The son of Brooklyn policeman who died when he was 8, comedy superstar Eddie Murphy was raised in the comfortable middle-class community of Hempstead by his mother and stepfather. A natural born class clown, he was voted the most popular student at Roosevelt Jr-Sr High. By the age of 15, he was doing stand-up gigs at $25 to $50 a pop, and within a few years he was headlining on the comedy-club circuit.

Early in 1987, Murphy was beset by bad news. In March, Handleman reported, Murphy "made headlines when taken to court by his first manager, a small-time agent named King Broder." Fired in 1980, Broder wanted a cut of all Murphy's earnings since that time. Murphy settled out of court, paying nearly $700,000. Later that same month, an Atlantic City tax-shelter scam into which Murphy had invested $240,000 was uncovered. The following month he was hit with a paternity suit.
