Arbus was born in New York City on Feb. 15, 1918. He was an Army photographer in the 1940s and along with his wife, the famed photographer Diane?Arbus (n?e Nemerov), started a photographic business in New York in 1946.
The business broke apart 10 years later as Diane Arbus pursued her own photography. The couple divorced in 1969 and she committed suicide in 1971.
Arbus appeared in just a dozen episodes of "M*A*S*H," but endeared himself to fans with the ability of his character (Dr. Freedman) to match wits with Capt. Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda). Check out this great collection of some of Arbus' best lines on the show:
