Eddie Lawrence's remaining three films were "Blade" (1973), "The Wild Party" (1975) and "Somebody Killed Her Husband" (1978). "Blade" reunited him with director Ernest Pintoff, an auteur whose original New York City-based films were considered to have little commercial appeal. The film follows a tough cop named Tommy Blade (John Marley) as he searches for a sadistic serial killer. Eddie has a memorable, though brief scene as a movie producer questioned by Blade. "Party" was Eddie's sole performing venture in California. In this Merchant–Ivory production which fictionalized the Fatty Arbuckle scandal, Eddie, made-up to resemble an approximation of Louis B. Mayer, played a grimacing movie mogul attending the titular event thrown by Jolly Grimm, the Fatty character, played by James Coco. The film was praised for its period feel, but received otherwise mixed notices and suffered botched editing and other mishandling by the distributor. Finally, "Her Husband", filmed in New York by the director of a number of "The Twilight Zone" episodes, Lamont Johnson, with a screenplay by "The Defenders" creator Reginald Rose, had Eddie in a semi-comical bit as a neighbor of the titular "her" (Farrah Fawcett-Majors). Despite the creative talents involved, this initial starring vehicle for the most-publicized of "Charlie's Angels" got generally dismissive reviews, engendering its widely repeated disparagement, "Somebody Killed Her Career".
