TRIVIA:

He graduated from Woodward High School with honors and was named most outstanding student. In addition to writing and acting in two variety shows, Jamie was a member of the Drama Society, class president for three years, feature editor of the school newspaper, president of the radio class, manager of the football and basketball teams and a member of the varsity tennis team.
Farr thought at first the women's wardrobe in his dressing room meant he'd be sharing the room with a woman, but was surprised to learn otherwise. Not wanting to play a cross-dresser in the typical girlish way, he suggested to the producers that his character be manly, but crazy, thinking his clothes and other quirks were normal. The unusual spin worked.
(2005) Is on the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital Professional Advisory Board.
Son, Jonas
Worked as a delivery person for a lithograph company, a post office clerk, an Army-surplus store clerk, an airline reservations clerk, and an employee at a chinchilla ranch
Best remembered by the public for his role as "Corporal (later Sergeant) Max Klinger" in the television series "M*A*S*H" (1971).
Attended the Pasadena Playhouse
In the later years of _"M*A*S*H (1972)"_, especially after he took on the role of company clerk when "Radar" ('Gary Burghoff' (qv)) left, he stopped his recurring gag of wearing women's clothes because he didn't want his children being teased about it growing up.
