Jack Klugman’s son, Adam Klugman, is not happy that Cory Monteith will have a big tribute at the Emmys while his father will not.
Klugman, who died last December at 90 years old, was an actor in The Odd Couple and Quincy, M.E..
His son, Adam, said of Monteith’s “In Memoriam” at this year’s Emmys, “They’re celebrating this self-inflicted tragedy instead of celebrating the life of my father, who won three Emmys… Cory Monteith never won an Emmy,” according to LA Times.
The 2013 Emmys will have an “In Memoriam” presentation honoring television figures who died in the past year, including Monteith, along with Gary David Goldberg, Jonathan Winters, James Gandolfini, and Jean Stapleton. Jack Klugman was excluded from the list, along with Larry Hagman from Dallas.
