Rhodes was raised in [[Stepney]], east London. He says he never knew his father. He was placed in a Jewish orphanage in [[South London]] where he remained until he was 15. His mother worked long hours for Huntsman's tailors in Saville Row making suits for people like [[Cary Grant]] and later [[Hawes & Curtis]] where Rhodes' friend John Pearse who co-owned [[Granny Takes Aa Trip]] was her apprentice.{{Sfn|Gilbert|2005|p=81}}
