He was similarly over-the-top, as a mixed bag of goons, bartenders, cops, cabbies, and bookies in films like \u003ci\u003eThe Seven Year Itch\u003c\/i\u003e (1955), \u003ci\u003eThe Man with the Golden Arm\u003c\/i\u003e (1955), the war flick \u003ci\u003eAttack!\u003c\/i\u003e (1956), \u003ci\u003eL'il Abner\u003c\/i\u003e (1959), Elvis Presley's \u003ci\u003eGirls! GIrls! Girls!\u003c\/i\u003e (1962), and \u003ci\u003eThe Family Jewels\u003c\/i\u003e (1965). Throughout the 1960s, he popped up in similar roles on classic western programs and sitcoms like \"Bonanza\" (1962), \"Wagon Train\" (1959-1962), \"The Dick Van Dyke Show\" (1964), \"The Munsters\" (1964), \"Green Acres\" (1966), \"Bewitched\" (1966), \"The Beverly Hillbillies\" (1967), \"The Monkees\" (1967), and \"The Jackie Gleason Show\" (1966-1967). After years of eluding autograph hounds, Strauss died of a stroke at the age of 61 and his signature is highly uncommon in any format.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":null,"offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68100451336381,"sku":"znu1793406982662","price":132.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0772\/8172\/2557\/files\/cat-004071-robert-strauss_1.jpg?v=1793406991","url":"https:\/\/crossbackv.shop\/products\/cat-004071-robert-strauss","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
