Comedy Veteran, Jerry Stiller has died at the age of 92, his
son announced on Monday.
His son, popular actor Ben Stiller, said he died of natural
causes.
"I’m sad to say that my father, Jerry Stiller, passed
away from natural causes. He was a great dad and grandfather, and the
most dedicated husband to Anne for about 62 years. He will be greatly missed.
Love you Dad," his son, Hollywood movie star, Ben Stiller wrote.
Jerry Stiller was a multi-talented performer who appeared in
an assortment of movies.
Jerry had starred in Seinfeld, playing George Costanzas'
father Frank, as well as Arthur Spooner in the comedy series The King Of Queens.
He appeared alongside his famous son in Zoolander and
Zoolander 2, as well as in Heavyweights, Hot Pursuit and The Heartbreak Kid.
He also wrote an autobiography, “Married to Laughter,” about
his 50-plus year marriage to soul mate and comedic cohort Meara, who died in
2015. And his myriad television spots included everything from “Murder She
Wrote” to “Law and Order” — along with 36 appearances alongside Meara on “The
Ed Sullivan Show.”
Earlier in his career, Jerry had partnered with his wife Anne
Meara - Ben's mother - to create the comedy duo Stiller And Meara. Together
they appeared frequently on a string of TV shows, including the popular Ed
Sullivan Show.
The pair were happily married for 62 years before Anne sadly
died in 2015.
