Eddie Albert 1906–2005

Not only was Eddie Albert a great actor, he was an incredibly selfless human being—philanthropic and assertive. He played a major role in banning DDT, for example. However, if there's anything that I'm going to take from this obituary, it's this sentence:

The actor left Hollywood and appeared as a clown and trapeze artist in a one-ring Mexican circus.

Moment of silence for Eddie Albert, star of the one-ring Mexican circus.
