      Because he is not acting, that was a real reaction to two people he obviously cared about. It's very rare to see something like that.

      It doesn't surprise me; Alda seems like a true romantic. I love the fact that he and his wife, Arlene Weiss, have been "inseparable" (his word) ever since they first met in 1956. They've been married for 67 years. ❤

      of course he did. He cares for them even so far to keep William on the show. William contracted Hepititas near the fifth season and the writers are about to write him off. Alda went to bat for William because he had an autistic child and they needed that job.

      In your opinion. Many of us were glad to see Obama and Biden gone so the droning of thousands of women and children would stop, the end of the Iran nuclear agreement which guaranteed escalating wars in the Middle East, the ROE in Afghanistan that cost so many American lives. I dont sit by and let these snide comments pass any more, even if you are a MASH fan.

      he did but if this is her only appearance and its so short it doesnt matter much since we only get her last name and rank a lot of actors opt to do that when writers cant think of character names they come up with last names and the actor will use their real first name
