Eric Braeden is best known for his work on soap operas like The Young and the Restless, <\/em>but his life is filled with remarkable circumstances that predate his 40-year run as Victor Newman. Long before he had any prospects in the entertainment industry, Braeden was born into the chaos of World War II to German parents before being one of the fortunate survivors of the largest shipwreck ever recorded. <\/p>\n

Before Victor Newman, before Eric Braeden, there was Hans-J\u00f6rg Gudegast. That is Braeden’s given name when he was born in 1941 in the northern German city of Bredenbek, where his dad was once the mayor. <\/p>\n
