Danny DeVito, born in 1944 in Neptune, New Jersey, and Rhea Perlman, born four years later in Brooklyn, New York, both grew up on the East Coast.

Meanwhile, Rhea shared his passion for acting and said he couldn’t wait to leave Brooklyn to pursue his dreams.
Road to glory
Danny’s path to professional acting took an unexpected turn when he took a makeup class at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York.
