==Early life==
Crystal was born at Doctors Hospital on the Upper East Side of Manhattan,〔 and initially raised in The Bronx. As a toddler, he moved with his family to 549 East Park Avenue in Long Beach, New York, on Long Island.〔 He and his older brothers Joel and Richard, nicknamed Rip, were the sons of Helen (née Gabler), a housewife, and Jack Crystal, who owned and operated the Commodore Music Store, founded by Helen's father, Julius Gabler.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.filmreference.com/film/61/Billy-Crystal.html )〕 Jack Crystal was also a jazz promoter, a producer, and an executive for an affiliated jazz record label, Commodore Records, founded by Helen's brother, musician and songwriter Milt Gabler.〔 Crystal is Jewish (his family emigrated from Austria and Russia).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Billy is crystal clear )〕 The three young brothers would entertain by reprising comedy routines from the likes of Bob Newhart, Rich Little and Sid Caesar records their father would bring.〔 Jazz artists such as Arvell Shaw, Pee Wee Russell, Eddie Condon, and Billie Holiday were often guests in the home.〔 With the decline of Dixieland jazz circa 1963, Crystal's father lost his business,〔 and died later that year at the age of 54〔 after suffering a heart attack while bowling.〔 His mother, Helen Crystal, died in 2001.〔
After graduation from Long Beach High School in 1965, Crystal attended Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia on a baseball scholarship,〔 having learned the game from his father, who pitched for St. John's University. Crystal never played baseball at Marshall because the program was suspended during his first year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Billy Crystal | Hollywood Walk of Fame )〕 He did not return to Marshall as a sophomore, instead deciding to stay in New York to be close to his future wife. He attended Nassau Community College with Janice, and later transferred to New York University, where he was a film and television directing major. He graduated from NYU in 1970 with a BFA from its School of Fine Arts, not yet named for the Tisch family.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Billy Crystal Biography )〕 One of his instructors was Martin Scorsese while Oliver Stone and Christopher Guest were among his classmates.〔Crystal, in 〕
