Jimmy Dunne Wiki: Age, Birthday, Parents
James J. Dunne III was born to his parents on 9th October 1957 in the Long Island village of Babylon and is 62 years old now.
He was the only son in a house filled with four sisters, raised by his mother Ann and his father James Joseph Dunne. Jimmy’s father, James was an executive with Arrow Shirt Company. From the get-go, Jimmy knew the value of money and the independence it would bring.
Talking about how he was raised, Jimmy once said in an interview,
My parents instilled an attitude if you wanted to get something done, you had to go out and get it. Nothing would be given to you. My mother developed an underdog mentality in me. Sort of the opposite of today where you are the greatest star in the sky. Her attitude was ‘Jimmy, all these guys are tough, people are smarter, people are faster, you gotta go. You got to get up and go get it.’ It worked for me. It doesn’t work for everyone.”
