George Raft
George Raft (born George Ranft; September 26, 1901 – November 24, 1980) was an American film actor and dancer identified with portrayals of gangsters in crime melodramas of the 1930s and 1940s. A stylish leading man in dozens of movies, today Raft is mostly known for his gangster roles in the original ''Scarface'' (1932), ''Each Dawn I Die'' (1939), and Billy Wilder's 1959 comedy ''Some Like it Hot'', as a dancer in ''Bolero'' (1934), and a truck driver in ''They Drive by Night'' (1940).〔
==Early life==
George Ranft was born in Hell's Kitchen, New York City to a Catholic family of German descent,〔(brief bio of George Raft and book ''George Raft'' for sale at amazon.com )〕 the son of Eva (née Glockner) and Conrad Ranft. His father was born in Massachusetts to German immigrant parents, and his mother was a German immigrant.〔 His parents were married on November 17, 1895, in Manhattan. His elder sister, Eva, known as "Katie", was born on April 18, 1896.
Although Raft's birth year in obituaries has been reported as 1895, he is recorded in the New York City Birth Index as having been born on September 26, 1901 in Manhattan as "George Rauft" (although "Rauft" is likely a mistranscription of "Ranft");〔(George Raft birth data ), italiangen.org; accessed August 15, 2015.〕 the 1900 Census for New York City lists his elder sister, Katie, as his parents' only child, with two children born and only one living.〔United States Census 1900; Census Place: Manhattan, New York, New York; Roll: T623_1109; Page: 4B; Enumeration District: 642.〕 On the 1910 Census, he is listed as being eight years old, and his birth record can be found in the New York City birth index as being 1901.〔〔via ''Associated Press'', ("'Tough guy' George raft dies of emphysema at 85" ), ''The Milwaukee Sentinel'', November 25, 1980; accessed August 10, 2009. "After growing up in New York's tough Hell's Kitchen area, Raft was a boxer, electrician and baseball player before landing a job as a dancer in nightclubs in the 1920s."〕 A boyhood friend of gangsters Owney Madden and Bugsy Siegel (and later a "wheel man" for the mob), Raft acknowledged having narrowly avoided a life of crime.〔Beaver, Jim.
