==Early life and education==
Kahn was born Madeline Gail Wolfson on September 29, 1942 in Boston, the daughter of Bernard B. Wolfson, a garment manufacturer, and his wife, Freda (née Goldberg).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Madeline Kahn )〕 She was raised in a non-observant Jewish family. Her parents divorced when Kahn was two, and she and her mother moved to New York City. In 1953, Freda married Hiller Kahn, who later adopted Madeline; she eventually changed her name to Paula Kahn.〔 Kahn had two half-siblings: Jeffrey (from her mother's marriage to Kahn) and Robyn (from Bernard Wolfson's second marriage).〔(Biography ) tvguide.com, accessed February 16, 2015〕
In 1948, Kahn was sent to a progressive boarding school in Pennsylvania. During that time, her mother pursued her acting dream. Kahn soon began acting herself and performed in a number of school productions.〔 In 1960, she graduated from Martin Van Buren High School〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.classmates.com/yearbooks/Martin-Van-Buren-High-School/210?page=60 )〕 in Queens, and then earned a drama scholarship to Hofstra University on Long Island. At Hofstra, she studied drama, music, and speech therapy. Kahn graduated from Hofstra in 1964 with a degree in speech therapy.〔 She was a member of a local sorority on campus, Delta Chi Delta. She later studied singing in New York City with Beverley Peck Johnson.
