Ken Osmond, the actor known around the world as Eddie Haskell on Leave It to Beaver, died earlier today at age 76. We had an opportunity to speak to Ken in October 2014. It was a well rounded conversation that covered not only his showbiz life before and after Leave It to Beaver, but his distinguished career as a peace officer with the LAPD. If you have not hear that conversation, it’s available for listening on demand. Our condolences to Ken’s family, friends, loved ones and fans
