Ned Wynn(1941-2020)
- Actor
- Writer
- Producer
In his celebrated autobiography, "We Will Always Live In Beverly
Hills", Ned uniquely chronicles what it was like growing up in the
glory days of Hollywood. It details, humorously and candidly, the
enormous amount of celebrity contact he's had, and the sometimes sad
but more often funny experiences he's had being among the elite of
Hollywood. Being the son and grandson of two accomplished actors as
well as the stepson of actor
Van Johnson, has led him through
some very interesting lessons in life including being a background
actor on several "Beach Blanket Bingo" films of the sixties and a
number of other films and TV shows (his performance in the remake of
"Stagecoach" clearly shows why he became a screenwriter and author) and
his featured role in the movie,
California Dreaming (1979),
which he also wrote, was further proof, according to Ned, that he
should stick to writing. He is the older of two sons of
Keenan Wynn and Eve Lynn Kimmel, the other
son being Tracy Keenan Wynn. He has
become an accomplished screenwriter and, in 1990, wrote his
extraordinary autobiography which describes his jaunty, sad, hilarious
and heartwarming path to his eventual career as author.
