JAMIE FARR | 85

American actor Jamie Farr earned his prominence in the hit CBS television series M*A*S*H* where he played the cross-dressing corporal Maxwell Q. Klinger. It helped him climb up the ladder of success and become the legendary actor that he is today. Aside from being a serious actor, Jamie is also a comedian, film and theater actor. He also contributed to the LPGA and hosted the Jamie Farr Toledo Classic Golf Tournament for three decades.

He began acting when he was still in elementary school and won a local talent contest in the fifth grade. A talent scout from MGM saw him on stage while in the Pasadena Playhouse and gave him an opportunity for a screen test. Farr¡¯s first professional role in the film was in the Blackboard Jungle in 1995, and as a fruit vendor in Kismet. With his $6-million net worth, Jamie is probably enjoying his retirement, living in the comfort of his own home with its good flooring. Of course, with his wife of over 50 years, Joy-Ann Richards, by his side.
