| - Walter Matthau (October 1, 1920 – July 1, 2000) was an American actor best known for his role as Oscar Madison in The Odd Couple and his frequent collaborations with co-star Jack Lemmon. He won an Oscar, BAFTA, Golden Globe, and Tony award.
- Matthau died of a heart attack in Santa Monica on July 1, 2000. He was 79 years old. His remains are interred in the Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in Los Angeles. Less than a year later, remains of Jack Lemmon (who died of colon and bladder cancer) were buried at the same cemetery. After Matthau's death, Lemmon as well as other friends and relatives had appeared on Larry King Live in an hour of tribute and remembrance; many of those same people appeared on the show one year later, reminiscing about Lemmon. Carol Marcus, also a native of New York, died of a brain aneurysm in 2003. Her remains are buried next to Matthau's. The remains of actor George C. Scott are also buried next to those of Walter Matthau, in an unmarked grave.
- Walter Matthau (1920-2000) was an American comic actor perhaps best known for his many cinematic team-ups with Jack Lemmon, including The Fortune Cookie (which netted him an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor), The Odd Couple, and Grumpy Old Men. An Oscar nominee for his role in The Sunshine Boys with George Burns, this teaming was referenced in The Muppet Show episode 210. When George tells Gonzo "you remind me of somebody I used to work with" (meaning Gracie Allen), Gonzo assumes he means Walter Matthau.
