ED WYNN

Ed Wynn was an actor from the 1920s to the 1960s. Some of his movies include: Mary Poppins, Alice in Wonderland, The Diary Of Anne Frank (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film), and The Greatest Story Ever Told. His son was Keenan Wynn, a memorable dramatic actor, and the two appeared together for the first time in 1956 in the TV movie adaptation of "Requiem for a Heavyweight". The director of that TV movie, Ralph Nelson, then made a really unusual fictionalized TV movie about that TV movie four years later, called "The Man in the Funny Suit", and it starred both Wynns once again. They also appeared together in Disney's "The Absent Minded Professor" and "Son of Flubber". Ed Wynn passed away in 1966 at the age of 79.
