Early life
Pinsky was born September 4, 1958 in Pasadena, California, to Helene Stanton (née Eleanor Mae Stansbury; 1925–2017), a singer and actress who played a supporting part in the 1955 film The Big Combo, and Morton Pinsky (1926–2009), a physician whose parents immigrated to the United States from Ukraine. Pinsky's father was Jewish, while he described his mother as coming from a "highly Victorian upper-middle-class family in Philadelphia." He then attended the University of Southern California's Keck School of Medicine, graduating in 1984 with a Doctor of Medicine degree. He served his residency in internal medicine at USC County Hospital and became chief resident at Huntington Memorial Hospital in Pasadena, and later moved into private practice.
