magnificent Marble Machine, and Tattletales.

Jamie hosted the $250,000 Game Show Spectacular until 2008. He is also a writer. A children’s book to his credit is entitled Hababy’s, Christmas Eve. In the year 2019, Farr had a Youtube special (a documentary of a sort) that allowed him to look back on his sitcom days. He is gray and somewhat different than he was on the show but at the same time, Jamie is still very much the same – dashing, handsome, charming, and passionate.
