Born to a prominent family in Chicago on June 4, 1936, actor Bruce Dern's grandfather was the sixth governor of Utah, serving from 1925 to
1933. His godfather was well-known politician Adlai Stevenson, who ran for president twice in the 1950s. Dern attended the prestigious
Choate School before enrolling at the University of Pennsylvania in 1954. Interestingly, he first made headlines while a student at Penn;
in February 1957, Dern was benched by his track coach for having long sideburns, and the controversy spilled over into newspapers across
the country. In the late 1950s, Dern also studied with Lee Strasberg at the Actor's Studio alongside Marilyn Monroe and Susan Strasberg.
He found roles in several plays before being cast in the Broadway production of The Shadow of a Gunman in 1958. During the
following year he was cast in Sweet Bird of Youth in a supporting role.
