Edward Albert Heimberger, known to most of us as Eddie Albert, was born April 22, 1906, in Rock Island, Illinois, one of the Quad Cities, along with Moline, Illinois, Davenport, Iowa, and Bettendorf, Iowa. He is probably best known for starring with Eva Gabor on the television series Green Acres, whose real star, of course, was Arnold Ziffel, a pig played by several Chester White pigs, mostly sows. The pigs had to be changed frequently because pigs grow very fast and to rather substantial sizes, and also because, of course, the pigs were known to ham it up in front of the cameras.
