His mother was Maria Marguerita Guadelupe Bolda y Castilla, who became famous as a dancer and actress under the stage name Margo. Sometimes billed as Eddie Albert Jr., his first film role was <i>The Fool Killer</i>, when Albert was 14. Seven years later, he became famous playing a blind attorney in <i>Butterflies are Free</I>. He played <a href="/people/240/000085982/">Liv Ullmann</a>'s lover and her daughter's boyfriend in <i>40 Carats</i>, and in an on-set accident Albert was badly injured, breaking his shoulder and collar bone in six places. He continued playing his part, and says he has only seen the film once, at a party where the host screened it in his honor. He remembers it as "a nightmare of pain".<p> After several years as an American playboy in Europe, Albert's American film career never recovered its previous high profile. He has worked steadily, but mostly in forgettable films like <i>Hard Drive</i>, <i>Space Marines</i>, and <i>Fighting Words</i>. On TV, he played the evil Dr. Bennett Devlin on <i>Port Charles</i>, and the stalker Jeff Wainwright on <i>Falcon Crest</i>. On <i>Beauty and the Beast</I> (before it was a Disney cartoon, when it was a romantic TV show) he gave his life to save the Beast. Albert and his father co-starred in the 1991 Canadian TV movie <i>The Girl from Mars</i>.<p> Albert was a co-founder and Commissioner of Malibu's Native American Task Force (his mother, born in Mexico City, had some native blood). He was also a drummer, and often wrote and spoke on the topic of medicinal animals. Edward Albert died in 2006 after a 17-month battle with lung cancer. <p><b>Father:</b> <a href="/people/624/000022558/">Eddie Albert</a> (actor)<br><b>Mother:</b> <a href="/people/141/000135733/">Margo</a> (Mexican-American actress, b. 1917, d. 1985 brain cancer)<br><b>Sister:</b> Maria Albert Zucht (adopted by Albert's parents)<br><b>Girlfriend:</b> <a href="/people/924/000024852/">Kate Jackson</a> (actress, cohabited in the 1970s)<br><b>Wife:</b> Katherine Woodville (actress, b. 1938, m. 1978, one daughter)<br><b>Daughter:</b> Thais Albert (singer/songwriter)<br><p> University: <a href="/edu/471/000068267/">University of California at Los Angeles</a><br> University: <a href="/edu/486/000068282/">Oxford University</a><br><p> <a href="/honors/636/000044504/">Golden Globe</a> 1973 for <i>Butterflies Are Free</i><br><p> <font size=-2 face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">TELEVISION</font><br> <a href="/tv/783/000109456/">Beauty and the Beast</a> Elliot Burch (1987-90)<br> <a href="/tv/851/000048707/">Falcon Crest</a> Jeff Wainwright (1986-87)<br> <a href="/tv/594/000051441/">The Yellow Rose</a> Quisto Champion (1983-84)<br> <a href="/tv/361/000066163/">Port Charles</a> Bennett Devlin (1997-99)<br><p> <font size=-2 face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">FILMOGRAPHY AS ACTOR</font><br> <a href="/films/186/000161700/">Sea of Fear (22-Aug-2006)</a> <br> <a href="/films/674/000271858/">A-List (27-Apr-2006)</a> <br> <a href="/films/274/000109944/">The Work and the Glory (24-Nov-2004)</a> <br> <a href="/films/554/000085299/">No Regrets (6-Aug-2004)</a> <br> <a href="/films/453/000134051/">Ablaze (18-Jul-2001)</a> · Mayor Phillips<br> <a href="/films/867/000112531/">Mimic 2 (17-Jul-2001)</a> · Darksuit<br> <a href="/films/625/000036517/">The Man in the Iron Mask (5-Feb-1998)</a> <br> <a href="/films/850/000090580/">The Secret Agent Club (16-Aug-1996)</a> · Max Simpson<br> <a href="/films/381/000161895/">Space Marines (1996)</a> <br> <a href="/films/925/000038811/">Sorceress (4-Jan-1995)</a> <br> <a href="/films/177/000042051/">Guarding Tess (11-Mar-1994)</a> · Barry Carlisle<br> <a href="/films/189/000266388/">Red Sun Rising (1994)</a> <br> <a href="/films/051/000088784/">Sexual Malice (1994)</a> <br> <a href="/films/379/000137965/">Body Language (15-Jul-1992)</a> <br> <a href="/films/656/000138242/">Shootfighter: Fight to the Death (1992)</a> <br> <a href="/films/535/000084283/">The Rescue (5-Aug-1988)</a> <br> <a href="/films/703/000204091/">Distortions (1987)</a> <br> <a href="/films/271/000255503/">Getting Even (21-Feb-1986)</a> <br> <a href="/films/462/000163970/">Terminal Entry (1986)</a> <br> <a href="/films/117/000268310/">Ellie (1984)</a> <br> <a href="/films/827/000135422/">The House Where Evil Dwells (13-May-1982)</a> · Ted<br> <a href="/films/620/000084368/">Butterfly (Feb-1982)</a> · Wash Gillespie<br> <a href="/films/568/000260785/">A Time to Die (1982)</a> <br> <a href="/films/341/000084089/">Galaxy of Terror (Oct-1981)</a> · Cabren<br> <a href="/films/396/000042270/">The Day the World Ended (28-Mar-1980)</a> <br> <a href="/films/407/000203795/">The Last Convertible (24-Sep-1979)</a> <br> <a href="/films/521/000040401/">The Squeeze (25-Oct-1978)</a> <br> <a href="/films/394/000078160/">The Greek Tycoon (29-Jul-1978)</a> <br> <a href="/films/460/000038346/">The Domino Principle (25-Jul-1977)</a> <br> <a href="/films/338/000250585/">The Purple Taxi (21-May-1977)</a> <br> <a href="/films/654/000032558/">Midway (18-Jun-1976)</a> · Lt.
