Paul Wing
Paul Wing (August 14, 1892 – May 29, 1957) was an assistant director at Paramount Pictures. He won Best Assistant DIrector during the 1935 Academy Awards in the short lived category for the film The Lives of a Bengal Lancer along with Clem Beauchamp. Wing was the assistant director on only two films owing to his service in the United States Army. During his service, Wing was in a prisoner camp that was portrayed in the film The Great Raid (2005). Early in his career, Wing worked as a reporter on the Chicago Tribune, after which he began working on radio. His responsibilities included writing scripts for Fred Allen and Phil Baker. In the early 1930s, he became an announcer and had his own 15-minute program, Paul Wing the Story Man, on NBC radio. By 1936, the program was available in syndication by NBC's Thesaurus transcription service. Wing was also NBC's director of children's programs. As "NBC's spelling master" he also had the Spelling Bee program, which began on NBC-Red in 1937. In the mid-1940s, Wing made children's recordings for RCA Victor. |
