Larry King was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. His father, a bar owner, died when he was only nine, and his mother had to go on welfare to support Larry and his younger brother. Discouraged by his father's death, Larry stopped paying attention in school, dooming his chances for higher education. After graduating from high school, he went to work to help support his mother. From an early age, he had dreamed of a career in radio, and haunted the radio studios of New York. In his 20s, working as a UPS delivery man, it seemed he would never get any closer to achieving his dream.
