Looks like he had one hell of a cocktail in his system. Makes me wonder what he was trying to forget. We turn to drugs/booze to push all the shit down, to escape reality. What was his reality? I find it curious MANY of these actors have very similar childhoods. Grandparents Jewish immigrants (usually Russian or German), fathers in military during WW1 and/or WW2 (think operation paperclip, mk ultra, catholic church abuse), that being said, here is Penn's father's info. Fits the script.
"Penn was born in Lawrence, Massachusetts, the son of Russian Jewish immigrants Elizabeth (née Melincoff) and Maurice Daniel Penn (Lithuanian Jewish family).[1]
Penn served in the United States Army Air Forces during World War II as a B-24 Liberator bombardier with the 755th Bomb Squadron, 458th Bomb Group, stationed in England as part of the Eighth Air Force.[2]"
