according to the Associated Press.Nussbaum died of natural causes in his Chicago home, just six days shy of his 100th birthday, according to his daughter, Karen. “He was a good father and a good man who raised us to care about other people and respect other people and care about justice,” Karen told the AP. A stage and screen actor and director, Nussbaum received a lifetime achievement award from the League of Chicago Theaters in 2019.
At the time, he was proclaimed to be the oldest working member of Actors’ Equity. Born as Myron Nussbaum in 1923, Nussbaum grew up in Chicago. During World War II, he served as a teletype operator under former President (and then-General) Dwight Eisenhower.
Nussbaum didn’t get into acting until he was in his 40s – before that, he worked in his family’s exterminating business. Nussbaum was a frequent collaborator with Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, David Mamet, 76, and he played the aging salesman George Aaronow, in the original Broadway production of “Glengarry Glen Ross,” in 1984. Other stage credits included Broadway’s “The House of the Blue Leaves,” “Do Black Patent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up?” and Mamet’s play “Relativity,” where Nussbaum played Albert Einstein in 2017.
He also played Shylock in a Chicago Shakespeare Theater production of “The Merchant of Venice” in 2005, and acted in a production of “Hamlet,” when he was 95 years old. “I think that being an actor in Chicago, over a number of years, is the most satisfying life I could imagine,” Nussbaum told the Sun-Times in 2019.He went on to say that he found “the desire for fame and glory” to be “overwhelming” in New York and LA. “Although I had some success in both cities, I decided my life was more balanced here.
