Edward Albert Heimberger (April 22, 1906 – May 26, 2005), known professionally as Eddie Albert, was an American actor and activist. He was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in 1954 for his performance in Roman Holiday, and in 1973 for The Heartbreak Kid.
Other well-known screen roles of his include Bing Edwards in the Brother Rat films, traveling salesman Ali Hakim in the musical Oklahoma!, and the sadistic prison warden in 1974's The Longest Yard. He starred as Oliver Wendell Douglas in the 1960s television situation comedy Green Acres and as Frank MacBride in the 1970s crime drama Switch. He also had a recurring role as Carlton Travis on Falcon Crest, opposite Jane Wyman.
Edward Albert Heimberger was born in Rock Island, Illinois, on April 22, 1906, the oldest of the five children of Frank Daniel Heimberger, a realtor, and his wife Julia Jones. His year of birth is often given as 1908, but this is incorrect. His parents were not married when Albert was born, and his mother altered his birth certificate after her marriage.

Eddie Albert sings "September Song" (from the 1956 album "Eddie Albert and Margo," aka "September Song"); with pictures from his 50-year stage & screen career. This is the only version of the song I've ever heard with that third-person introduction ("There was once an old man..."). Perhaps Eddie felt that as a very young-looking 50 (48, on his resume), he couldn't credibly sing the piece in his own persona. And the old-man story does essentially describe the song's original context in the play "Knickerbocker Holiday."
In this clip from 1970, actor Eddie Albert is joined by Eva Gabor to talk about their TV sitcom Green Acres. Albert was also an environmental activist and participated in the creation of Earth Day, speaking at the inaugural ceremony in 1970. Albert was also in the films Oklahoma and The Longest Yard.

In 1945, an American Infantry company sets up an artillery observation post but tensions between captain Cooney and lieutenant Costa run high. I do not own the rights to this film. All copyrights belong to the original publisher and associated parties.
Eddie Albert sings Bob Dylan's "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right" (from 1966's "The Eddie Albert Album"); with pictures from his 50-year stage & screen career. (20 March 09: Now with annotations!)
Eddie Albert (Green Acres) and Robert Wagner (Hart To Hart) star as unlikely partners in a private investigation agency. Each episode features the pair creating an elaborate con job to catch the bad guys. This pilot movie originally aired on March 21, 1975 and launched the successful TV series. If there is sufficient interest, I have nearly all of this series and can post it. Comments welcome. The quality is best available (not so great, but off a VHS from the early days of satellite TV).
Here is the opening and a scene from the 1990 TV movie "Return To Green Acres" Starring Eddie Albert and Eva Gabor. See what happens when the Douglas clan decides to move back to the big city. But Mr. Haney has plans to redevelop Hotterville and boot out all the towns residence.

Reupload of a previously uploaded film, in one piece instead of multiple parts. Public domain film slightly cropped to remove uneven edges, with the aspect ratio corrected, and mild video noise reduction applied. The soundtrack was also processed with volume normalization, noise reduction, clipping reduction, and equalization (the resulting sound, though not perfect, is far less noisy than the original). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ http://en.wikipedia.org...
Eddie Albert and Sondra Lee - Little Child
Eddie Albert sings "Without a Song" (from his 1958 album "High Upon a Mountain"); with pictures from his 50-year stage & screen career. (12 March 09: Now with annotations!) "Without a Song": music by Vincent Youmans ("Tea for Two"), lyrics by Billy Rose & Edward Eliscu. From the short-lived 1929 show "Great Day" (which also launched its title song and the standard "More Than You Know"). The original lyric's a tad, umm, dated-- there's a Bing Crosby recording of it on YouTube, if you're curious-- but most perform it in the version heard here. In fact, this song is all over YouTube (Sinatra, Jan Peerce, Sammy Davis, The Carpenters, Stevie Wonder, and more). I suspect Mahalia Jackson "gets it" best, but Eddie's rendition--in my book a close second--has considerable charm.
Eddie Albert, belonging to the Kuku-Yalanji, Yidinji and Girramay language groups of Far North Queensland, served in the Australian Army during World War II. It was a time when Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander veterans did not have equal access to the soldier-settler grants, amongst other exclusions and inequities. His daughter Trish Albert, his grandson Tony Albert, and his fellow serviceman Gordon Wallace speak about his extraordinary contribution to the defence force.
Eddie Albert & Sondra Lee sing "Little Child" (their charting single from 1956); with pictures from EA's 50-year stage & screen career. Excuse the three repetitions of the introductory bars; I needed something to underscore all that text at the beginning.

I was a big fan of the 1965 -- 1971 comedy series "Green Acres" -- and I'm old enough to have watched in when it ran for the first time. Yikes. Of course it's been around in reruns for years, but what hasn't been available until today is my 1992 interview with series star Eddie Albert. He talks about his career, the series, his role and his unforgettable co-star, Eva Gabor. Check out the preview and then watch the complete segment just added and now playing on demand at RerunIt.com.
A video tribute to actor Edward Albert, the only son to actor Eddie Albert. Edward passed away on September 22, 2006 from lung cancer at the age of 55. Edward's comments in the video is from a interview I conducted with him in July of 1994 at the Stardust Hotel in Las Vegas.
