A theater legend, Cohan was born to parents of Irish Catholic descent who were travelling vaudevillians. From a young age, he and his sister appeared in several of his parents’s shows and sketches and they eventually became known as “The Four Cohans.” The group became extremely popular and Cohan was writing all their material.
