Winchell, Walter [né Wincheles] (1897–1972), journalist. The most influential Broadway columnist of his day, he was born in New York and received some of his early training as a child vaudevillian. His staccato writing and similar delivery during his radio broadcasts, his often explosive innuendos, and curious “Winchellisms,” such as “infanticipating” for “pregnant,” earned him a huge following, and he was credited with saving a number of Broadway shows, most notably
Hellzapoppin, from probable failure. Biography:
Winchell, Bob Thomas, 1971.
