Great job, Jerry. My father was one of those US Marines in the Pacific Island campaign during WWII, and Eddie Albert has, consequently, held a special place in my heart. He was a gifted actor and a remarkable human being.
Having served in the Marine Corps , and having three tours in Vietnam, I will always remember Eddie as a war hero and then an actor, for his actions at Tarawa he should have gotten the Medal of Honor, he was truly a hero.
A life well-lived: singer, sailor, circus performer, spy, soldier, husband, father, actor, comedian...there was no hat he did not wear, and wear well. Rest in peace, Eddie Albert.
Mr. Skinner, my words cannot express how knowledgable, and great your videos are. You are also a great and entertaining nararater! Your voice is so soft and calming. I subscribed. Mr. Skinner Thank You!!!!!
I was privileged to hear the poorest, yet most heartfelt speech of my life given by Eddie at the Farm and Ranch Congress in St. Lois in 1985. He spoke directly from the heart and had many in the crowd tearful. I will never forget his dedication to farmers. Thanks for this wonderful tribute.
I was lucky enough to meet Eddie in 1999 when he was 93. I fell in love with Green Acres when I was 14 years old in 1998. In 1999 I asked my mom if we could go to L.A. to try and find Eddie Albert's house. She knew how much I loved Green Acres and she had always wanted to go to L.A. anyway, so we went. On our second day there, we were able to find his house by using a Hollywood Star map. (a map that shows where the stars live) When we found it, we stopped out in front to take pictures. He happened to be sitting at his dining room table and saw us out the window. We saw him get up and head towards the front door. He came out on the front porch and waved for us to come up, so we did. I told him how much I loved Mr. Douglas and Green Acres and had my picture made with him. I was in shock...I couldn't believe it was happening. He was so nice to do that for us. I'll remember that day for the rest of my life. :)
Great story , thanks for sharing , good to hear he did that for you and your mother , good to hear he was a kindly person , and I know All about those " HOLLYWOOD STARS MAPS " I've used them a few times myself , some locations are accurate and some don't live there anymore , found Marilyn Monroe's house , on Sunset Blvd, she had a " Heart Shaped Pool " in the Side Yard , also Kirk Douglas's house and James Stewart's house in Beverly Hills , Jerry West's & Wilt Chamberlain's house in the Hollywood Hills ,also AARON SPELLINGS GIANT MANSION on the top of the Hollywood Hills, thanks for the stories
I'm so pleased that Green Acres was aired over here in the UK. When I was a little girl, I loved this series. This documentary has been a joy to watch, bringing back fond memories. What an amazing man Mr Albert was and his amazing achievements on and off the screen. So sad about Edward Jr after being such a dedicated son. Rest peacefully, all of you. Thank you, Mr Skinner, for making and sharing this video.
Well-said. I loved it too, and TV today, stinks in comparison. I enjoyed my time in the U.K., but never knew this was aired on TV there, at least at one time. I’m sure that was well before my time there.
A beautiful presentation. Green Acres was one of the very best television comedy shows of all time. Every character was hilarious, even Arnold Ziffle 🐖
Arnold Ziffle I forgot about him. I wonder what he's doing now..probably retired and raising a family maybe. As I recollect he was a good looking boy.He certainly had the chops for the acting although he was a bit of a Ham.
Greatest generation is a myth Russians beat Germany not u we did not even enter war until 3years after hitler invaded Russia 1000s of G I s deserted in Europe c book execution of private sloviek
Greatest generation myrn pushed by wannabes in hollywood and press Tom brokaw only I1 In 8 Americans were in combat press was censored in wwii real hero’s don’t talk about service only wannabes
@@jamesfrancis1950 : First, learn how to construct a proper, coherent sentence, moron! Second, Operation Barbarossa, (the invasion of the USSR), on June 22, 1941 by National Socialist Germany occurred. Guess what else occurred in 1941? The U.S. entry into WW2 in Dec. That's a whole lot less than 3 years after Barbarossa. You also say that "Russians" beat Germany. (Technically, it was the USSR, not just the "Russians".) Granted, I believe that to be true. Fully 80%+ of the German armed forces was lost on the Eastern Front. However, you must keep in mind that the USSR had nearly 3 times the population of Germany, was receiving vast quantities of logistics from mercilessly by American and bombers and pointless assertions go, yes it is true that there were desertions by GI's, but there were many desertions by soldiers in every army of the war. What about the millions of desertions by Soviet soldiers? Then there's Private Slovik. He was a deserter and a coward in the face of the enemy. He deserved to be executed. That being said, the military did not really want to execute him. No American soldier had been executed since the Civil War. But, Slovik kept pushing the issue, daring the military to execute him. Time and time again the Army gave him the opportunity to stop his nonsense and rejoin his unit, but he refused. So, they gave him his wish. You're talking about executing one American soldier for the entire war as being significant? Jesus, how old are you?
Jerry Skinner you are just a master of knowledge, and such a Wordsmith. I really thoroughly enjoy your videos, I can't imagine how much intensive labor you must put into them to make them so great. Thank you
Green Acres was my favorite show as a kid. I lived on my Grandmother's farm. You're always so respectful with all the biographies you do. Thank you so much.
My Uncle served on the same ship with Eddie Albert during WW2. Once I asked him what Mr. Albert was like and he told me he was the bravest man he had ever known.
Thank you. Mr. Skinner, for making biographies of many of the people I grew up watching. Your efforts are GREATLY APPRECIATED by this 56 year old Canadian.
Sorry but there's nothing heroic about being a hired government assassin for billionaire bankers destroying lives and family's. puke up that kool aid & undo your brainwashing.
@@acgillespie Im not trying to offend anyone,but The Truth is The Truth Whether its popular or not. I Would suggest the r. eading of Maj. General Smedley Butlers book WAR IS A RACKET.
I dont want anyone to get the idea that I in any way was trying to dimi ish Eddy Alberts service and heroism. Those were dangerous times. What I was agreeing with is that ALL Wars are the doings of the evil international banking cartel. A mafia that took over the United States Government Dec. 23rd 1913.
All true acgillespie, predictive programing, brainwashing I know. BUT, I dont want to turn Mr. JERRYS Chanell into something besides the focus on His fine work. HIGH IMPACT VLOGS. Is the best Ive ever found for The Truth May GOD help us all
Another great biography Gerry, sad ending with his son being only 55 when he died. Thank you for all the time you spend doing these love to listen to your voice it’s so calming.❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thank you. I grew up watching Green Acres. Eddie Albert was so much more. I had no idea he was a WWII war hero. Peace be with you Eddie and your family. MLS 💗
You know, I really do like these documentaries. They are so well researched and are presented in a really interesting way. We often call the people researched Stars, but they are often no different to most of the people I know, suffering failures successes and losses and often just continuing through the pain of sadness at loss and failure and the encouragement of friends and family. Only a few arrive and are well rewarded, but then again we all see success in different ways. Thank you again Jerry Skinner.
I dated Tom Lester, he was a sweetheart. We were neighbors in the same Apartment Complex in Burbank and he left notes on my windshield. Great guy, terrific actor.
I used to love watching Green Acres as a kid. I had no idea that Eddie Arnold was such a war hero. Great documentary as always Jerry.......thank you!!!
@@lesliekendall5668 Leslie......By golly I did accidentally say Eddie "Arnold".....didn't I ?......LOL. Ooops. Yes, I do know Eddie Arnold, and that he was a country singer from way back......just a minor brain fart, lol.
@@lesliekendall5668 Ha! I was just thinking how I accidentally get a few celebrities mixed up once in a while, with similar names, or they look similar. Cheers....
Jerry you are the TRUE old school documentary narrator of classic actors tv shows and classic movies. Long live you and anyone after you to carry that torch. God bless you my friend.
Such a wonderful story, Mr Skinner! I love how you tell the story fof your subjects with respect and honesty and today's one was no exception. What an interesting life Mr Albert had! Thank you
ATTACK with Eddie Albert, Jack Palance, Lee Marvin, Buddy Ebsen. Great war film. Made with hardly any money in short time, but the incredible actors and talented cinematographer pulled it off.
@@marjoriegarner5369 Agree. That's the point I was trying to make (hence, the quotation marks). In contrast, "heroes" like "John Wayne", widely regarded as emblematic of the American fighting man, never served because he was the first down to finesse his draft board after Pearl Harbor.
I'm crying like a baby here. I believe you give high honour to your subjects, regardless of their histories. A great thing and service. My favourite youtube channel, thanks Mr. Skinner.
I used to go to Eddie's house in the late 1970's, to service the pool. He had a big greenhouse in the backyard, filled with plants. I never once saw him. I did meet Alvy Moore (Hank Kimball), in 1994, 3 years before he died. He was a wonderful gentleman. I shook his hand, and told him that he played my favorite character on the TV show. Thanks for such an honorable tribute!!!
I got to shake hands with Eddie Albert as well as change his tire when I was about 25 what a nice person. He tried to tip me for helping him on the side of I-95 in Florida I told him no thanks I didn't stop to make money just to help he said to me it was nice to see that there was some good people out here still and that I was one of them. for me that meant more to me than money did.
Thank You Jerry, I love hearing about Celebrities that were loving parents and had close relationships with their children. Eddie Albert was a great husband, father, actor and human being. Not to mention a war hero. You have made find new respect and appreciation for Eddie Albert. Green Acres is still one of my favorite shows.
No matter how bright we may shine in this life we all age and fade with time, only hope, faith and love remain. Thank you for your honoring presentation
That was wonderful, I grew up with Green Acres and you had me laughing so hard remembering the characters and their bits. What an amazing legacy this family had! Their devotion puts a beautiful light on their careers, thanks Jerry.
Another quality production from Jerry S. It’s so refreshing to see long marriages and long lives in Hollywood. So sorry about their beloved son; I had not heard the story of his short life until now.
Thank you Mr. Skinner! Always respectfully done! Great info. on his service time! Very Sweet Man, loving Husband & Father! Hopefully his daughter is ok also! Always Love your videos!
What a beautiful, wonderful man and his beloved Family. Eddie was a really genuine person and kept that his entire life. Death takes us all, so it is how you live your life that will be a lasting influence on others. God Bless and thank you for this thoughtful documentary, Mr. Skinner.
That was heartbreaking to hear. After numerous acts of heroism, he blamed himself for not getting weapons to a group of marines fast enough. Men like him are rare.
For the past 20 years, i have assisted my dad on anzac marches. In recent years the turnout has been much greater. It is heartwarming to see that community support. Sadly there are new immigrants who completely reject the sacrifices made by these veterans. Freedom comes with a cost. I owe these veterans a debt that can never be paid.
I remember watching Eddie Albert many years ago on TV shows when I was a kid. He was a great actor. I miss those times. Jerry Skinner does incredible work in memorializing the stars of old and I really enjoy his documentaries. Thank you, Jerry!
I have a friend who was a chef for a craft serrvices company and interracted with many stars and celebrities overr the years. He always maintained that Eddie was the nicest , most down to earth, of all the ones he ever met.
Another fantastic biography Jerry, every time I watch one your bio's on an actor/show it brings a tear to my eye! You always have that hidden message in your video's about life and how quick it can be taken from us! Again thanks so much for putting these bio's/pictures together!
I met Mr. Albert in the 1980s; he was doing a "whistle stop" campaign for a charity or non-profit organization. He was very energetic, and had the kind of karma that when he looked at you, it was direct and engaging. Thanks for the small bios of people you mention. I always love your videos, Mr. Skinner.
Green acres, is the place to be! Farm living is the life for me! Land spreadin out so far and wide! Keep Manhattan just give me that country side!.... (Hey, this was my show at 4 years old) I loved it dearly!! 🏆
Mr Jerry I enjoy your videos immensely and my father who I've got my love of history from is going to recovery process right now and I'm going to sit down and share your videos with him and I do believe he's going to love them more than I do thank you so much for your hard work and thank you so much for some beautiful stories you give us
Green Acres had to be the silliest concept for a TV show, even a sitcom. But, oh, what a welcome escape from the gruesome nightly news about the war in Nam. I never missed it, and it was better than any antidepressant that might have been prescribed. This well-bred, sane attorney, living in a village of idiots. It was magic for its time! Thanks for this stroll down memory lane.
Jerry, another great bio on another great star. I can’t imagine the research and amount of time and energy you devote to each of these masterpieces. As always, keep them coming as you are true historian of the lost past. Thanks again, Jeffrey Randall. P. S. “ Attack” was a controversial classic war movie in its day, bravo.
Jerry Skinner, Sir you are far and away my favorite story teller of all time. What a story here about one of my very favorite shows. TY Albert and thank you Jerry.
I just watched that episode of green acres with the hot water soup 2 days ago. Now I have a craving for soup. Lovely man and war hero and I’m sure he wouldn’t be happy watching the country moving towards fascism.
A very informative memorial of Eddies life. He brought a lot of enjoyment and laughter and led an interesting life. Thank you Jerry for this biography.
A role model both on and off the screen, Eddie Albert lived a life untouched by scandal and misadventure. He was not just a great actor, he was a legend. Another stunning production by one of Web-media's finest gentlemen...Jerry Skinner...Thank-you...
Jerry such a wonderful tribute to Eddie Arnold. I remember reading about him at Tarawa. My dad the last of the brothers is a Korean War Vet USN and was stationed in the USS TARAWA. His brothers were in WW2. ONE was in the Army CORPS of Engineers and the first group to go into Buchenwald at the end of the War. My middle uncle was in the 394th Bombing Group out of England. He was in the Mighty 8th Army Air Force And served as a tail gunner on a B-17. Jerry I'm a Yankee living below the Mason Dixon Line in WV. I like your Mississippi drawl. Just discovered your page love the classic actors of yesterday. Infact when I was a little girl growing up in NY always loved the nostalgia movies even to this day. And will be 65 in Dec. Thanks for your postings. Eddie was indeed a war hero and a precious man. GO NAVY and SEMPER FI for all the sailors and Marines that gave their ultimate sacrifice their lives for the cost of freedom. Always loved The Longest Day, IN Harm's Way. And Green Acres was so funny
Great job, Jerry. My father was one of those US Marines in the Pacific Island campaign during WWII, and Eddie Albert has, consequently, held a special place in my heart. He was a gifted actor and a remarkable human being.

So grateful for your service.
A life well-lived: singer, sailor, circus performer, spy, soldier, husband, father, actor, comedian...there was no hat he did not wear, and wear well. Rest in peace, Eddie Albert.
So well said David.....I will now look at Oliver Wendell Douglas so differently now,...Thank you Jerry for a very interesting video.

A great actor, favourite of mine, and I loved him in Green Acres. A War hero, men like him are a credit to their country.
Gave an interview on a local radio show once and you just knew he was a class act. War hero as well. 99. One full life.
These videos are always of the highest quality and of great interest.
Green Acres Is The Place To Be. Farm Living Is The Life For Me. Land Spreading Out, So Far & Wide, Keep Me Happy, Just Give Me That Country Side!
It's "keep Manhattan"
Thank you Mr. Skinner! Always respectfully done! Great info. on his service time! Very Sweet Man, loving Husband & Father! Hopefully his daughter is ok also! Always Love your videos!
What a lovely man Eddie Albert and his famley were.
That was happy and sad. Thank you.
And yet another wonderful episode. Thank you Mr. Skinner.
Eddie Albert saved dozens of Marines at Tarawa in 1943. This selfless act of heroism will never be forgetten. Bless his memory, Semper Fidelis sir.
I never knew this. I stand in awe of a great man.
Excellent never knew so much about his life till now iam only 45 but remember watching green acres and seeing Eddie Albert on many movie's and shows
What a beautiful, wonderful man and his beloved Family. Eddie was a really genuine person and kept that his entire life. Death takes us all, so it is how you live your life that will be a lasting influence on others. God Bless and thank you for this thoughtful documentary, Mr. Skinner.
Master Jerry, this one made me cry. Thank you for the memories. How precious you are.
Beautiful Jerry. I learned a lot.
Thank you ! And I speak for all of us !
That was heartbreaking to hear. After numerous acts of heroism, he blamed himself for not getting weapons to a group of marines fast enough. Men like him are rare.
@Agent Fungus Yours is a valuable service
For the past 20 years, i have assisted my dad on anzac marches. In recent years the turnout has been much greater. It is heartwarming to see that community support. Sadly there are new immigrants who completely reject the sacrifices made by these veterans. Freedom comes with a cost. I owe these veterans a debt that can never be paid.
Where’s the logic, bring guys to get guns rather than guns to guys, typical jarheads
@@curiousgeorge5992 I dont know the circumstances. But Eddie Albert was no fool. I am sure he would have evaluated his options.
Mr.Skinner when I hear your voice I know I'm home just outside New Orleans on the way toward Hammond
I remember watching Eddie Albert many years ago on TV shows when I was a kid. He was a great actor. I miss those times. Jerry Skinner does incredible work in memorializing the stars of old and I really enjoy his documentaries. Thank you, Jerry!
I have a friend who was a chef for a craft serrvices company and interracted with many stars and celebrities overr the years. He always maintained that Eddie was the nicest , most down to earth, of all the ones he ever met.
Great story Jerry, thanks. I'll always remember Eddie's 'Persian Goodbye' in Oklahoma!
Another fantastic biography Jerry, every time I watch one your bio's on an actor/show it brings a tear to my eye! You always have that hidden message in your video's about life and how quick it can be taken from us! Again thanks so much for putting these bio's/pictures together!
Thank you Jerry for these always very human stories. They are wonderful.
I met Mr. Albert in the 1980s; he was doing a "whistle stop" campaign for a charity or non-profit organization. He was very energetic, and had the kind of karma that when he looked at you, it was direct and engaging. Thanks for the small bios of people you mention. I always love your videos, Mr. Skinner.
I used to watch green acres with my Grand mother I can still remember the theme song...
MeTV is carrying the Green Acres episodes for the summer, on in the evenings! Check your local cable for the MeTV station.
And sing it

Land spreadin out so far and wide!

(Hey, this was my show at 4 years old) I loved it dearly!! 🏆
Mr Jerry I enjoy your videos immensely and my father who I've got my love of history from is going to recovery process right now and I'm going to sit down and share your videos with him and I do believe he's going to love them more than I do thank you so much for your hard work and thank you so much for some beautiful stories you give us
Green Acres had to be the silliest concept for a TV show, even a sitcom. But, oh, what a welcome escape from the gruesome nightly news about the war in Nam. I never missed it, and it was better than any antidepressant that might have been prescribed. This well-bred, sane attorney, living in a village of idiots. It was magic for its time! Thanks for this stroll down memory lane.
Another great video Jerry, and I enjoy your narration. Thank you for sharing have a great week! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Jerry, another great bio on another great star. I can’t imagine the research and amount of time and energy you devote to each of these masterpieces.
As always, keep them coming as you are true historian of the lost past. Thanks again, Jeffrey Randall.
P. S. “ Attack” was a controversial classic war movie in its day, bravo.
Thank you Jeffrey. Jerry
I really admire this guy. He brought happiness to me.
He really did a lot in his life. A great man and a lovely family.
Jerry Skinner, Sir you are far and away my favorite story teller of all time. What a story here about one of my very favorite shows. TY Albert and thank you Jerry.
Outstanding work Jerry! You’re really good at painting the picture with the facts.
Thank you very much and it was very heartfelt for the Albert family may they Rest In Peace 🙏
I just watched that episode of green acres with the hot water soup 2 days ago. Now I have a craving for soup. Lovely man and war hero and I’m sure he wouldn’t be happy watching the country moving towards fascism.
Thank you that was a wonderful show about a wonderful man
A very informative memorial of Eddies life. He brought a lot of enjoyment and laughter and led
an interesting life. Thank you Jerry for this biography.
Just wonderful , thank you Jerry for this beautiful tribute
Very kindly and lovingly presented. Thank you, Mr. Skinner.
Excellent video 👌 TYVM ⚓ Jerry for sharing this presentation of Eddie Albert's biography.
Another top quality piece of work as usual. Not many can make 26+ minutes pass so quickly. Well done👍
One of the greatest shows ever made! Thank you for this.
What an incredible story about an incredible human being.Jerry never told it better than here.
A role model both on and off the screen, Eddie Albert lived a life untouched by scandal and misadventure. He was not just a great actor, he was a legend. Another stunning production by one of Web-media's finest gentlemen...Jerry Skinner...Thank-you...
That....was a beautiful story. Thank you Jerry.
Great voice, Jerry!! Your narration of these documentaries is impressive!! God bless you, man!!
This one had me in tears. What a great man and awesome life he had. He was blessed with a beautiful family. So sad about his son.
Mr Skinner, thank you for all your biographies, you go into so much depth that is often feels like you have left no stone unturned. Thank you sir.
Very touching...
A wonderful family. ♥️
another remarkable video. Excellent - thanks jerry
Jerry such a wonderful tribute to Eddie Arnold. I remember reading about him at Tarawa.
My dad the last of the brothers is a Korean War Vet USN and was stationed in the USS TARAWA.
His brothers were in WW2. ONE was in the Army CORPS of Engineers and the first group to go into Buchenwald at the end of the War.
My middle uncle was in the 394th Bombing Group out of England. He was in the Mighty 8th Army Air Force And served as a tail gunner on a B-17.
Jerry I'm a Yankee living below the Mason Dixon Line in WV. I like your Mississippi drawl.
Just discovered your page love the classic actors of yesterday. Infact when I was a little girl growing up in NY always loved the nostalgia movies even to this day. And will be 65 in Dec. Thanks for your postings.
Eddie was indeed a war hero and a precious man.
GO NAVY and SEMPER FI for all the sailors and Marines that gave their ultimate sacrifice their lives for the cost of freedom.
Always loved The Longest Day, IN Harm's Way. And Green Acres was so funny
Thank you Stacy. Jerry
Nice story Jerry. When I was 12 year old I passed Eddie going up an escalator. Keep up the good work!!
