 | | Gouldâs parents had emigrated from Eastern Europe and settled in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn, NY, where Gould was born Elliot Goldstein on Aug. 29, 1938. |
 | | Gould finished school in 1955 and two years, at age 18, made it to Broadway with a stage debut in the musical âRumple.â By 1962, he was the star of another Broadway musical, âI Can Get It for You Wholesale.â The project helped vault Gouldâs co-star, actress-singer Barbara Streisand, into the mainstream. |
 | | Gould was a rising star, taking the lead onstage that year in âOn the Townâ in London, but as the decade progressed, he struggled to get even small onscreen parts within long, lean periods. |
