Ed Wynn
Ed Wynn (born Isaiah Edwin Leopold on November 9, 1886 – June 19, 1966) was an American comedian and actor noted for his ''Perfect Fool'' comedy character, his pioneering radio show of the 1930s, and his later career as a dramatic actor.〔Obituary ''Variety'', June 22, 1966, page 71.〕
Wynn began his career in vaudeville in 1903〔"New York Hoorays for Ed Wynn" (), ''LIFE'', December 20, 1937, p. 46, accessed May 31, 2011.〕〔"August Clown" (), ''LIFE'', July 26, 1948, p. 74, accessed May 31, 2011.〕 and was a star of the Ziegfeld Follies starting in 1914. During ''The Follies of 1915'', W. C. Fields allegedly caught Wynn mugging for the audience under the table during his "Pool Room" routine and knocked him unconscious with his cue.〔"August Clown" (), ''LIFE'', July 26, 1948, p. 70, accessed May 31, 2011.〕 Wynn wrote, directed, and produced many Broadway shows in the subsequent decades, and was known for his silly costumes and props as well as for the giggly, wavering voice he developed for the 1921 musical review, ''The Perfect Fool''.
==Early life==
Ed Wynn was an American comedian who was born Isaiah Edwin Leopold in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His father, who manufactured and sold women's hats, was born in Bohemia. His mother, of Romanian and Turkish ancestry, came from Istanbul. Wynn attended Central High School in Philadelphia until age 15.〔Biography of Ed Wynn at (Turner Classic Movies ).〕 He ran away from home in his teens, worked as a hat salesman and as a utility boy,〔 and eventually adapted his middle name "Edwin" into his new stage name, "Ed Wynn", to save his family the embarrassment of having a lowly comedian as a relative.
