June: Eddie, would you care to stay for dinner? We're having roast beef.
Eddie: No thank you, Mrs. Cleaver. I really must be getting home. We're having squab this evening.

So sad! Makes me feel old.

He was a good actor, played that role very well. Not easy to deliver some of those lines without over acting. He was probably the most memorable character on that popular show. RIP

Class act, right up the end.

Had no idea he was LE in LA. Bless him.

 

[Blondie in Spokane]

He was perfectly cast as Eddie! RIP Ken.

There are TV channels that feature series from the 50s and 60s. I might check them out to see if Leave It To Beaver is on one of the Decades channels.

Leave It to Beaver Quotes

Citing Ken's character as Eddie came in handy over the years when I've described sanctimonious people, at least to other boomers.

Eddie Haskell: Hey Wally, nobody's home. Let's call up some girls and pretend we're talent scouts.

June Cleaver: [Enters the room.] Hello, Eddie.

Eddie Haskell: Oh. Hi, Mrs. Cleaver. Gee Mrs. Cleaver, your hair looks real pretty today.

June Cleaver: Well, you should know Eddie, being a talent scout.
Quotes - Gee, Mrs. Cleaver...

RIP Eddie.
