‘Seinfeld’ star Jerry Stiller dies at 92

NEW YORK: Jerry Stiller, who for decades teamed with wife Anne Meara in a beloved comedy duo and then reached new heights in his senior years as Frank Costanza on the sitcom “Seinfeld”, died at 92, his son Ben Stiller announced on Monday. “I’m sad to say that my father, Jerry Stiller, passed away from natural causes.”


Stiller created some of the Emmy-winning show’s most enduring moments: co-creator and model for the “bro”, a brassiere for men; a Korean War cook who inflicted food poisoning on his entire unit; an ever-simmering salesman controlling his explosive temper with the shouted mantra, “Serenity now!” Stiller earned a 1997 Emmy nomination for his indelible “Seinfeld” performance.
