 Alda, Alan
Alda is the only person to have been honored by the Television Academy as top performer, writer and director.
An ardent feminist, Alda campaigned extensively for ten years for the passage of the Equal Rights Amendment, and in 1976, was appointed by President Ford to serve on the National Commission for the Observance of International Women's Year.
Alda's status as a feminist led a writer in The Boston Globe to dub him "the quintessential Honorary Woman: a feminist icon." Despite such associations, Alda's most acclaimed recent performance was his portrayal of a conniving producer in the 1989 Woody Allen film Crimes and Misdemeanors.

Alda debuted as Manon in Massenet’s "Manon" at the Paris Opera-Comique in 1904.
Alda was a forthright woman, her temper, as she noted, as fiery as her red hair.
In the polished and artificial world of New York opera, Alda was seen as plain-spoken and unconventional, a stickler for the terms of the contracts she signed with accompanists and other musicians, and quick to take slight.

Alda rejoices in much of his early childhood, traveling with his father, Robert, a noted vaudeville and stage actor whose cohorts were comedians and burlesque show strippers.
Alda almost didn't take the role; he was worried that "the show might become nothing more than high jinks at the front," he writes.

 'A New Life'
In "A New Life," which he wrote and directed and stars in, for a change Alda doesn't play a self-righteous lib a` le Martin Sheen, which is refreshing.
Nothing (as far as real-life family man Alda is concerned) could be worse.
How he fares is hardly nail-biting fare, but it leaves you with a favorable impression of Alda -- even if his openly bleeding heart has made you cringe in the past.

 Alan Alda Shows Off His Dark Side - CBS News

Alda wrote, directed and starred in a series of gentle comedies of variable quality depicting the foibles of American bourgeois life: "The Four Seasons" (1981), "Sweet Liberty" (1986), "A New Life" (1988), and "Betsy's Wedding" (1990).

 The Four Seasons - Nostalgia Central
This CBS sitcom was created by Alan Alda (and was based on his 1981 movie of the same name).
Alda himself turned up in some episodes of the TV series, reprising his movie role of lawyer Jack Burroughs, but the main star was the neurotic dentist Danny Zimmer (Jack Weston, again from the film) who, with his wife Claudia, moves out from Manhattan to Los Angeles.

 Autobiography dwells on Alda's early years | IndyStar.com
Fans of the CBS show might be disappointed that he didn't spend more chapters on the show, but the overall feeling of the book is such a lucky-to-be-alive one that you have to give the 69-year-old actor points for writing such a joyful work.
Alda was struck with polio as a young boy and suffered through what was referred to as the Sister Kenny cure, which could include massage and hot muscle wraps.
The Alda family was living the American dream: PTA, neighborhood potlucks and local politics.

Alda and Burnett play the "thoughtful" couple at the center of the sextet, which spends a year taking vacations together in each of the four seasons.
Much of the film's first half is sprightly and amusing, but the move toward serious drama later, and then a slapstick finale, is a bit hard to take.
Alda's debut as a director is nevertheless impressive, even if he clearly doesn't know what to do with the camera.

Alan Alda (best known as the wisecracking Hawkeye from the long-running TV series M*A*S*H*) wrote and directed this brilliant film which, for me, is the perfect homage to the successful marriage.
Alda's wife in the film, played by the legendary Carol Burnett, struggles to make sense out of what happened, and worries that all aging women (including her) may be cast aside without remorse by their husbands stuggling with the mid-life blues who want younger, sexier partners.
Alda seems to be doing a send-up of his own sensitive male persona as Jack, and a wisely cast Carol Burnett is actually pretty subtle as Kate.

Although he seems to be trying to be Woody Allen, but Alda succeeds in his own right and the result is a good performance in an enjoyable, romantic movie.
Maybe Alan Alda has yet to have success in the movies that would rival his television popularity, but it can't be from lack of quality work.
As for Alan Alda, who wrote and directed A NEW LIFE, he has the courage to portray someone as flawed as, well, the rest of us.

 Alan Alda - tvguide.com
The son of Robert Alda, an old-time Hollywood star, Alda began acting as a teen and found work on the small and big screens in his twenties.
After two decades spent almost exclusively in films, Alda returned to series TV in 2004 as a Republican senator on The West Wing, a political in-joke, since in reality, he is a staunch liberal.
The next year, at age 69, Alda scored an entertainment hat trick when he was nominated for an Oscar, an Emmy and a Tony.

 The Rugged Elegance World Marketplace | DVD : The Four Seasons
Written and directed by Alan Alda, it examines the effects of middle age on a group of married couples who are longtime friends.
I remember this one because It was one of the few movies I could get away with watching because it was during a point and time when all the movies that were coming out were rated "R", and I'm only 14 at the time.
This showed Alda's character as somewhat henpecked as he was trying to be peaceful, and his significant other played by Carol Burnett was itching for a fight trying to get Alda's goat throughout the whole movie.

 Borders - Store Inventory - Title Detail - The Four Seasons
Description: At the peak of his television-spawned popularity, Alan Alda was somewhat of a lower-level auteur, writing, directing, and starring in a series of films which maintained a low-key "grown-up" counterpoint to the increasing youth culture saturation of the movies.
Ostensibly a comedy, humor in the form of one-liners is more subdued in favor of situations, which does not really serve the film too well.
For example, a brilliant comedienne such as Carol Burnett is more or less relegated to the background as a sounding board for Alda's foibles, although she does prove herself a very talented "straight" actress.
