You forgot one of the more interesting tidbits from his life … he died of a heart attack during Lucille Ball’s Friar’s Club Roast.
that is correct cybele. in addition he is the father of albert brooks and bob einstein(super dave osborne-showtime, curb your enthusiasm) his real name was harry einstein. albert brooks real name is actually albert einstein!
wait a minute…walk of famers are actually buried beneath their stars? Is that a Scientology thing?
A lightbulb appears over George Romero’s head.

yes, that is the pronounciation, and thus he named one of his children, albert einstein!!
And thus Albert changed his last name to Brooks!
Harry Einstein was a radio commedian who did a Greek dialect and mangle the English language. Sometimes his first name was “Takacharrin.”

Harry’s had two acting sons: Eddie Albert and Bob Einstein (was Super Dave Osborn)
