For me, he will always be the everyday hero

in 'Escape to Witch Mountain', who helped a couple of strange children find their home. For most, he was immortalised in 'Green Acres'. Eddie Albert died on May 27 at the age of 99. Sadly, he suffered from Alzheimer's.

He was environmentally conscious and an active supporter of several causes. He was a widower who lost his wife after forty years of marriage, unusual in Hollywood. But then, one of his strengths was his down-to-earth demeanour, and for that, I will miss him.
