LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Two-time Oscar nominee Eddie Albert, best known for his starring TV role as a big-city attorney turned farmer on the popular CBS comedy series "Green Acres," has died at age 99, a spokesman said on Friday.
Albert, a lifelong fitness enthusiast who was still doing push-ups and shooting baskets in his driveway until last month, died at his home on Thursday night of complications from pneumonia, which he contracted after a bout with the flu, publicist Dick Guttman said.
Link. It is amazing that he was 99 and still shooting baskets! Wow And one of the other things I liked about the article was his quote from his journal:
"By the time I leave this Earth, I should have improved our relationships here and now, so that in the next generation sons, daughter and friends have my shoulders on which to stand, so it's easier to make their contribution."
