[WizardOfAz]

Eddie Albert, the actor best known as the constantly befuddled city slicker-turned-farmer in television's "Green Acres," has died. He was 99.

Albert, who appeared in movies and television for more than 50 years, died of pneumonia Thursday at his home in the Pacific Palisades area, in the presence of his longtime caregivers and son Edward, family friend Dick Guttman said Friday.

Wow - I had no idea he was THAT old. Remember him from a lot of movies/tv shows.

Just saw the last part of the original Longest Yard last night (he was the warden).

RIP

Check him out in Roman Holiday. He was pretty funny.
