Walter Matthau Trivia
|
- Once claimed that his wife's name was Carol Wellington-Smythe Marcus, just to give it a more "aristocratic" sound.
- Step-father of Lucy Saroyan
- Very tall as young man, Matthau had a very slouchy posture by the time he was an actor. This was in part due to injuries attained in combat in WWII, but he probably exaggerated it because the slouch fitted his miserly characters.
- 'Dan Castelleneta' has said that his original voice for Homer Simpson was simply an impression of Matthau.
- Studied in the dramatic workshop at New York's New School with Gene Saks, Rod Steiger, Harry Guardino and Tony Curtis.
