with Fitzpatrick: --David Gregory --Stephanie Gregory Mitchell
Biographyedit
Gregory was born Donald Ginsberg to a Jewish family in the Bronx on December 3, 1934, the son of Dorothy (née Sheffrin) and Morris Ginsberg.[1] When he was four years old, his father died and his mother remarried and moved the family to Norwich, Connecticut.[1] He attended the University of Connecticut but left before graduating and moved to California to become an actor.[1] He changed his name so it sounded less "ethnic."[1] In the 1950s, he joined the U.S. Army and after he completed his service, he moved back to New York City where he worked as a talent agent.[1]
Gregory was married twice. His first wife was Carolyn Fitzpatrick,[1] an IrishCatholic.[3] They had two children: television journalist David Gregory and Stephanie Gregory Mitchell; they later divorced and she remarried (now Carolyn Surtees).[1] In 1981, he remarried to Kaye Romine.[1] He died of at stroke at his home in Boca Raton, Florida on November 5, 2015.[1]
