Sorry to say but unless somebody comes up with an idea. It looks like you've beaten us Sheba because I don't know and the silence from everybody else is deafening
A unique blend of character actor and superstar, Edward G. Robinson (1893-1973) may have lacked the physical stature and good looks of a leading man, but he more than compensated with the passion and authority of his acting. Forever identified with the snarling gangster of Little Caesar (1930), in real life he was a man of great kindness and courtesy whose generosity scarcely knew bounds, a cultured gentleman and a versatile performer whose 50-year film career encompassed a wide range of roles.
Edward G. Robinson was born Emanuel Goldenberg in Bucharest, Romania on December 12, 1893. He was the fifth of six sons and for the first 8 years of his life shared a small house with his parents, 5 brothers, and maternal grandmother. The Goldenbergs were fairly well off, but persecution of Jews throughout the country reaching horrendous levels. One of Robinson brothers was hit on the head with a rock during a schoolboy pogrom and years later, in America, died probably from the effects of the blow. It was decided the family should go to America but it took money to emigrate, more than they had to all go together, so the eldest brothers went first, then their father, and with the money they sent home once work was obtained in the U.S., eventually the rest of the family was able to make the crossing. They settled in New Yorks Lower East End when Emanuel was 9 years old. They may still have had cramped living quarters and their new life was by no means luxurious, but they were in America, the land of promise and opportunity. "At Ellis Island I was born again," Robinson wrote later. "Life for me began when I was 10 years old."
