Introduction

Ken Osmond was an American actor and police officer. Beginning a career as a child actor at the age of four, Ken played the role of Eddie Haskell on the late 1950s to early 1960s television comedy Leave It to Beaver and again on the 1980s revival of the series: The New Leave It to Beaver. Typecast by the role, he found it hard to get other acting work and became a Los Angeles police officer. After retiring from police work, he resumed his acting career. In 1969, Osmond married Sandra Purdy. They had two sons, Eric E. Osmond and Christian S. Osmond. Osmond's son Eric told The Hollywood Reporter that his father died. "He was an incredibly kind and wonderful father," his son said in a statement Monday. "He had his family gathered around him when he passed. He was loved and will be very missed."

Now only the two principal characters are left pretty much - maybe a few of the Beaver's classmate characters are living. Eddie and Lumpy are gone as are the parents. Ken Osmond was a good Actor but got type-cast as the wise guy Eddie.

I sat next to Ken Osmond at a weekend autograph show at The Beverly Garland Hotel in L. A back in the 1990's. (See photo). I wore a t-shirt which read, "My best friend is Eddie Haskell". He was a little baffled that such a thing existed. And he was surprised at how many people wanted his autograph! He was a modest, unassuming guy.
