Isaiah Edwin Leopold (November 9, 1886 – June 19, 1966), better known as Ed Wynn, was an American actor and comedian. He began his career in vaudeville in 1903 and was known for his Perfect Fool comedy character, his pioneering radio show of the 1930s, his performances in classic Disney films such as Alice in Wonderland and Mary Poppins, and his later career as a dramatic actor, which continued into the 1960s. Wynn's variety show (1949–1950), The Ed Wynn Show, won a Peabody Award and an Emmy Award. Late in his career, he began alternating his comedic work with acclaimed dramatic performances; earning nominations for a Golden Globe and a BAFTA award for The Great Man, and the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for The Diary of Anne Frank.
