NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Robert Clary, an actor and Holocaust survivor who played Corporal LeBeau on Hogan’s Heroes, has died at the age of 96.
Clary, who was the last surviving member of the principal cast of the World War II-set sitcom, died on Wednesday at his home in Los Angeles, his granddaughter told the Hollywood Reporter.
Hogan’s Heroes aired from September 1965 to April 1971, and followed Bob Crane’s Colonel Robert E. Hogan, an American soldier who led a group of allied prisoners of war in an operation to defeat the Nazis inside the Luft Stalag 13 camp.
Clary was born in Paris into an Orthodox Jewish family and began singing and entertaining at the age of 12.
