Famous Veteran: Eddie Albert

"I don't really care how I am remembered as long as I bring happiness and joy to people."

The oldest of five children, Eddie Albert Heimberger was born on April 22, 1906. He grew up in Minneapolis and started working as a paper boy when he was 6. Albert attended school around the same time as World War I, and he was frequently taunted about his German last name. He later dropped it because people in the entertainment industry kept mispronouncing it as "Hamburger."

After graduating from the University of Minnesota with a degree in business, Albert attempted to work as a businessman. However, the stock market crash of 1929 made it overwhelmingly hard for him to make inroads. To sustain a living, Albert worked odd jobs as a trapeze performer, insurance salesman and nightclub singer. After moving to New York in 1933, he began co-hosting a radio show called "The Honeymooners -- Grace and Eddie Show." He moved on to Broadway soon after, then found himself performing in television shows. By 1938, Albert had made it to Hollywood with his debut feature

Albert's year of birth was frequently given as 1908, but this is incorrect. While many Hollywood figures have often given years of birth later than their true ones (in order to present themselves as being younger than they are), the motivation in this case was provided by Albert's mother, who began the practice because she was unmarried when Albert was born, but was married by 1908. Albert also stated that he dropped his last name, "Heimberger", not so much out of a desire to have a stage name, but rather because it was almost invariably mangled into "Hamburger".
