Edward Goldenberg Robinson (born Emanuel Goldenberg, (イディッシュ語:עמנואל גאָלדנבערג); December 12, 1893January 26, 1973) was a Romanian American actor.〔Obituary ''Variety'', January 31, 1973, p. 71.〕 A popular star during Hollywood's Golden Age, he is best remembered for his roles as a gangster, such as Rico in his star-making film ''Little Caesar'', and as Rocco in ''Key Largo''. Other memorable roles include insurance investigator Barton Keyes in the film noir ''Double Indemnity'', Dathan (adversary of Moses) in ''The Ten Commandments'', and his final performance as Sol Roth in the science-fiction story ''Soylent Green''.〔 Robinson was selected for an Honorary Academy Award for his work in the film industry, which was posthumously awarded two months after the actor's death in 1973. He was included at #24 in the American Film Institute's list of the 25 greatest male stars of Classic American cinema. ==Early years and education== Robinson was born as Emanuel Goldenberg to a Yiddish-speaking Romanian Jewish family in Bucharest, the son of Sarah (née Guttman) and Morris Goldenberg, a builder. After one of his brothers was attacked by an antisemitic mob, the family decided to emigrate to the United States. Robinson arrived in New York City on February 14, 1903. He grew up on the Lower East Side, had his Bar Mitzvah at First Roumanian-American Congregation,〔Epstein (2007), p. 249〕 and attended Townsend Harris High School and then the City College of New York. An interest in acting led to him winning an American Academy of Dramatic Arts scholarship, after which he changed his name to ''Edward G. Robinson'' (the G. standing for his original surname). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Edward G. Robinson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
