Allan Franklin Arbus

I enjoyed Allan as Dr. Sidney Freedman on MASH.

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.

Thank you for sharing a part of your life with us.

Rest Allan, until you hear at dawn,
the low, clear reveille of God.

Thank you for your service to this nation.

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.
