My Take
What strikes me about Edward Albert is that he arrived with the kind of pedigree most actors only dream of, the son of Eddie Albert and Margo, and then went out and earned his own credit. Winning the Golden Globe for New Star of the Year opposite Goldie Hawn in Butterflies Are Free is no small thing for a debut-era performer, and I respect that he didn't simply coast on the family name. I also find it a little poignant that he passed in 2006 at only 55. To me he reads as a talent who proved himself early, then kept working steadily rather than chasing the spotlight.
