Early Life
Bob Krakower was born in Paterson, New Jersey. His parents Alvin (a doctor) and Diane (an office manager) were married for twenty nine years until his father’s death in 1987. He grew up in Oradell, New Jersey, graduating from River Dell High School. Many of his summers were spent with his grandparents in Brooklyn, New York, where his grandfather ran a knish & beer stand on the Brighton Beach boardwalk. Bob went to Tufts University, double majored in English and Psychology, and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts. In order to fulfill a course requirement, he ended up in an acting class, which proved to be a lucky fluke. After taking several classes, the theatre faculty spotted his ability to help actors, and enlisted him to help his fellow students with their performance. By the time Bob graduated, he knew he wanted to teach acting.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“I could be, I discovered, by turns stern, loving, wise, silly, youthful, aged, racial, universal, indulgent, strict, with a remarkably easy and often cunning detachment ... various ways that an adult, spurred by guilt, by annoyance, by condescension, by loneliness, deals with the prerogatives of power and love.”
—Gerald Early (20th century)
“Most of a modest woman’s life was spent, after all, in denying what, in one day at least of every year, was made obvious.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
