Kenneth Charles Osmond (June 7, 1943 – May 18, 2020)
Beginning a prolific career as a child actor at the age of four, Osmond is best known for his iconic role as Eddie Haskell on the 1950's television series Leave It to Beaver, and for having reprised it on the 1980's revival series The New Leave It to Beaver. During the final years of the 1950's show, Osmond was in the U.S. Army Reserve as an armorer and was granted leave to film episodes in return for personal appearances for the Army's Special Services. He earned small parts on TV shows after the series ended, but felt typecast by the role. Osmond found it hard to get steady acting work and became a Los Angeles policeman. On September 20, 1980, Osmond was struck by five bullets while in a foot chase with a suspected car thief. He was protected from four of the bullets by his bullet-resistant vest, with the fifth bullet ricocheting off of his belt buckle. After retiring from police work, he resumed his acting career. Osmond would once again reprise his role as Eddie Haskell in the 1997 feature film Leave It to Beaver. In the film, Osmond played Eddie Haskell, Sr., and Adam Zolotin played his son Eddie Haskell, Jr. He was married from 1969 until his death and had two children. Osmond died on May 18, 2020 at age 76.
