The Challenging Childhood of David Seidler: Growing up Jewish in WWII London and Overcoming Stuttering

Not an easy childhood

David Seidler was born in the summer of 1937 London, he was an only child and his family was middle class in Britain at the time. They were Of Jewish origin. At the beginning of the Second World War he moved with his parents to Lingfield near Surrey, and later they moved there New York. Seidler began to stutter at that time, which is why he received speech therapy treatment in the 1940s. The stuttering only stopped again when I was a teenager.

In New York, Seidler went with the now famous film director Francis Ford Coppola (84) to school. He later moved to college at Cornell University. He wrote his first screenplays in the 1960s, for example, he wrote a few episodes for the series “The Adventures of Seaspray”.
