Brooks was born in 1926 to a Jewish family in Brooklyn, New York. He was a sickly child, and a frequent target of bullying. Like many comedians, Mel Brooks learned to deal with his difficulties and make friends through comedy and humor. At popular resorts throughout the Catskills, he began his career as an entertainer, serving as a master of ceremonies and stand-up comedian.
