Dec. 5, 2011 - PRLog -- “A comedian is not a man who says funny things; a comedian is a man who says things funny.” – Ed Wynn.  

Garry Berman is proud to announce the release of his latest book, Perfect Fool: The Life and Career of Ed Wynn.  This book chronicles the life of Ed Wynn who was born in Philadelphia and went on to become a star of vaudeville, the Ziegfeld Follies, radio and eventually Hollywood with his own TV show and many movies.  Mr. Wynn was awarded 3 stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Mr. Berman felt that for all of Ed Wynn’s impressive achievements, as a comedian/actor/director/writer that he has too often been overlooked in the years since his death in 1966. Perfect Fool sets out to correct this injustice with reviews, interviews, and never-before published photos, some courtesy of grandson Tracy Keenan Wynn.

"I began my research for a book that was intended to be a history of American comedy throughout the entire 20th Century,” says Berman.  “But, whether I was reading about vaudeville, radio, TV, or film, I noticed that Ed Wynn was prominent in all of them. So I decided to concentrate on his unique career alone."

This book is an appreciation of Ed Wynn’s talents, foresight and highly regarded ability to make people laugh virtually at will.

Perfect Fool (Bear Manor Media/ISBN: 1-59393-676-1) is available on Amazon and at BearManorMedia.com.
