I only knew him from Falcon Crest where he played a bad guy. He was so good in that role. I'll have to check out some of his movies. His dad also guest-starred on the show. At least now they are together. God bless them both.

RIP Edward. May your friends and family know you are watching over them know. Your their angel now. You will be in peace now. I loved you on Port Charles as Bennett Devlin. I hope you know you will be missed.

Yes that's the El Portal Theatre in NoHo; I was just there the other night and couldn't help but think of Edward. How nice that you got to meet him. What a shock and yes, I wonder if he was a smoker or not. Way before his time and what a grand gent. he was. And so handsome. Years ago my mother was watching Merv Griffin and Edward was a guest. My mother said, "oh look he's your age and he's so cute". I didn't pay much attention at the time but later did. I also read that he helped the victims of the Santa Monica farmers market car crash in '03. Wow. He deserves a special place in Heaven. I live in L.A. and I have not seen either The Hollywood Reporter or Variety post his obituary yet and I intend to fax them both on Monday. RIP.

To georgygirl7:
The answer to whether he Edward Albert was a smoker is in the thread smoker?
He smoked when he was young and then quit. But someone who worked with him in a film (Stage Ghost) in 2000 says he was smoking then too. -

Was very sorry to hear this news, a fine actor who gave so much of the last years of his life taking care of his father Ed sr. who just passed last year, they will both be missed greatly.

I loved the movie Butterflies are Free! His handicapped character was great, that he was trying to live independently of his mom's Ruling Arm.
Mr. Albert was as talented as his late Father, Eddie. I pray God blesses the Family at their time of Grief.

I remember him for two things:
The amazing performance he gave in "The Fool Killer."
and
the way he felt about his dad.
I was touched by his quote, when he was only 21:
"If I wasn't Eddie Albert's son, I'd be someone else's. It gave me a chance to do a lot of traveling, but mostly I'm glad I'm his son because he's such a good man."
and when Eddie Albert died last year, I saw the following on an internet news account of his death, and it impacted me so much that I saved it on my computer:
"Edward Albert, 54, who became a prominent actor inButterflies Are Free,'40 Carats' and other films, said he put his career on hold for the past eight years to aid his father, who suffered from Alzheimer's disease.
On Friday, he remembered a moment several years ago in which the two sat in a garden together.
`I said to him "You're my hero." I saw him struggling to put together the words, and he looked at me and said: "You're your hero's hero." I'll take that to my grave.'"
What a world this would be if more people were like Eddie Albert and his son. -

That's a very nice sentiment, "how much better off we'd be if more were like Eddie and Edward Albert."
I also remember Edward through his 1970's work in television, guest starring on series' episodes, and starring in
"Killer Bees" (1974), a "Movie of the Week," with Gloria Swanson and Kate Jackson.
Edward was a very nice looking and very caring and considerate, soft-spoken, kind-hearted gentleman, whom we shall all dearly miss. Family, Friends and Fans, you have my smpathy.
