Novice Actor Lands Leads in Two Broadway Adaptations
Edward Albert, 21, son of Eddie Albert and godson of Laurence Olivier, stars in the film versions of Butterflies Are Free and Forty Carats. He studied at the Braille Institute and with Harold Krents to portray blindness, grew up in Palisade California, and pursued UCLA psychology, Shakespeare, photography, and translation before acting. He credits his parents and early life for support and says the roles came from the producers liking his work and his youthful innocence.
