Trivia
Father of Alan Alda and Antony Alda.
Graduate of NYC's prestigious Stuyvesant High School.
Father-in-law of Arlene Alda
Was said to have vaguely resembled Cary Grant during his prime. Both actors were based at Warner Bros and each starred in two of the studio's biggest, ill-received fictional musical bios -- Grant as Cole Porter in Night and Day (1946) and Alda as George Gershwin in Rhapsody in Blue (1945). Alda's film career faltered badly after he was dropped by Warners.
Because of his parents' disdain towards his interest in an entertainment career, he initially took night courses at New York University majoring in architecture while working as a draftsman for an architectural firm during the day.
Second wife was Italian actress Flora Marino. Together they produced son Antony Alda, who died in 2009.
Son Alan Alda was ten and a half when he was stricken with polio, but fully recovered.
