Matthau, Walter [né Matuschanskavashy] (1920–2000), character actor. In the late 1940s and early 1950s, the sour‐faced New Yorker won laughs in a dismaying number of flops. His first major hit came as the once‐successful “playwrote” Michael Freeman in
Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? (1955). Matthau also scored as the sarcastic manager Maxwell Archer in
Once More with Feeling (1958) and the bored aristocrat Benjamin Beaurevers in
A Shot in the Dark (1961). However, his greatest stage success came as the hopeless slob Oscar Madison in
The Odd Couple (1965). In the 1960s, his film career took off and he never returned to the New York stage.
