1. Eddie Anderson
   Eddie Anderson is a member of the Board of Directors of AMT. Eddie is the co-founder and Director of Pentech Ventures. Previously, he was co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Objective Software Technology (OST), a company specialising in software development tools. Eddie ... serves on the board of Applied Generics. He has a B.Sc (Hons) in Applied Physics from the University of Strathclyde.
2. Eddie Griffin
   Eddie Griffin was going to give it one more shot, channeling all that talent back into a once-lucrative basketball career. The fights, the arrests, and most of all, the alcoholism, all seemed behind him as he worked his way back into playing shape in Houston this summer. Many reached out to help him before and failed. Now, he was ready to show them all he could beat his addiction and succeed on his own. The Minnesota Timberwolves had cut him in March, but maybe he could still become the superstar many projected him to be when he was drafted seventh overall in the 2001 draft. In the end, Griffin couldn't outrun his demons, dying alone in a horrific traffic accident that sadly fit the other chapters of his troubled life.
3. Eddie Bracken
   In this high-spirited musical comedy, J. Newport Bates (Eddie Bracken) is a millionaire who finds women are only interested in him for his money. When he becomes infatuated with Teddy Collins (Veronica Lake), a cigarette girl, he tries to hide his true identity from her, hoping she'll be interested in him for himself rather than his bank account. However, once Teddy figures out who he is, Bates drops her, and he is about to give up on women entirely when he meets Sue Thomas (Marjorie Reynolds), a nice girl who isn't interested in his money (or at least not yet). Musical satirists Spike Jones and his City Slickers ... appear, though most prints are missing a bit from one of their musical numbers: a verse from a song that made fun of Eleanor Roosevelt was clipped after the film's initial engagements. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
4. Eddie Izzard
   Eddie Izzard is a unique voice in comedy, with a diverse, international background that lends him a fresh, cosmopolitan perspective; he is ... known for his transvestism, having coined the phrase "a heterosexual in a man's body." His delivery focuses on the absurd or surreal aspects of everyday things, and he has a unique knack for personifying inanimate objects, bestowing voices that seem uncannily accurate upon such unlikely characters as socks, earwigs, and cats, among others. The show captured here was originally performed in 1994 at the Albery theater, and his hilarious routine covers topics such as the sound of a cat purring; being a revolutionary liberal; bird migration; and horror movie conventions, to name only a few.

   Between being a mentor to many, and coaching basketball, Eddie Anderson seems to find time to help out everyone. Former Athletic Director at the Dunbar center and father of four, his community work doesn't go unnoticed. Currently, Mr. Anderson is the basketball coach at The High School of Science & Technology in Springfield, and as Erica Cartagena says "He's an excellent advisor and a very caring person for other teens in the pioneer valley of Springfield, MA."
6. Eddie Anderson -- Notre Dame

7. Eddie Cantor -- Al Jolson
   Famed singer/songwriter and comedian Eddie Cantor offers an alternative version of his one man show from Carnegie Hall in this performance featuring special appearances by such famous guests as Jimmy Durante and Eddie Jackson. In addition to offering a variety of beloved hits including "How Ya Gonna Keep 'Em (Down on the Farm)," "Ain't She Sweet," and "Ida (Sweet as Apple Cider)" with the accompaniment of piano players Henry Tobias and Arthur Siegel, Cantor captivates his bedazzled audience with tales of his days at Surprise Lake Camp, his famous friends, and the time he spent working as a singing waiter in Coney Island. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

   Sally Eilers heads the cast of Without Orders. Eilers began her career as a dancer before signing with Mack Sennett in the 1920s. She had a small part in Sunrise (1927), the first film to win the Best Picture Oscar® and she stayed busy during the early sound era in films such as the Buster Keaton war-comedy Doughboys (1930), opposite Janet Gaynor and Will Rogers in State Fair (1933) and in the Eddie Cantor musical Strike Me Pink (1936). But Eilers' career was rapidly fading by the late ‘30s. She would only make 5 films after 1939, one of which was Edgar G. Ulmer’s Strange Illusion (1945).
9. Eddie Murphy -- Richard Pryor
   Growing up Eddie Murphy idolized Richard Pryor and by the age of 15 had begun performing stand-up comedy himself.
