This story about his life is a good one, despite its brevity. I remember this performance as if it occurred last week:
On Jack Paar's television show in 1964, Winters was handed a foot-long stick and he swiftly became a fisherman, violinist, lion tamer, canoeist, U.N. diplomat, bullfighter, flutist, delusional psychiatric patient, British headmaster and Bing Crosby's golf club.
He
was a great comedian, unlike any other (except those who imitated him).
I was glad to see that he made it to the age of 87 and was content with
his life. That's the one and only prize in life, kids. If you end up
happy, you won. End of story.
