Born in White Plains, New York, on January 23, 1907, the son of a textile salesman, Dan expressed an early interest in acting and was a member of his hometown high school`s drama club. Majoring in English at Cornel University and president of his university`s drama society, he abruptly changed the course of his career after deciding that the advertising business was perhaps a more level-headed pursuit. The frantic pace in such a cut-throat field, however, triggered an unexpected, thankfully mild heart attack in his late 20s, and he gave it all up to return to his first love -- acting.
