RIP Allan Arbus, Dr. Sidney Freedman M*A*S*H
Amazing that he was 95.
IMHO, the best show of all time.
Set the stage for other shows on war and hospitals.

Actor Allan Arbus, best known for his role as Dr. Sidney Freedman on M*A*S*H and, in real life, as the ex-husband of fashion photographer turned activist Diane Arbus, has died in his Los Angeles home. He was 95.

How weird, on the local station yesterday the two episodes they ran for MASH both had Dr Freedman in it.....I wonder if the station knew he wasn't well.....

I always loved his character, especially the final episode....

Amazing that he was 95.

Yep. I never thought of him as that much older than Hawkeye and the gang, but in reality he was just three years younger than Harry Morgan.

DH & I were discussing this last night - we were both shocked by his ages. Good genes!!

Wow, I had NO idea he was that old, but then again I vaguely remember seeing him in some 1950s movie and he looked pretty much exactly as he did on MASH. RIP.
