Allan Arbus Career

Photography career

Arbus, a photographer in the 1940s, became a photographer for the United States Army. Diane Arbus (née Nemerov, a photographer who had married in 1941), and his first wife, photographer Diane Arbus (née Nemerov), established a photographic agency in Manhattan in 1946 after completing his military service. Arbus was best known for advertising photography that appeared in Glamour, Seventeen, Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, and other publications, as well as the weekly newspaper advertisement photos for Russeks, a Fifth Avenue department store owned by Diane's father.

A photograph credited to Edward Steichen's notable photo exhibition The Family of Man includes a photograph credited to the couple. The Arbuses' professional association began in 1956, when Diane retired; the couple officially ended three years later. Allan Arbus continued working as a solo photographer, but by the time the couple divorced in 1969, she had left the field to pursue an acting career.

Acting career

Arbus moved to California in 1969 to begin a new career in acting following the breakup of his first marriage and the dissolution of his company. His new work began after he was accepted in Robert Downey Sr.'s 1972 cult film Greaser's Palace, in which he appears alongside Robert Downey, Jr., who would go on to play Diane Arbus's muse in Fur. The 2006 Fur is a fictional account of the Arbuses' marriage. Arbus appeared in Scream, Pretty Peggy (1973), and was also featured as Gregory LaCava in W.C. Fields and Me (1976).

Maj. Sidney Freedman on M*A*S*H aided him in his debut as a character actor, and he appeared in more than seventy television shows and films. He appeared in Cinderella Liberty briefly as a alcoholic sailor; another 1973 film, Coffy, starring Pam Grier, featured Arbus as a drug dealer with bizarre sexual needs; in Damien: Omen II (1978), he played Pasarian, one of Damien's many victims in The Omen trilogy. In 1979, he portrayed a dance choreographer in The Electric Horseman.

Arbus's television career, which includes more than forty-five titles, is much better known for his television work, with works such as Curb Your Enthusiasm in 2000. In addition to Arbus' non-M*S*H programs on television, such television series as Law & Order, In the Heat of the Night, L.A.
