Was portrayed by John Benjamin Hickey in _Life with Judy Garland: Me and My Shadows (2001) (TV)_.

He and Kay Thompson shared the same birthday (November 9th). From 1942 thru 1957) they gave joint birthday parties during which each presented a surprise production number using special material which featured their friends (Judy Garland, Ann Sothern, Chuck Walters, Ralph Blanel) each never told the other while rehearsing what the other was planning to present.

When "The Sound of Music" was first announced by 20th Century-Fox to be directed by William Wyler, Edens was to be Associate Producer. It was Edens who thought up the opening shot of the camera coming over the alps to reveal Julie Andrews coming up over the hill singing "The Hills are alive with The Sound of Music." Although Wyler chose not to direct, Edens' brilliant opening concept was kept in by Robert Wise.
