| description | Viacom Inc. Chairman Sumner Redstone was born poor in 1923 in Boston, Massachusetts. Redstone attended the Boston Latin School, the oldest and possibly toughest public school in the country, where he headed the school debating team and won all the academic prizes for his class. He entered Harvard at 17 with the class of 1944, but finished in just 2 1/2 years, after becoming fluent in Japanese and proficient in Latin, French, and German. Redstone was then selected to join an elite Army code-cracking team during World War II. After the war, he entered Harvard Law School. In 1947, he graduated and married Phyllis Raphael. In 1951, at the age of 28, he became a partner in the Washington, DC, law firm of Ford, Bergson, Adams, Borkland, and Redstone. In 1954, Redstone, who was tired of being a lawyer, joined the family's chain of 12 drive-ins in the Northeast. In 1987, Redstone purchased Viacom and became a national figure. |
