Robert Clary

Robert Clary's story moves me more than almost any sitcom credit could. He brought decades of warmth to Hogan's Heroes and the soaps, yet what defines him for me is that he was a Holocaust survivor who chose a life of comedy and song. Carrying that weight while delivering laughter takes a strength I find genuinely humbling. He sang, he wrote nonfiction, he kept telling stories until he passed at 96. I see him as proof that someone who has known true darkness can offer the brightest kind of light, and I hold his memory in high regard.
