Winters family photos

Jonathan Winters as "Maude Frickert" one of his many hilarious characters. Jonathan Harshman Winters III was born November 11, 1925 in Dayton Ohio. While his grandfather had owned a bank and his father was an investment banker, like many families of the era the Great Depression of the 1930's decimated the family's fortunes. His parents separated and he and his mother moved to Springfield Ohio to live with his grandmother. After serving in the Marines in World War 2, he went on to study cartooning and met his wife (married until her death in 2009), Eileen Schauder. They had two children. After leaving the art career he was pursuing and entering radio, Jonathan broke into television and movies, becoming one of the most famous comedians of his day. His comedic characters ranged from Maude Frickert (shown) to impersonating the voice of President John Kennedy on the Jack Paar show. Another generation of television watchers knew him as "Mearth" the son of the title characters on "Mork and Mindy." He was a comedic hero of Robin Williams. Jonathan died on April 11, 2013 at the age of 87 in Montecito, California. He brought a lot of laughter and joy to generations of Americans and will be sorely missed.

Peter Ustinov and Jonathan Winters. I met both of them when I was a teenager. But I had conversations with Ustinov several times. I also met Peter again when I was older.

Jonathan Winters and Jack Klugman.

The first time I met Jonathan Winters was in 1958 in front of the Warwick Hotel. He was appearing on the Jack Paar Show and he was friends with Betty White. As soon as I saw him I said, "Can I have your autograph?" And he said, "Look Kid, you don't even know who I am!" I said, "You are that famous comedian Jonathan Winters!" (His jaw dropped.) "As a matter of fact, you are in this magazine, 'TV Annual!'" "Really? Let me see it!" I opened it to his photograph and said, "I've seen you at Jack Paar and I'm friends with Betty White too." He was beaming with happiness and autographed the magazine or an index card. 50 years later I bought his art book and still have it!
