Alan Alda Trivia
|
- Served in the U. S. Army, and he went AWOL every weekend because he was dating the woman that he ultimately married, Arlene.
- Once did a cartwheel down the aisle while on his way to accept an award that he had just won.
- He commuted from LA to his home in New Jersey every weekend for 11 years while starring in "M*A*S*H" (1972). His wife and daughters lived in NJ, and he did not want to uproot the family to LA, especially because he did not know how long the show would last.
- Suffered from bad case of Polio as a young child.
- "If you work very, very hard, this is the kind of actor, writer, and director you may turn out to be. And if you work extra hard, this is the kind of person you may turn out to be." - James Lipton, to students at New School University, where Alda gave an interview.
