Actor, comedian, ventriloquist, humanitarian, and inventor Paul Winchell was born 100 years ago today! (He died in 2005). Born as Paul Wilchinsky, he hosted several series with his dummies Jerry Mahoney and Knucklehead Smiff. I have fond memories of his show when I was a kid in the late 1960s! Winchell also appeared "solo" on several TV shows. Using his medical training, he invented and patented an artificial heart! As a voice actor, he was famous as the voice of Winnie the Pooh's friend Tigger.
