Biography
American actor, the son of actor Eddie Albert and Margo. Young Edward made his screen debut at age 14 in "Fool Killer." A philosophy major who attended UCLA and graduated from Oxford University he captured movie-goers' attention in 1972 when he played a tormented blind guitarist in "Butterflies are Free." His performance earned him a Golden Globe award. The following year he made "40 Carats." Moving into the TV soap "Falcon Crest" he played a villainous role until his character was killed off. He was busy throughout his rather short life with over 150 film and TV credits to his name, he is also an exhibited photographer and an ardent environmentalist and supporter of Native American cultures.
