New interviews on Nostalgia Tonight with Joe Sibilia shed light on Winchell’s final years, including an estrangement with his daughter, voice actress April Winchell.
“A friend of mine said, ‘I don’t want his daughter to find out [in] the media,’” Summers recalled. “So would you feel comfortable enough calling her? And I did. I called her, and I said, ‘I have some bad news for you.’ And she said, ‘What’s that?’ I said, ‘Your dad just passed away.’”
“He never believed that his daughter was his daughter,” he continued. “And apparently they did not have a relationship in any way, shape, or form, and had not talked in years.”
“The night before he died, I mean, I was with him because I just happened to be with him,” Dubrow told Sibilia. “He wasn’t sick or anything like that… We were sitting in the backyard and we were hanging out, having fun.”
It was Dubrow who would go on to inform the public.
As Dubrow explained, Winchell was far more than his cheerful stage persona. He was an inventor and humanitarian who wrestled with serious inner turmoil.
Dubrow also recalled a rare moment of softness, when he caught a glimpse of Winchell teaching Dubrow’s daughter the art of ventriloquism.
Dubrow, who has lectured on Winchell’s life and legacy at the Vent Haven Museum, said he remains committed to sharing the full scope of Winchell’s impact.
“Anybody that asks me to come and speak about Paul, it’s my pleasure, and I feel like I owe it to him,” Dubrow said. “He was an amazing man.”
