Sandy Baron (May 5, 1937—January 21, 2001) was an American comedian who acted on stage, in films, and on television. He was born Sanford Beresofsky in Brooklyn, New York. He cut his teeth working in the Catskill Mountains resorts. The Catskills were, and still are, synonymous with the "Borscht Belt" brand of Jewish humor on which Baron made his mark. He then moved on to the Compass Players Improv Comedy group in the late 1950's.
He made his Broadway debut in Tchin-Tchin in 1962. He also appeared in many other Broadway plays, hits as well as flops, including Generations and Lenny (Los Angeles production); he later replaced Cliff Gorman in the lead role of Lenny Bruce in Lenny on Broadway.
He appeared in countless television programs, including a notable role in Seinfeld as Jack Klompus. He also starred in Law & Order and as Grandpa in a 1996 TV-movie revival of The Munsters. He also starred in the short-lived television sitcom, "Hey Landlord!" (1967).

Originally, playwright Neil Simon planned his tale of a suburban Ohio couple's misadventures in New York City to be one of a quartet of vignettes in his Broadway play Plaza Suite. However, he quickly realized the comic possibilities were numerous enough to warrant a full-length treatment, and the action was more suitable for the screen than the stage. During filming in the spring of 1969, Hiller took full advantage of Manhattan, including Grand Central Station, Central Park, and the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in his location shooting, and substituting MacArthur Airport in Islip, New York for the Ohio terminal.
The plot revolves around Gwen and George Kellerman, whose company has offered him a job promotion in the Big Apple. From the moment they depart their home town, the couple suffers nearly every indignity out-of-towners possibly could experience. Heavy fog forces their...
