I have been doing some research about Eddie Albert. Here is a good link for those who might be interested in how famous he was. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Albert
It is mentioned that he was in an episode of Highway to Heaven. My question is: Which episode was it??? ...and were he and Michael Landon and/or Victor French friends, in real life?
Eddie Albert was a very talented actor. He was a co-founder of Earth Day which he helped launch in 1970. The date of Earth Day was designated on April 22 partly because of the fact that it was his birthday.

Eddie Albert was a well-known actor. His son, Edward Albert, Jr, dabbled into acting back in the 1970's. Remember what Charlton Heston told him in "Midway" ( 1976 )? I saw Albert, Jr in a TV special a few years back.
Michael Landon and Victor French were like brothers. They spent more time together than a married couple. They met in 1967 while working "Bonanza". Mike said Vic was one of the finest actors he ever worked with.
