Obituary
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Allan Arbus, who played the wise — and wisecracking — psychiatrist Dr. Sidney Freedman on TV's "M.A.S.H.," has died at age 95.
Arbus' daughter Arin told the Los Angeles Times Tuesday that her father died of congestive heart failure at his Los Angeles home Friday.
Arbus didn't begin acting until his 40s. He was a television regular who appeared on several series but was best known as Freedman, who counseled shell-shocked army surgeons on a dozen episodes of "M.A.S.H." between 1973 and 1983.
Before turning to Hollywood, the New York-born Arbus had a successful career as a fashion photographer.
After World War II, he started a studio with then-wife Diane Arbus. She would go on to become one of the most renowned art photographers of the 20th century.

Guest Book
My favorite actor. Greaser's Palace was a masterpiece using his wit, dance and singing skills. What an eccentric and wonderful actor. Being married to Diane Arbus was an incredible dedication. She too was fantastic at her art.

Allan Arbus was an outstanding actor. He brought real authenticity to the episodes he guest-starred in on MASH. As an RN, I have always found him to be very believable as a psychiatrist. That he was regularly requested for consultation showed refreshing enlightenment on the part of the writers, considering it was set in the early 50´s. I always enjoy seeing him on MASH; the shows that feature him are my favorites. Very glad he lived a good, long life.

Mr. Arbus's acting in Greaser's Palace was brilliantly comic. I really enjoyed seeing his light hearted quirkiness. He will live on in his legacy of film. Love to the family.

A top flight actor who could perfectly navigate between comedy and deeply emotional drama, Mr. Arbus was a standout even in M*A*S*H, a series already filled with scene stealers.

To the Arbus Family, I just finished watching an episode of MASH, and wanted you to know that even though I never met Allan, I always felt like I knew him. He made a real difference in my life.
