Actor and comedian Jerry Stiller has died of natural causes, Ben Stiller says
https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/11/us/jerry-stiller-death-natural-causes/index.html
Perhaps by most, Jerry Stiller was known for his role as Frank Costanza in the show "Seinfeld" and about a decade later, as Arthur Spooner in the sitcom, "The King of Queens."
Stiller had lost his wife, Anne Meara, in 2015. The two met in a New York casting call in 1953 and a few short years later became the timeless "Stiller & Meara" comedy team -- making their name in the 1960s with frequent performances on variety shows, including the "The Ed Sullivan Show."
Back teaming with Anne Meara again. RIP
