Eddie Albert

Actor Eddie Albert has died at the age of 99.

Albert's career in show business stretched back to the 1930's when he appeared in a number of Broadway productions. He eventually made the transition to Hollywood and was in over 100 movies, including a co-starring turn in Brother Rat with some guy named Ronald Reagan. Albert also received two academy award nominations, first in 1953 and again in 1972. And in 1974 he played the prison warden in "The Longest Yard," the remake of which just opened this weekend.

But Albert was not only a showman. He served in the south Pacific during World War II and even won the Bronze Star for rescuing a group of marines under fire.

An amazing life. But will he remembered for any of that?

No, of course not. Don't be silly. None of that trivial stuff matters.

The thing that Eddie Albert will be remembered for, however, is wearing a business suit while driving a tractor on Green Acres.

Now that's a legacy!
