Happy Birthday in Heaven to #EdAsner, best remembered for portraying Lou Grant during the 1970s and early 1980s, on both #TheMaryTylerMooreShow and its spin-off series #LouGrant, making him one of the few television actors to portray the same character in both a comedy and a drama. Asner is the most honored male performer in the history of the Primetime #EmmyAwards, having won seven – five for portraying Lou Grant (three as Supporting Actor in a Comedy Television Series on The Mary Tyler Moore Show and two as Lead Actor in a Dramatic Television Series on spin-off Lou Grant). His other Emmys were for performances in two television miniseries: #RichManPoorMan (1976), for which he won the Outstanding Lead Actor for a Single Performance in a television series award, and #Roots (1977), for which he won the Outstanding Single Performance by a Supporting Actor in a television series award.

ED ASNER IN CIA TRAINING FILM, 1956!

NEWLY DISCOVERED: Suspects and Witnesses, NARA ID 653047. By Miriam Kleiman, Public Affairs

Mary Tyler Moore's Mary Richards shattered TV gender norms. Unapologetically strong, bright, capable, and funny, she was a role model to me and others.

The heart of the show is her often-challenging relationship with grumpy-but-kindhearted boss Lou Grant, played by Ed Asner who died yesterday (whom she called "Mr. Grant" for all 7 seasons).

Asner is well-remembered as an incredible character actor but lesser known as an Army veteran and activist. Searching through our always-interesting holdings, I found this CIA training film of 27 year-old Ed Asner as a brilliantly hostile witness. Recognize these expressions of anger, disgust, and scorn?

Ed Asner & President Carter, 2/28/1979, NARA ID 183724.

Asked by a reporter about a standout "brush-with-greatness,” Asner recalled this meeting and his longtime regret:

I carry guilt because I didn’t vote for Jimmy Carter in the 2nd election. I voted for John Anderson. I thought it would be a nice break from supporting a Democrat automatically. But I had met Jimmy Carter. I liked what I saw... What he’s done since leaving the office of the presidency has been ideal. He’s acted like a great man. I thought he was a good president. I don’t know why I decided to vote for John Anderson, other than as a way to break my habit. I realized later that the votes Anderson got might have been enough bring Carter on par with Ronald Reagan. I regretted that. That’s why I never went for another 3rd party candidate after that. Ed Asner, Kansas City Star, 2016.

You’ve Got Spunk! I Hate Spunk. - This shirt was inspired by a classic 70s television program. Ed Asner was the best and so very funny, The shirt would make a great birthday or Christmas gift for your friends and family.

Here are a few shots of the legendary Ed Asner at Ed Asner's 90th Birthday Party and Roast and the 1st Annual Ed Asner Family Center's 'Night of Dreams Gala' at Exchange LA among other events. Ed Asner was introduced to America as Lou Grant on the Mary Tyler Moore Show. He became an iconic favorite as the years rolled by with this titanically successful sitcom. That legacy has never died. We’d watch every week without fail. My mom and I often spoke of his character with Lou’s crusty exterior and lovable interior. The first time I shot Ed a I was ecstatic. Years later I got to know Ed better through Kat and Kramer. We once had a delightful conversation riding down and elevator together. Ed’s family is great and they do a lot for autism with his celebrity poker charity nights for Ed Asner’s Familt Center. Who doesn’t love Ed? I think we all love Ed!!! (BTW, one of my all time favorite images I show is of Lou Gosset Jr., Ed, Kat Kramer and Karen Sharpe Kramer gathering together for a quick chat "Kat Kramer's Films That Change the World" Presents Atomic Cinema Fest "The Man Who Saved the World" US Premiere. That was a great evening too.) Today is Ed’s 91st birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Ed and may there be many more!!! @edasnerfamilycenter #edasner #marytylermooreshow #lougrant #marytylermoore #comedicactor #characteractor #comedy #sitcom #tvstar #tvactor #70ssitcom #birthday #happybirthday #celebritybirthdays #actor #characteractor #comedicactor #comedy #tvstar #moviestar #performer #actor #birthday #happybirthday #celebritybirthday #losangeles #photography #photographer #losangelesphotographer #losangelesphotography #photographerslife https://www.instagram.com/p/CHoIoXzJl0e/?igshid=3g585h2t63gf
