Eddie Albert Passes Away

[filkertom]

Another one of the good ones is gone. Eddie Albert, one of the great character actors of the 20th century, has died at the age of 99. Best known for playing Oliver Wendell Douglas, the lawyer on Green Acres, and the warden in the original version of The Longest Yard, Albert's career spanned six decades, and the man was pretty much good at everything.

Here's the story at CNN.com, and here's his listing at IMDB.

And, I'm guessing you know, Thurl Ravenscroft.

The greatest tragedy of my life has been that I'm not a basso profundo.

Not to be disrespectful, but I was very saddened to hear that Eddie Albert once again bought the farm.
