Beloved comedian Red Buttons has died following a vascular disease. He was 87. The red-headed funnyman, who won a 1957 Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role in Sayonara, died at his home, surrounded by family members, yesterday.

After making his name as a vaudeville comedian, Buttons became a TV regular after he served in World War Two, eventually landing his own show, "The Red Buttons Show" in 1952. Three seasons after the show debuted, flagging ratings prompted Buttons to turn his attention to the movies and his Oscar-winning performance helped earn him movie acclaim.
