Ed Wynn
(1886 – 1966)

Ed Wynn Firechief
1886 - 1966

Ed WynnThis collection contains the rare early 1930s comedy-musical shows starring Ed Wynn as one of his most memorable characters, "The Firechief." Best known as a fantastic character actor and vaudevillian style clown, Ed Wynn's babbling voice and trademark giggle are unforgettable.

Ed WynnBorn Isaiah Edwin Leopold, he jumped into show business at age 13 when he ran away from home to join a traveling medicine show. At 16 years of age he began performing on a local stage in Pennsylvania. His disapproving father insisted that the family name not be disgraced so young Isaiah Edwin Leopold became "Ed Wynn"

Outside of his radio career, Ed Wynn starred in 1920's silent films and continued to star on the big screen until his death in the 1960's. He also starred in his own TV show, "The Ed Wynn Show." His bumbling voice is instantly recognizable in the animated feature film, "Alice in Wonderland" and many others.

(Please note that many of the rare recordings in this collection may be of inferior sound quality.)

    Not to be confused with Fred Gwynne, I loved him in Nashville. Ed was wonderful. Fine actor, too, on Twilight Zone Season 5 Episode 12 "Ninety Years Without Slumbering."

    Ed Wynn was known for his distinctive comedic style, which often featured whimsical characters and humorous one-liners. A few of my favorite facts about him: 1. Zany stage costumes: Ed Wynn was known for his distinctive stage costumes, which often featured colorful and outlandish outfits. He was a flamboyant performer and his costumes were considered unusual and memorable. 2. First live television appearance: Ed Wynn was one of the first performers to appear live on television, making his debut on the experimental television station W2XBS in New York City in 1929. He was a pioneer of early television and his appearance on the small screen was considered unusual and groundbreaking at the time. 3. Hollywood career: In addition to his stage and television work, Ed Wynn had a successful career in Hollywood, appearing in more than 60 films. He was known for his comedic roles in films such as "The Early Bird" and "Too Many Cooks." 4. Philanthropy: Ed Wynn was known for his philanthropy and was a supporter of various charitable causes, including the March of Dimes. He was also a co-founder of the Screen Actors Guild and was active in supporting the rights of actors and performers.
