Re: Re: Re: 'GREEN ACRES' STAR EDDIE ALBERT DIES AT 99

"Dead Weight" was one of the best episodes of the "Columbo" series. Truly sad news to hear of Eddie Albert's passing. Now only villains Robert Culp and Susan Clark remain from Season 1.

Eddie Albert-War Hero-RIP

He truly was a great American and a real gentleman. Too bad we don't have actors today of his character and caliber.

Re: 'GREEN ACRES' STAR EDDIE ALBERT DIES AT 99

Mrs. Peck...I remember way back when you spoke about his military career and what a hero he truly was. It is quite an inspiring story.

Re: 'GREEN ACRES' STAR EDDIE ALBERT DIES AT 99

Ditto! Just watched that episode in his memory. R.I.P. Eddie

Re: Re: 'GREEN ACRES' STAR EDDIE ALBERT DIES AT 99

I watched "Dead Weight" in Eddie Albert's memory last night and noticed something I had not noticed before. In the scene where Columbo first appears, he never closes his car door, does he?

Re: 'GREEN ACRES' STAR EDDIE ALBERT DIES AT 99

Loved his character in "Roman Holiday". Actually inspired me to grow a beard like him for a while.
Thanks for the memories Eddie.

Re: 'GREEN ACRES' STAR EDDIE ALBERT DIES AT 99

LeeeeeeeeeSaaaaaaaaa! Did he ever win an emmy for "Green Acres"? Was he ever even nominated? He certainly should have been - and should have won. What an incredible slow burn and then BLAST! He really pulled off the May/December romance with Suzanne Pleshette in "Dead Weight" as well. A terrific actor!

Re: Re: 'GREEN ACRES' STAR EDDIE ALBERT DIES AT 99

I just finished watching ,"Dead Weight", which is one of my favorites. I watched it in memory of Eddie Albert. I enjoyed seeing it again and at the same time it brought a tear to my eye.
R.I.P. Eddie.

Lets not forget he was the nasty Warden in the orginal "The Longest Yard"
