The adored actor Danny DeVito has mesmerized audiences with his skill and charm for decades. DeVito, who was born in 1944 in Neptune, New Jersey, was teased as a child because of his height. He became passionate about acting in spite of the difficulties, and in 1966 he received his degree from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts.

After working at his sister’s hair salon, DeVito moved to Hollywood to further his career. There, he embraced the flower child culture but still had a strong desire to pursue acting. After moving back to New York City, he pursued Off-Broadway theater, which is how he met Rhea Perlman by chance.

Acting was a dream shared by Brooklyn, New York native Rhea Perlman. Their paths crossed when Rhea went to an Off-Broadway performance featuring DeVito in 1970. Rhea set up a date after being enthralled with DeVito’s performance, and their friendship developed into a romantic partnership.
