"The Owl and the Pussycat" (1970), starring Segal and Barbra Streisand, was particularly popular; and though Segal played against type as a dangerous computer scientist in "The Terminal Man" (1974), he used his popular appeal as a card shark in "The Duchess and the Dirtwater Fox" (1976), as a suburbanite-turned-bank robber in "Fun with Dick and Jane" (1977), as an heroic ride inspector in "Rollercoaster" (1977), and as a faux gourmet in "Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe?"
