Michael Medved was born on October 3, 1948 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to parents Renate (nee Hirsch) and David Bernard Medved. His father was a Navy veteran and scientist. Raised in a Jewish home, his family's origin is German and Ukrainian. Medved was raised in San Diego, California, where his father worked as a defense contractor for Convair and NASA.
