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:
“When lilacs last in the dooryard bloomed
And the great star early drooped in the western sky in the night,
I mourned, and yet shall mourn with ever-returning spring.
Ever-returning spring, trinity sure to me you bring,
Lilac blooming perennial and drooping star in the west,
And thought of him I love.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“Everything one does in life, even love, occurs in an express train racing toward death. To smoke opium is to get out of the train while it is still moving. It is to concern oneself with something other than life or death.”
—Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
