This Award-winning American comedian had a
childhood that was a mixture of sweet and bitter experiences. Foxx was born on
13th December 1967 as Eric Bishop in Terrell, Texas, a town that had a
population of about fourteen thousand. He was born to a very young couple,
Shaheed Abdulla, and Louise Annette Talley, who soon got overwhelmed by the
demands and responsibility of parenthood due to their extremely young ages.
When Foxx was seven months old, he was adopted by his mother's parents Mr. and
Mrs. Talley. Mrs. Talley had very strong influence on him, and the great entertainer
gives his grandmother credit for inspiring him in life. According to Foxx, in
his interview with Josh Tyrangiel of Time, his grandmother adopted him at 60.
She had a nursery school she was running and maintained a nice library at home.
She saw her grandson's early interest in books and believed he was intelligent
enough to achieve great feats and reach great heights in life. Continue reading:http://pammorris.hubpages.com/hub/Jamie-Foxx-One-of-Americas-Most-Talented-Male-Entertainers-Alive
