Haha. Troy, Yes, my father is Eddie Green. He and "Rochester" (Eddie Anderson) were friends. My father was on one or two Jack Benny programs with "Rochester". And "Rochester" was on a couple of Duffy's Tavern shows where my father portrayed Eddie, the waiter which was a major character in the program much like the "Rochester" character. As a matter of fact one of the newspaper headlines read "Eddie Green and "Rochester" Steal the Show". Troy you used the word "seminal". My father, Eddie Green, was a seminal figure also in regard to his role as Eddie the waiter in Duffy's Tavern. I think, though, that because he died in 1950 his name and memory faded. My mom sold everything she could including films, scripts, his television studio. And I am trying to bring Eddie's name to the fore of people's minds. Because he did work with people like Louis Armstrong, Eddie Anderson, James Baskette, Lena Horne. Btw, Rochester was a friend of the family and his son still lives in Los Angeles. Also fun fact: My father, Eddie Green, auditioned for the part that Eddie "Rochester" Anderson got in GWTW. So Eddie Green is big stuff, too.
