Sidney Lumet was born on June 25, 1924, in Philadelphia, U.S. His father, Baruch Lumet, was an actor and mother, Eugenia, a dancer both worked in the Yiddish (Jewish) theatre. Lumet began acting as a child on the same stage and later graduated to Broadway. He fell in love with New York City where most of his movies are located. In fact in some of them, the place is almost a character. When the `Golden Age of Television' dawned, he was drawn to direction and worked on many live TV plays during the 1950s. This rich experience stood him in good stead when he began to make movies.
