Born in Brooklyn, New York City, Lawrence has Jewish roots. His father, Victor, managed his own bakery with his mother, Helen. Lawrence attended Thomas Jefferson High School and later served in the army. During his military service, Lawrence’s singing career began as he became the official vocal soloist of “Pershing’s Own,” a part of The United States Army Band stationed in Washington, D.C.
Following his service, he pursued his passion for music by performing in nightclubs and on television shows. Alongside his wife Eydie, whom he married in 1957, they formed “Steve and Eydie” and achieved chart-topping hits in the late ’50s and early ’60s such as “Pretty Blue Eyes,” “Go Away Little Girl,” “Footsteps,” and “Party Doll.” His singing career significantly contributed to his popularity and wealth.
In addition to his singing career, Lawrence ventured into acting. During the 1960s, he appeared on shows including “The Judy Garland Show,” “The Danny Kaye Show,” “The Julie Andrews Hour,” “The Carol Burnett Show,” and “The Flip Wilson,” predominantly showcasing his singing talent but also portraying roles in “Night Gallery,” “Murder,” “Police Story,” “CSI,” and “Gilmore Girls.” At one point, he hosted his own variety show called “The Steve Lawrence Show.” His acting career also substantially added to his financial success.
Lawrence also appeared on Broadway with his wife in the musical “Golden Rainbow.” Although the production was not a major hit, it produced one of their most memorable songs titled “I’ve Gotta Be Me.”
Subsequently, Lawrence continued to expand his acting career and appeared in movies such as “Stand Up and Be Counted,” “The Blues Brothers,” “Blues Brothers 2000,” “The Lonely Guy,” “The Yards,” and “Alice in Wonderland,” in which he portrayed the role of Tweedledum alongside his wife, who played Tweedledee. As a result, his net worth rose steadily.
