THE HAT SQUAD: EDWARD ALBERT

Just over a year after the death of his father Eddie Albert at the age of 99, Edward Albert has passed away. He was 55 and the cause of death was lung cancer. For the last ten years, he had been the primary caregiver for his father.

Mr. Albert's most famous role was the lead in the 1972 movie "Butterflies Are Free" with Goldie Hawn and Eileen Heckart, who won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role as his domineering mother.

Albert's middle name was Laurence -- named after family friend and acting legend Laurence Olivier, who was his godfather. Born in Los Angeles in 1951, Albert made his film debut at 14. He played a runaway who comes across a Civil War veteran, played by Anthony Perkins, in the 1965 drama The Fool Killer.

The Monday meeting of the Malibu City Council was adjourned in his memory, because of his work as a local environmentalist and civic activist.
