More on Edward Albert
Description from Wikipedia:
Edward Albert (February 20 1951 - September 22 2006) was an American film and television actor. He was also known as Edward Laurence Albert and occasionally Eddie Albert Jr.
He was born Edward Laurence Heimberger in Los Angeles, California, the son of actor Eddie Albert and Mexican actress Margo.
Edward is probably most famous for his work in the 1972 film Butterflies Are Free in which he played Don Baker, a blind man who is a talented guitarist and singer-songwriter. His performance won him the Golden Globe Award for New Star Of The Year - Actor. The following year he starred opposite Liv Ullman in the film adaptation of the play 40 Carats. Children may remember him as Mr. Collins, father to Wesley Collins, the Red Ranger from Power Rangers: Time Force.
He appeared as a U.S. Navy fighter pilot in the epic film Midway. In the film Guarding Tess (1994), he played the son of kidnapped former First Lady Tess Carlisle (Shirley Maclaine), also starring Nicolas Cage. He also appeared in numerous films, television shows and soap operas, often playing a debonair gentleman with villainous tendencies.
He married Katherine Woodville in 1978, and they had one daughter, Thais (who is a singer/songwriter of the rock band Sugar in Wartime).
He put his acting career aside for eight years to care for his father in his last years. He died of lung cancer in his home on September 22 2006 at the age of 55, only one year after his father's death. His wife said he had suffered from lung cancer for 17 months. Despite his illness he had tended to his ailing father, who died at the age of 99 in 2005.
He had an adopted sister, Maria, who was not in show business.
