Eddie Dean was born the 7th son of a 7th son of a 7th son- That must have been a lucky thing, as he enjoyed a long life and a long and successful career as an actor and singer. When he died in 1999 at the age of 91, he had been singing professionally for 80 years. He continued to perform and record long after he retired from acting, and many of his fans commented he sounded even better in his old age!
He was very cordial in his response- writing "Thanks a lot! A good friend and good likeness when I was young." Ironically, I drew this picture exactly two years to the day before he passed away.
