Paul Winchell
Paul Winchell (December 21, 1922 – June 24, 2005) was an American ventriloquist, comedian, actor, voice actor, humanitarian and inventor whose career flourished in the 1950s and 1960s. From 1950–1954, he hosted ''The Paul Winchell Show'', which also used two other titles during its prime time run on NBC, ''The Speidel Show'', and ''What's My Name?''. From 1965–1968, Winchell hosted the children's television series, ''Winchell-Mahoney Time''.
Winchell made guest appearances on Emmy Award-winning television series from the late 1950s to the mid 1970s, such as ''Perry Mason'', ''The Dick Van Dyke Show'', ''McMillan & Wife'', ''The Donna Reed Show'', and two appearances as Homer Winch on ''The Beverly Hillbillies'' in 1962. In animation, he was the original voice of Tigger, Dick Dastardly, Gargamel, and other characters.
Winchell, who had medical training, was also an inventor, becoming the first person to build and patent a mechanical artificial heart, implantable in the chest cavity (US Patent #3097366). He has been honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his work in television.
==Early life==
Winchell was born Paul Wilchinsky in New York City on December 21, 1922 to Solomon Wilchinsky and Clara Fuchs. His father was a tailor; his grandparents were Jewish immigrants from Russian Poland and Austria-Hungary.〔1930 US Census, Brooklyn, NY, enumerators district 24-1447, sheet 19A〕〔http://www.filmreference.com/film/62/Paul-Winchell.html〕 Winchell's initial ambition was to become a doctor, but the Depression wiped out any chance of his family's ability to afford medical school tuition. At age 13, he contracted polio; while recovering, he happened upon a magazine advertisement offering a ventriloquism kit for ten cents. Back at school, he asked his art teacher, Jerod Magon, if he could receive class credit for creating a ventriloquist's dummy. Mr. Magon was agreeable, and Winchell named his creation Jerry Mahoney, by way of thanks. Winchell went back to reading magazines, gathering jokes from them and putting together a comedy routine, which he then took to the ''Major Bowes Amateur Hour'' in 1938, winning first prize. A touring offer, playing various theaters with the Major Bowes Review, was part of the prize. Bandleader Ted Weems saw the young Winchell while on tour; he visited Winchell and made him an offer of employment. Winchell accepted and became a professional at age 14.〔
