Anthony Dominick Benedetto was born on August 3, 1926 in Queens, to John Benedetto, an Italian grocer who immigrated to New York twenty years before his youngest son’s arrival, and Anna Benedetto , whose own Italian parents settled in the Lower East Side before the turn of the century. He was a creative kid, the sort who sang at school assemblies as he grew up in Astoria and soaked up his tap-dancer uncle’s stories about life on the road with the vaudeville circuit.
