George Segal, the Oscar-nominated actor who sparred with Richard Burton in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf, romanced Glenda Jackson in A Touch of Class and won laughs in the TV sitcom The Goldbergs, died at the age of 87. “The family is devastated to announce that this morning George Segal passed away due to complications from bypass surgery,” his wife Sonia Segal said in a statement. Charming and witty, Segal excelled in dramatic and comedic roles, most recently playing laid-back widower Albert Pops’ Solomon on the comedy series The Goldbergs.
