That's him- a big actor with many roles, usually remembered for "King Tut" on Batman or stealing scenes in "the Odd Couple" as Hugo Lovelace the landlord or Dr Clove the exorcist.
In the Odd Couple, "The Exorcists", Felix is convinced they have a ghost in their air conditioner- the ghost of Irving Cohen, who died in the apartment and was its occupant directly before Oscar. They went to the office of Dr Clove to consult with him. Dr Clove had an interesting discussion with them, and said he could come that evening, but would have to charge them for a house-call. He would arrive just before midnight. If he ascertained the presence of a spirit, he would proceed to the exorcism. Felix should have prepared for him bayleaf, cloves of garlic, incense and half a chicken (usually around midnight he gets a little hungry, and we knew he was attending Weight Watchers meetings.) When he arrived, Feiix was wearing a black robe and a lei of garlic buibs, and was flinging flower petals around. When the doorbell rang, Oscar answered it. Dr Clove arrived. *to Oscar* "Good evening. Where is the chicken?" Dr Clove saw Felix and burst out laughing. Oscar: "*laughing* That's authetic!" "Pardon me Mister Ungar. How a man dresses in his home is his business. I am merely laughing because you look funny." "I wore this for the exorcism!" "Mister Ungar, that outfit is worn in cases of Demonic Possession and once in a while for Trick or Treat, but it doesn't work here."
Only those listening CLOSELY can make out the question when Dr Clove walks in. I heard it by chance one night and lost it completely.

He was looking for it to use as a clue in a game round a few weeks after he was looking for it. Meanwhile, I hope he posts the next one soon.

Well ... yeah. I was about 15 when it came out. (Saw it a couple of years later, when I was in college.) Fonda DID win the Best Actress Oscar for the performance. George

I'll let Raf explain that cryptic comment at his leisure. In the meantime, name the actor:
Sir Walter Raleigh Geoffrey Radcliffe Clifford Pyncheon
Joseph Smith King Charles II Vital Dutour

It was one of his lines in his Odd Couple role.
