George Clooney
Clooney, an Irish American, was born in Lexington, Kentucky. His mother, Nina Bruce (née Warren), was a former pageant queen, while his father, Nick Clooney, was a journalist, anchorman, game show and American Movie Classics host, as well as a politician from the state of Kentucky. Clooney has a sister, Ada, and is the nephew of singer Rosemary Clooney and actor Jose Ferrer, as well as the cousin of their children, among them actors Miguel and Rafael Ferrer. He is also the cousin-in-law of another singer Debby Boone, who married Jose’s son Gabriel Ferrer. From an early age, Clooney would hang around his father’s sets, often participating in shows, where he proved to be a crowd favorite. Clooney briefly attended Ohio’s William Mason High School but graduated from Kentucky’s Augusta High School in 1979. He was a poor student. George did excel in athletics; baseball in particular. He was invited to try out for the Cincinnati Reds in 1977, but was not offered a contract.
He briefly attended Northern Kentucky University from 1979-1981, but did not graduate, earning no more than freshman-level credits. He also very briefly attended the University of Cincinnati, but again did not graduate.
