George Michael Cohan, was an American entertainer, playwrite, composer, lyricist, actor, singer, dancer, and producer.
Cohan was born on July 3, 1878 in Providence, Rhode Island. George and his whole family told everyone that he was born on the 4th of July; however, there is a baptismal certificate from the Irish catholic church where he was baptized that says his birthdate is July 3. George’s parents were traveling vaudeville performers and he joined them on stage as an infant as a prop! As soon as he could walk and talk, his parents taught him to sing and dance so he could perform with them. |
