Andy Kaufman
Andrew Geoffrey "Andy" Kaufman (January 17, 1949 – May 16, 1984) was an American entertainer, actor, and performance artist. While often referred to as a comedian, Kaufman did not consider himself to be one. He disdained telling jokes and engaging in comedy as it was traditionally understood, referring to himself instead as a "song-and-dance man."〔("Andy Kaufman - the Song and Dance Man" ). BBC. June 29, 2003. Retrieved August 29, 2014.〕 Pranks and elaborate ruses were major elements of his career. His body of work maintains a cult following and he continues to be respected for his original material, performance style, and unflinching commitment to character.
==Early life==
Kaufman was born on January 17, 1949 in New York City, the first son of Janice (née Bernstein) and Stanley Kaufman. He grew up in a middle-class Jewish family〔Bill Zehme, ''Lost in the Funhouse: The Life and Mind of Andy Kaufman'' (New York 2001)〕 in Great Neck, Long Island, New York, and began performing at age 9. He attended the now defunct two-year Grahm Junior College〔(List of Alumni ) at college website〕 in Boston; after graduating in 1971, he began performing stand-up comedy at various small clubs along the East Coast.
