Herb Edelman (5 November 1933, Brooklyn, New York – 21 July 1996, Woodland Hills, California) was an American actor. He was twice-nominated for an Emmy for his work on TV.

Biography

Before becoming an actor, Edelman studied to be a veterinarian at Cornell University, but he left during his first year. His other occupations included a journalist, a radio operator and announcer for the Armed Forces, and, after dropping out of Brooklyn College, a hotel manager. Edelman started acting in theater, where he performed in Barefoot in the Park; he played the same role in the 1967 movie. Edelman made appearances in many TV shows ( including "The Good Guys" with Bob Denver), movies, and TV movies over the years, but is probably best remembered for his recurring role as Dorothy Zbornak's ex-husband Stan on the long-running sitcom The Golden Girls.

Edelman had an extensive television career that spanned three decades (even appearing on the 1970s sitcom Maude, his future co-star Bea Arthur's show), Love, American Style, St. Elsewhere and Murder She Wrote. He was married to soap opera actress Louise Sorel from 1964-1970. Edelman was romantically linked with actress Christina Pickles, with whom he costarred on St. Elsewhere during the mid-1980s.

Herb Edelman died in 1996 at age 62 of emphysema.
