==Early life==
Mortimer Lieberman (Lee Mortimer) was the eldest son of Nathan and Rose Lieberman, first generation immigrants to the United States. Nathan Lieberman was born October 12, 1873 in Ukraine and emigrated in 1890,〔1920 US Census: Chicago Ward 25, Cook (Chicago), Illinois; Roll: T625_342; Page: 11A; Enumeration District: 1451; Image: 333〕 taking employment with Sears, Roebuck & Company, and later, Montgomery Ward, selling clothing. In 1918, Nathan Lieberman was employed by Kahn Tailoring Company in Chicago.〔US WWI Selective Service Registration Card, 1918〕 His wife, Rose, was born in Sweden in 1885, and immigrated to the United States in 1899. The couple had one other child, Robert Lieberman, born in Chicago in 1914, who was a promotions agent for The Chicago Tribune - New York News Syndicate.〔Nathan Lieberman Obituary, New York Times, January 21, 1955〕 Nathan Lieberman brought his family to New York in the early 1920s, and founded a clothing firm originally known as Mencher Brothers & Lieberman, a manufacturer of boys' and student's clothing later called Quickturns Company. Nathan Lieberman was actively involved in the operation, serving as general manager of the firm at the time of his death in 1955, at the age of 82.
Mortimer Lieberman attended Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, then moved to New York City, going to work as an editor for ''Amusements Magazine'' under Donald Flamm and adopting the pen name Lee Mortimer. Broadway columnist Walter Winchell, in a March 12, 1931 column, called out Mortimer for having reported that Winchell was changing newspapers, reporting that Mortimer, "an up and coming youngster now editing Amusements for Donald Flamm, goes a little gay with facts too, however, when he reports that I am shifting rags." 〔Wisconsin State Journal, 3-12-1931, page 3〕
