Born in Worcester, Massachusetts, the son of Benjamin Rabinovitch (a Jewish immigrant from Russia) and Rebecca Baum (a Jewish immigrant from Poland).

He became a crime reporter in New York City at age 17, working for the New York Evening Graphic. His biggest scoop came when he broke the story of the death of Jeanne Eagels. He wrote pulp novels and screenplays from the mid-30s onwards.
