Wife of comedian Jonathan Winters
Eileen Winters, 84, comedian Jonathan Winters' wife of 60 years, died after a long battle with breast cancer Sunday evening at home in Montecito, said their son, Jay.
The couple met at the Dayton Art Institue after World War II. In 1949, the year after they were married, Eileen encouraged her funny husband to enter an amateur talent show.
"The first time I heard him talk," she later recalled, "my jaw began hanging open. Did he make up all those things by himself?"
