The youngest of six sons born to Edward Carney, a publicist and reporter, and Helen (née Farrell) Carney, a concert violinist, Art Carney grew up in Mount Vernon, New York. As a child, he entertained family and friends with impressions that ranged from Franklin D. Roosevelt to Edward G. Robinson. He began his professional performing career doing impressions with the Horace Heidt Orchestra. He worked as an announcer for Heidt’s radio quiz show Pot o’ Gold and had a small part in the 1941 film of the same name that featured the orchestra along with James Stewart and Paulette Goddard. Carney also tried his hand at stand-up comedy, and he employed his gift for mimicry to imitate world leaders such as Roosevelt and Winston Churchill on a radio program called Report to the Nation. After entering the army in 1943, he was wounded during the Normandy Invasion on D-Day (June 6, 1944) and thereafter walked with a limp. Following his military service, he returned to performing on radio and then expanded into television work.
