Kehidupan awal
Jack Palance was born Volodymyr Palahniuk in Lattimer Mines, Pennsylvania, the son of Anna (nÃÆ'Â © e Gramiak) and Ivan Palahniuk, the anthracite coal miner. His parents are Ukrainian immigrants, his native father of Ivane Zolote in the southwest of Ukraine (modern Ternopil Oblast) and his mother from Lviv Oblast, an ethnic Pole. One out of six children, he worked in coal mines during his youth before becoming a professional boxer in the late 1930s.
Struggling under the name of Jack Brazzo, Palance reportedly set a record of 15 successive wins with 12 knockouts before losing a close decision for aspiring heavyweight champion Joe Baksi in a Pier-6 fight. Years later he recounts: "Then, I think, you must be crazy to get your head beating for $ 200."
World War II
With the outbreak of World War II, Palance's athletic career ended, and his military career began as a member of the United States Army Air Force. The face of Palance, who took a lot of beatings in the boxing ring, was said to have been damaged while saving the burning B-24 Liberator bomber during a training flight over Southern Arizona (where Palance was a student pilot). His distinctive cheekbones and deep eyes are referred to as the result of reconstructive surgery.
The story behind Palance's face was repeated many times (including in the respected movie reference works), but after his death, some obituaries of Palance quoted him saying that the whole story had been contrived: "The press agency of the Studio makes whatever they want, and the reporter One flack creates a legend that I've blown up in an air crash during the war, and my face should be reunited with plastic surgery.If it's a 'bionic face', why do not they do a better job? "
Palance was honorably discharged from the United States Air Force Air Force in 1944.
