I am sorry, you´re right. I misquote what I read about his father.
This is what I actually read in imdb´s bio for his father: ¨Son Edward Albert was his primary caregiver during his last years battling with Alzheimer's disease. Was healthy and physically active a month before his death at age 99.¨

Thanks for the info. i wasn't aware that his father was a big enviormentalist until maybe 10 years ago. They actually celebrate Earth Day on his birthday he was so much involved.

It is so horrible. I heard he was taking care of his father too before he died. He probably was sick then.

Rest In Peace!

I felt so sad when I read about his passing. I had the great pleasure of talking to him more than once over the phone many years ago. Having never met him in person, when "Butterflies Are Free" was released, I still felt like I was watching a friend. Rest in Peace, Edward. It was fun talking with you.

I was just reading my newspaper and they were writing about people who had died this year and I WAS SHOCKED to see his name among the list. Him dying so soon after his fathers death after being a caretaker for his dad for over 10 yers reminds me so much of Dana Reeves. Sometimes caretakers ignore their own health problems while taking care of their loved ones it is too late for them to take care of themselves. He was so multi talented and this is a terrible tragedy. He will be deeply missed.

I have just got the shock of my life, watching the purple taxi 1977 Edward plays "jerry keane". I checked his website how terrible what a blow to the entertainment, environmental and the whole world.
"I don't really care how I am remembered as long as I bring happiness and joy to people."

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.

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 in Butterflies 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.

I loved him in Butterflies are Free, too. R.I.P.
"Can you count, suckers? I say, the future is ours if you can count!"

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.
R.I.P.

The best thing about Butterflies are Free!!! He will be missed! So unbelievable.

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.

Rest in peace, Edward Albert. You left us much too soon at age 55. I thought you were excellent in "Galaxy of Terror" and "Getting Even."

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.

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.
