Perfect Fool. Wynn's latest film for Disney, The Gnomobile, will be released next year. Though his most recent recognition came from his performances as a variety of has-beens and never wases, his essential self was the Perfect Fool, a role he created back in the 1921 show of the same name. The show died, but the name stayed alive. Recalling all the doors he had opened in a funny way, comedians hailed him last week as the finest crafts man of them all. Said Red Skelton, whom Ed Wynn discovered on a street corner in Indiana 35 years ago: "His death was the first time that Ed Wynn ever made anyone sad." Perhaps the saddest thing of all is that there is almost no one left who knows how to open those doors.
