Harold Bernard "Jack" Albertson[1] (June 16, 1907 – November 25, 1981) was an American actor, dancer, and singer.[2] He began his career in vaudeville and as the demand for the genre declined, he transitioned into theater and later, film and television.[3] Albertson was an accomplished actor, one of only 26 performers to date who have won a Tony, an Academy Award, and an Emmy.
Albertson is perhaps best known for his performances as John Cleary, in both the stage play The Subject Was Roses (1964) and the film adaptation by Ulu Grosbard (1968), Grandpa Joe in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971), and Ed Brown in Chico and the Man (1974 – 1978).
Albertson earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1977. His star is located at 6253 Hollywood Boulevard.[4]
Early life
[edit]Albertson was born on June 16, 1907, in Malden, Massachusetts.[5] His parents were Flora (née Craft; 1879 – 1955) and Leopold Albertson (1880 – 1960). Both Flora and Leopold were born in the Russian Empire; Flora immigrated to the United States in 1897 and Leopold in 1903.[6][7][8] They wed on December 25, 1900 in Massachusetts.[9] He had two siblings, a sister named Mabel Albertson (1901 – 1982), who also become a famous actor, and a brother named Sidney (1905 – 1905), who died in infancy.[10] His parents were Jewish.[citation needed]
Leopold abandoned family while Flora was pregnant with Albertson. Records show he moved to New York City, where he remarried a woman named Pauline and worked as a life insurance broker. As a single parent, Flora supported herself and her children by working in a shoe factory.[7] Flora married Alexander Erlich (1884 – 1973), a Russian-born barber, in 1910, who raised Albertson and his sister.[11]
During a 1972 New York Daily News interview with Sidney Fields, Albertson reminisced:
"I was bright but disruptive. I didn't do homework. To cover, I made wisecracks and funny faces at the teachers. They told me to take my business elsewhere."
Albertson dropped out of high school, ending his formal education after a single year. He worked at several different jobs including: the local General Electric plant; in one of many shoe factories in the Lynn, Massachusetts area; and as a rack boy in neighborhood pool parlors, where he was a fairly good pool hustler, although he was always on guard to avoid playing anyone who could "out-hustle" him. The pool hall provided Albertson with an opportunity to learn a few tap dance routines from his fellow hustlers.
When he was eighteen, he began to be paid for his prize winning shows. His sister Mabel taught him the first "time steps" in tap dancing, and he picked up additional routines by watching vaudeville acts that played his hometown. Around this time, he started singing with a group called "The Golden Rule Four," who held their practice sessions beneath a railroad bridge.[12]
Career
[edit]Broadway
[edit]Albertson joined the vaudeville road troupe known as the Dancing Verselle Sisters. He then worked in burlesque as a hoofer (soft shoe dancer) and straight man to Phil Silvers on the Minsky's Burlesque Circuit.[13] Besides vaudeville and burlesque, he appeared on the stage in many Broadway plays and musicals, including High Button Shoes, Top Banana, The Cradle Will Rock, Make Mine Manhattan, Show Boat, Boy Meets Girl, Girl Crazy, Meet the People, The Sunshine Boys – for which he received a Tony Award nomination for Best Actor, and The Subject Was Roses – for which he won a Tony for Best Supporting Actor.[14]
Film
[edit]Albertson appeared in more than 30 films. He had an early minor role in Miracle on 34th Street as a postal worker who redirects dead letters addressed to "Santa Claus" to the courthouse where Kris Kringle is on trial. He won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in the 1968 film The Subject Was Roses.[15] He later apologized to child actor and fellow nominee Jack Wild for winning the award; Albertson expected Wild to win for his role in Oliver! Also nominated was Albertson's later Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory co-star Gene Wilder, for his role in The Producers.
Albertson appeared as Charlie Bucket's Grandpa Joe in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971), and in The Poseidon Adventure (1972), where he played Manny Rosen,[15] husband to Belle, played by Shelley Winters.
Albertson said that his one regret was that he did not reprise his role in the movie version of The Sunshine Boys. When producer Ray Stark acquired the film rights from Neil Simon in 1973, Albertson was expected to play the part, but by the time MGM had bought the rights in 1974 and was preparing to begin filming in February 1975, Albertson was not available because he was appearing on Chico and the Man on TV.[16]
Radio
[edit]Albertson was a radio performer early in his career. Among the shows he appeared on were Just Plain Bill, Lefty, That's My Pop and The Jack Albertson Comedy Show. From 1947 to 1949, he was a regular on the Milton Berle Show.[17]
Television
[edit]Albertson appeared in many television series, such as Hey, Jeannie! with Jeannie Carson, the syndicated Western series Frontier Doctor with Rex Allen, Rod Cameron's syndicated crime drama State Trooper, and the 1961–1962 drama series Bus Stop. He guest-starred on the David Janssen crime-drama series Richard Diamond, Private Detective.
From 1960 to 1961, Albertson was cast in three episodes of Pete and Gladys, with Harry Morgan and Cara Williams. On January 2, 1961, Albertson was cast as Sampson J. Binton, with DeForest Kelley as Alex Jeffords, in "Listen to the Nightingale", the series finale of Riverboat, starring Darren McGavin.[18] Albertson had a recurring role as the neighbor Walter Burton in eight episodes of the 1962 ABC sitcom Room for One More, with Andrew Duggan and Peggy McCay. He had recurring roles in Ensign O'Toole (1962–63)[19] and Run, Buddy, Run (1966). Between 1961 and 1964, Albertson appeared seven times on Mister Ed as Paul Fenton, brother-in-law (later just brother) to Wilbur Post's next-door-neighbor Kay, appearing as a stopgap regular for several episodes after the death of Larry Keating in 1963.
Other 1960s series on which Albertson appeared were: NBC's sitcom Happy, starring Ronnie Burns; Glynis, starring Glynis Johns; and Keith Andes, which aired for 13 weeks in the fall of 1963. Albertson appeared in two episodes of The Twilight Zone.[20] In a 1967 episode of The Andy Griffith Show, he played the ne'er-do-well cousin, Bradford J. Taylor, of series character Aunt Bee (Frances Bavier). He also appeared in a 1969 episode of the TV series The Virginian entitled "Girl in the Shadows." He appeared in The Big Valley episode "The Battle of Mineral Springs" (1969). In 1970, Albertson appeared as Billy "Moose" Valentine in The Men From Shiloh, the rebranded name for The Virginian in the episode titled "With Love, Bullets and Valentines".
From 1971 to 1972, he co-starred, with actor Sam Groom, in the Canadian TV series Dr. Simon Locke. He then co-starred as "The Man" Ed Brown on the popular series Chico and the Man with Freddie Prinze. He stayed for its entire run from 1974 to 1978. He earned an Emmy Award for that role in 1976, which was his second; his first was for an appearance on the variety show Cher in 1975.[21]
His television films, My Body, My Child (1982) and Grandpa, Will You Run with Me? (1983), were released posthumously. His final theatrical role was as the hunter, Amos Slade, in Disney's 24th animated feature, The Fox and the Hound, originally released in the summer of 1981, four months before his death.
Personal life
[edit]Albertson married firstly to Sally Regenstief (1910 – 2007), an Austrian-Jewish woman from New York, on January 6, 1934, in New York City.[22] He was 26 and she was 23. His birth name, Harold Albertson, appears on their marriage record. They remained married for at least six years, as both appear as a married couple living together in Beverly Hills, California on the 1940 US Census.[23] The marriage ended in divorce.
Albertson married secondly to June Wallace Thomson, Ph. D. (July 23, 1924 – January 9, 2015), better known as Wallace Thomson Albertson, a UCLA-educated LGBT and civil rights activist from Pennsylvania, on October 31, 1952.[24][25] They remained married until Albertson's death in 1981 and Wallace never remarried. They had one child together, a daughter named Maura Dhu Studi (née Albertson, born February 15, 1954).[26] Maura married Guyanese-American R&B singer Ronald Bertram Aloysius "R. B." Greaves, III on December 24, 1975 in Clark, Nevada.[27] The marriage ended in divorce and the two had no children together. Maura married Cherokee-American actor Wesley "Wes" Studi in 1990.[28] She and Studi had one child together, a son named Kholan Garret Studi (born October 29, 1993), who is also an actor.[29]
Death
[edit]Albertson died on November 25, 1981, at his home in Hollywood Hills from complications of colorectal cancer.[14] He had first been diagnosed with the condition in 1978. He was cremated. His sister Mabel Albertson died ten months later and both his and her ashes were scattered in the Pacific Ocean.[5]
