The Porn Theater Rumor ResolvedBy Chilton BishopThis book resolves all the rumors of Officer Osmond entering a porn theater, and shutting it down because a porn actor was impersonating . It is a great American story of how a poor, but hardworking family immigrated to southern two separate times to find better lives for themselves and their children. It is told with such freshness, such openness, that you leave the book thinking you might really know Ken Osmond, and the many challenges and great joys in his life. Let's face it: How many bad kid characters from are as indelible as Eddie Haskell.The book, however, could benefit with more polished editing.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Peek into ""By SkepticVery well written chronicle of Ken Osmond's life in the spotlight. Ken's experiences as an aspiring young performer give an interesting glimpse into what it was like in Hollywood in 1950's 60's (very different from what it is today). The co author, Chris Lynch, has trivia questions at the end of each chapter which are answered at the end of the following chapter. I liked those and found myself skipping ahead to find out the answers. Ken has a good view of his almost life-long journey as Eddie Haskell--the good and the bad. He's an easy to like person who is honest about the struggles he's had in his life.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A Blast From the Past!By Magra DearestThe true life story of Ken Osmond, aka- Eddie Haskell is a Baby Boomer's chance to reminisce about the portrayal of this t.v. actor's role as a scheming, deceptive young male who is friends with The Beaver Wally. The book also tells some not commonly known facts about Eddie Haskell's alter ego and life tribulations. A worthwhile read down memory lane to the present times.

Eddie Haskell was the bad kid who never went away. When child actor Ken Osmond stepped onto the set of Leave it to Beaver in 1957, he not only entered our living rooms, he homesteaded a permanent place in the American pop culture. The poster child for sneaky, rotten kids everywhere, he was the reference point for cautious mothers to warn their children about. And everyone in America knew an Eddie Haskell at some point in his or her lives. The amazing phenomenon of Ken Osmond’s character is still going strong, over half a century after the show’s cancellation. Even today, the name Eddie Haskell remains firmly entrenched in the American lexicon. Political foes from both sides of the ideological spectrum love to accuse their opponents of, “acting like Eddie Haskell,” and when Kobi Bryant argues a referee’s call, tweets go out labeling him as an “Eddie Haskell.” Psychology Today Magazine has published articles about recognizing and treating “Eddie Haskell Syndrome” and Matt Groening created Bart Simpson as his own version of “the son of Eddie Haskell.” Now it’s time to meet Ken Osmond, the man behind America’s preeminent bad boy. A man who, as co-star said, “Was the best actor on the program, because he was so diametrically opposed to the character he played.” A devoted husband, father and patriot, he’s a man who’s been forever shadowed by Eddie Haskell, but whose own life, was even more amazing than the character he portrayed.

About the AuthorKen Osmond is a former child dancer and actor who is best known for his portrayal of Eddie Haskell from the classic TV comedy, Leave it to Beaver. After the show ended in 1963, Mr. Osmond found himself to be hopelessly typecast and turned to law enforcement to find employment. His career, and his life were nearly cut short when he was shot 3 times at point blank range while on duty one night. Besides his iconic TV role, Mr. Osmond was the subject of urban legends. One was that he was the porn star , the second was that he was the outrageous rock star . Neither of these rumor were true. Mr. Osmond is retired today and manages his collection of rental properties.
