Mickey Katz (June 15, 1909 – April 30, 1985) was an American comedian and musician who specialized in Jewish humor. He was the father of actor Joel Grey and grandfather of actress Jennifer Grey. ==Early life== Katz was born Meyer Myron Katz on Sawtell Court in Cleveland, Ohio, the son of Johanna (née Herzberg) and Menachem Katz. Originally one of five children, Mickey lost an older sister to diphtheria when he was about four years old.〔 Menachem supported the family as a tailor, but money was always tight in the Katz family. As children Mickey and his siblings contributed to the family finances by entering amateur musical contests in the neighborhood theaters and bringing the prize money home to their parents.〔Katz, Mickey; Coons, Hannibal; Grey, Joel.
