Ed Wynn

As early as his teens, Ed Wynn began working a couple of jobs to help with whatever personal loans he had. While he may have made a living as a utility boy and hat salesman, Wynn eventually found even more fame and success in the entertainment industry.

His first stints under the spotlight were mainly for stage productions, where he gained widespread recognition for his performance in The Perfect Fool. Wynn then found his way into the radio scene and hosted the show titled The Fire Chief. Along the way, though, he also landed a couple of acting gigs, notably for Disney classics such as Alice in Wonderland, Mary Poppins, and That Darn Cat. To this day, his performance continues to be a source of inspiration for many actors. In fact, he also holds the title of being a Disney Legend! For all his achievements, though, the actor only has one thing to say: “Thanks.”
