Bethenny Frankel Early Life
Frankel entered this world on November 4, 1970, in New York City. Her father, Robert J. Frankel, was a horse trainer, while her mom, Bernadette Birk, worked in the design industry. At the age of four, Frankel’s father abandoned the family, and when she was five, her mother remarried John Parisella, a horse trainer.
Frankel had a tumultuous upbringing, one that included frequent relocations and school changes before she finally settled into boarding school.
She completed her high school education at Pine Crest in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, went on to spend two years at Boston University, and finally earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in psychology and communications from New York University.
Bethenny Frankel Career Beginnings
Frankel relocated to Los Angeles in 1992 in pursuit of her acting career. Her first company, In Any Event, was a short-lived event-organizing business that she launched with the help of the connections she made while working in modest acting roles and positions like the nanny to Paris Hilton and personal assistant to Jerry and Linda Bruckheimer.
