Mostel was born in Brooklyn, to Israel Mostel, who was of Eastern European Jewish origin, and Cina "Celia" Druchs, a Polish Jew who was raised in Vienna.
The two immigrated to the United States separately – Israel in 1898 and Cina in 1908 – where they met and married. Israel already had four children from his first wife; he had four more children with Cina.
Samuel, later known as Zero, was Israel's seventh child.
According to his brother, Bill Mostel, their mother coined the nickname "Zero", noting that if he continued to do poorly at school, he would amount to a zero.

Desperado, a great Eagles song, was covered by Linda Ronstadt who was at one time associated with the Eagles. It was one of the Eagles best songs, but I've always believed it was best sung by a woman -- particularly one with a voice as great as Linda's. BTW, she is now old enough to be posting to this group, but sadly has been stricken by a neurological disorder which has ruined her voice. )-8
