- The Truth About Burt Lancaster (1913 - 1994) Burt Lancaster Life Story
Imagine a young New Yorker, swapping the grit of city streets for the dazzling heights of the trapeze. That was Burt Lancaster, a future Hollywood legend who began not under the spotlight, but soaring through the air with nothing but raw talent and daring. This athleticism, coupled with rugged good looks and a surprising depth, would propel him from circus performer to become an iconic screen presence, captivating audiences for over four decades. In a career that spanned 45 years, Burt Lancaster was first known as the good guy with the big heart, and later, for his more artistically challenging roles. From war dramas to Westerns, Film Noir, romances, and more, Burt Lancaster captivated audiences with his distinctive voice and compelling presence.
Burton Stephen Lancaster was born on November 3, 1913, in East Harlem, NY. His parents were Elizabeth (Roberts) and James Lancaster. All his grandparents were immigrants from Ireland. When he was 9 years old, he met Nick Cravat, and the two became lifelong friends. They learned how to act in local theater productions and practiced circus arts together for years.
Lancaster was an athletic child, and he was a basketball star in high school. Eventually, he became a gifted gymnast. His talent as an athlete earned him a scholarship to New York University. However, he never completed his degree.
Lancaster’s love of gymnastics led him to become an acrobat with Nick Cravat. The duo was called Lang and Cravat, and they joined the Kay Brothers Circus in the 1930s. However, due to an injury, Lancaster had to give up his acrobatic career. For a few years, he worked odd jobs, including gigs as a singing waiter.
In 1943, Lancaster enlisted in the U.S. Army and began performing with the Army’s 21st Special Services Division, which had entertainers following ground troops to put on USO shows to keep up morale. Lancaster served in Italy from 1943 to 1945 with General Mark Clark’s Fifth Army, until he was discharged.
Following his Army service, Lancaster returned to New York and wasn’t sure what he would do next. However, he was “discovered” by a producer who saw him in an elevator and talked Lancaster into going on an audition for a Broadway show. He landed the job and was cast in A Sound of Hunting in 1945. The show was not a hit and closed after only three weeks, but Lancaster got a break: he caught the eye of a Hollywood agent named Harold Hecht.
Although other agents were also interested, only Hecht made Lancaster an offer he couldn’t refuse: the chance to become a producer within five years of going to Hollywood. With that, Burt Lancaster left New York and moved to Los Angeles.
