Eddie Albert, 1906-2005

May 28, 2005

Eddie Albert, the versatile stage, screen and television actor who starred as the Park Avenue lawyer who sought happiness down on the farm in the popular 1960s sitcom "Green Acres," has died. He was 99...

...In 1939, while sailing off the coast of Baja California, he heard rumors of secret submarine fueling stations, and when he returned home he reported to Army intelligence that Japanese "fishermen" were making hydrographic surveys of the coast.

My favorite Eddie Albert role was the Persian salesman in Oklahoma.What a crack up. I never get tired of watching him in that. ... and he didn't look anything like a Persian ... and his accent was ridiculous. I think that's what made it funny.

"This is how we say good-bye in Paris"... "This is how we say hello in Oklahoma"

Green Acres was a dud, however.
