Brett Somers (born Audrey Somers July 11, 1924 in New Brunswick, Canada) is a comedienne who was a regular on the 1970s game show Match Game, on which she was known for wearing big glasses and playing foil to Charles Nelson Reilly. She was married to actor Jack Klugman from 1953 until 1974 and, interestingly, she played the role of the divorced wife of Oscar Madison (who was played by Klugman) on the ABC-TV series "The Odd Couple" in the early 1970s.
In 2002, Somers denied rumors that she was battling cancer during a Match Game "reunion" on CBS' The Early Show.
