This quote is attributed to Bean:
“All of my children are good little communists.”

His father was a founding member of the ACLU.He also was once the chief of police at Harvard. Orson Bean had once been blacklisted by Hollywood for his outstpoken liberal beliefs (he attended a couple of Communist Party meetings.

If you read his Wikipedia entry you will see that much of the info there is almost verbatim of the above link but Wiki left out the quote about his children and the 2 Communist Party meetings. Interesting.

Now perhaps Orson saw the light in recent years. It mentions that he was a supporter of Nixon. Perhaps Andrew converted him. Orson sounded like they were close but who really knows.

I read that bio, just never had an interest in him I guess. I can't understand anyone, especially one of means, their infatuation with communism.

They're still talking a lot about Andrew but it's like the presser yesterday never happened.

Somebody is going to have to take those children under their wings. It's just a sad situation. Losing so many people in their prime lately.
