Cooper Jack Rubin

Cooper has always loved a dramatic entrance, starting with his premature birth three months ahead of schedule. Though he was just the size of a soda can, Cooper's parents knew that their tiny, two-pound miracle was destined for something big. At the age of three, when most children were enthralled by Elmo, Cooper developed an obsession with "The Phantom of the Opera," followed by an equally deep affinity for "The Wizard of Oz" and the talents of Judy Garland.
