Brett Somers of 'Match Game' fame dies
WESTPORT, Conn. (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.
