Actor
Walter Matthau
Made ten films with Jack Lemmon and perfected a kind of exhausted contempt that made everything funnier. He flew combat missions as a radio operator in the war.
Walter John Matthau was an American actor, known for his "hangdog face" and for playing world-weary characters. He starred in 10 films alongside his real-life friend Jack Lemmon, including The Odd Couple (1968) and Grumpy Old Men (1993). The New York Times called this "one of Hollywood's most successful pairings". Among other accolades, Matthau won an Academy Award, one BAFTA Award, and two Tony Awards.
