How old is Klinger supposed to be?
I have been watching this show since the 1970s, so I definitely can't claim to remember every single detail from every single episode. I've just found out that Jamie Farr (Klinger) turns 90 in 2024, meaning he would have been in his late 30s when the show started, and in his late 40s when the show ended.
I've always understood that Klinger was a very young man drafted off the streets of Toledo, so I usually considered the character to be in (at the most) his mid-20s. Was Farr really portraying a character 15-20 years younger than his actual age, or was the character of Klinger actually supposed to be much older than his mid-20s?
