In his celebrated autobiography, "We Will Always Live In Beverly Hills", Ned uniquely chronicles what it was like growing up in the glory days of Hollywood. It details, humorously and candidly, the enormous amount of celebrity contact he's had, and the sometimes sad but more often funny experiences he's had being among the elite of Hollywood. Being the son and grandson of two accomplished actors as well as the stepson of actor Van Johnson, has led him through some very interesting lessons in life including being a background actor on several "Beach Blanket Bingo" films of the sixties and a number of other films and TV shows (his performance in the remake of "Stagecoach" clearly shows why he became a screenwriter and author) and his featured role in the movie, California Dreaming (1979), which he also wrote, was further proof, according to Ned, that he should stick to writing. He is the older of two sons of Keenan Wynn and Eve Lynn Kimmel, the other son being Tracy Keenan Wynn. He has become an accomplished screenwriter and, in 1990, wrote his extraordinary autobiography which describes his jaunty, sad, hilarious and heartwarming path to his eventual career as author.
