Guy Endore was born Samuel Goldstein in New York City. His father was a coal miner, inventor, and investor from Pittsburgh who often had difficulty making ends meet. His mother committed suicide when he was four, and after her death his father changed the family's names and placed the children in a Methodist orphanage. When his father made some money with one of his inventions, he sent the children to Vienna, where they lived for five years under the care of a Catholic governess. Then his father disappeared, the money ran out, and he returned to Pittsburgh. He went to Columbia University
