Paul Bern started his life as Paul Levy in 1889 in Prussia. He and his five siblings lived quite literally like kids in a candy store—because their parents owned one. Life, however, was not at all sweet for the family and, because of prejudice against Jews, Bern’s father took a drastic measure.He packed them all up and looked for somewhere new to l...
In 1908, just ten years after settling in New York City, Bern’s father passed—leaving his wife alone with six children. Somehow the family continued to survive in their still relatively new country. But then Bern faced yet another tragedy. Twelve years after his father passed, his mother had a terrible accident. Although, some say it wasn’t an acci...
This is what we do know: Henriette Levy drowned. What we don't know is why. The easy answer is that it was some sort of accident, but there are darker accounts as well. Some say Bern’s mother purposely drowned herself, and for a startling reason—one that should have messed up Bern’s life forever. Getty Images
Before there was the drowning, there was a problem. Paul Bern had met a woman and, like most young men, wanted to marry her. Bern met Dorothy Millette in 1911, and his mother was strongly against the two love birds tying the knot. Was it because of Millette’s deep emotional and mental problems? Sounds like a good reason to me. Well actually, the re...
It’s pretty clear that Bern’s mother was very close to her son—but how close? Some people believe that Henriette Levy purposefully drowned herself because she couldn’t face the fact that her beloved son Paul wanted to marry. Apparently, Levy couldn’t get her head around the idea that she was losing her best boy to another woman. Ewww, creepy. Levy ...
Bern tried to put the loss of his parents behind him and started studying for a new career. He first tried acting and began studying at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. You’d think that losing both parents probably gave Bern a ton of misery to draw from—especially for those teary-eyed scenes every actor has to play. Sadly, it didn’t quite wor...
By the time Paul Levy changed his name to the Hollywood-friendly Paul Bern, he’d already pretty much given up on acting. Even with all his family misery to draw from, Bern couldn’t squeeze the tears out to make it work as an actor. He did, however, know that he wanted to work in show business. He started as a stage manager and then felt a pull from...
After his mother’s drowning, Bern did—rather callously I’d say—marry Millette. Sadly, Millette’s mental health deteriorated, and she became quite a strain on him financially. Bern had to do something drastic. He wanted to head to Hollywood, but wouldn’t Millette just be some unwanted emotional baggage if he brought her along? Wouldn’t she just ruin...
Bern's wife was a big problem—but no one could say she deserved what he did to her.He arranged to have Millette put in a sanatorium in Connecticut. With her mental issues, maybe it ended up being the right decision, but it's hard to argue Bern did it for her. With Millette locked away, he was free to pursue a new life in Hollywood: a new life as a ...
It was the early 1920s, and young and talented people were arriving by the busload in Hollywood. Bern was just one of thousands—but he had a fire in his belly. He was soon working as a film editor and then moved up to writing and directing films for United Artists and Paramount. Bern was quickly becoming a success, but there was one thing he needed...
