Liev Schreiber Early Life and Education
Schreiber was born in San Francisco, California, as the son of painter Heather Milgram and actor/carpenter Tell Schreiber. Although his mother is Jewish, his father is of the Protestant faith. Alex Milgram, his maternal grandpa, left Ukraine and settled in the United States. Milgram, who was the most influential guy in Schreiber’s upbringing, was a cellist who played the cello, possessed etchings by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and earned his money by carrying meat to restaurants. It has been reported by his mother, who is a fan of Russian literature and classical music, that she named Liev after her favorite Russian author, Leo Tolstoy. On the other hand, his father has indicated that Schreiber was named after the physician who was responsible for saving his mother’s life. “Huggy” is the family nickname that Schreiber was given when he was a little child.
Schreiber’s family relocated to Winlaw, an unincorporated rural town in southern British Columbia when he was one year old. According to Schreiber’s father, his mother had a negative encounter with LSD during the beginning of her marriage (in San Francisco), which led to her being hospitalized many times and undergoing therapy over the subsequent four years. The kidnapping of Schreiber by his mother, which ultimately resulted in his mother acquiring full custody of him, occurred after Schreiber’s father made a threat to have Schreiber’s mother committed to a mental facility. New York City’s Lower East Side was the location of their squatting presence.
