More Jewish Stars Over Hollywood

There are hundreds of other Jews in Hollywood "stardom" - far too
numerous to list them all here. However the following are Jews whom many
think are Gentiles: Ed Asner, Bea Arthur, Gene Barry, Richard Benjamin,
Kevin Costner, Lee J. Cobb, Joan Collins, Richard Dreyfuss, Ted Danson,
Peter Falk (Columbo), Eddie Fisher, Harrison Ford, Richard Gere, Betty
Grable, Sharon Gless, Steven Seagal, Dustin Hoffman, Monty Hall, Amy
Irving, Jack Klugman, Leonard Nimoy, Ken Olin, Ron Perlman, George
Segel, William Shatner, Peter Strauss, Rod Steiger, Jane Seymour,
Barbara Walters, Debra Winger, and Bruce Willis.

The following are half-Jewish: Joan Collins, Goldie Hawn, Paul Newman,
Robert DeNiro, Howard Stern and Geraldo Rivera.

Jews in the music field include: Billy Joel, Barry Manilow, Tony Martin,
Bette Midler, Barbara Streisand and Ringo Starr.

Here are but a few in the field of "comedy" which is 90% Jewish
dominated! Roseanne Barr, David Brenner, Sid Caesar, Richard Dawson, Don
Adams, Norm Crosby, George Jessel, Alan King, Carl Reiner, Don Rickles,
Martha Reye, Garry Shandling, Henry Winkler and David Letterman.

Singer Paula Abdul has claimed to be Spanish, Puerto Rican and Lebanese.
However, the Montreal Gazette, May 8, 1992 states that she is Jewish and
her real name is Paula Rykiss from Winnipeg.

This is my favorite. Ringo STARR?!?! Richard Starkey?!? Just because he

Wow. Now the trashies have discovered that there are Jews in show business.
Next thing you know, they will discover that there are Episcopalians in
banking, Baptists in the car business, and Lutherans in agriculture.

Well, this is an interesting and informative post. Well, sort of informative,
seeing as how some of the information on this list is wrong. I'd like to know
what sources you quote from (Sandra Bullock? David Letterman? Ringo Starr?!).
Still, if some of the information is true, it's fascinating to know. Let's see
what corrections I can make...

David Letterman?! Get real!! The man is plain old Hoosier, WASP through and
through.

90%, though, huh? Want to show the statistics that led to that exact
calculation?

I don't believe that, but I don't care. She's fabulous. I could watch Paula
Abdul videos for hours.

Well, thank you for this list, anyway. How much richer and how much more vibrant
our lives are, thanks to Jews! We really have to be grateful to Jews for all
their contributions to our daily lives. I'm glad you think so too!

All I hear you anti-Semites say is that we control Hollywood, the
government, the economy, in short, the world.
then explain your superiority to me... and how will you survive without
us...
In every single posting I read, we always have the last word. aren't you
embarrassed to keep on posting?
Oh gentiles, when will you get over the fact that we are the chosen people?
When will you realize the richness Judaism has brought to western
civilization?
And please decide, are we responsible for communism or capitalism?
I never used to feel superior for being Jewish, but after reading all the
shit you Nazis post, I am starting to believe I am better
You convinced me. Job well done!!!!

Starr is a mistake.

Letterman is also not a Jew, but a presbyterian:

Sandra Bullock is half-Jewish:

Buchinsky/Buchinski is a purely Jewish surname. Search the Internet.

Correct. He was called "Archibald", not Larry. He was the son of a cloth
merchant in England.

I can't decide on this one either.

Newman is apparently half-jewish:

She's a "black jew":
http://www.afreeman.com/blackjews.html

Let's add to the list:

Adam Sandler (actor) (ugh!)
Ben Stiller (actor)
Lenny Kravitz (singer - half Jew/half black)
Whoopi Goldberg (singer - half Jew/half black)

.any more?

Hmmm. Nothing on this site says she is Jewish (or not). Still, it would be cool if
she was. She's too danged cute and adorable, a lot more so than that Julia Roberts
tramp. ;D

At least his dad was. I don't know that he was raised Jewish, but my guess is that

And Mazel Tov again! I wonder if she is at all observant? Or raised in the faith?
More reason to watch Paula Abdul videos!

I agree with that assessment.

Comedienne, not singer. I don't think she is Jewish though; Goldberg is just a
stage name. Her real name was (IIRC) Caryn Johnston.

> .any more?

Whatsisname who played Ashley Wilkes in Gone with the Wind.(Leslie Howard?)

Still, like I said--what a marvelous contribution Jews have made to entertainment!
They've given so much to us. (And how lucky is Waukegan, Illinois--it gave birth to
Jack Benny and Ray Bradbury. Two geniuses, one town.) We have a lot to be grateful
for concerning Jews!

Really. A world without _Young Frankenstein_ or _To Be or not To
Be_. A world without the violin of Issac Stern, without the
writting of Issac Beshevis Singer. This is the sort of world this
white-bread fool wants.

Unbelievable!

I see no evidence that Roberts is a tramp. Bullock's mother has a
possibly Jewish name (Meyer), as does her sister - other than that I
can't see any evidence either....

His real name is Walter Bruce Willison. I can't find any evidence that
he is Jewish on the internet. The original list I posted was someone
else's. However, he *has* called his daughter "Tallulah" ...

Gee, a lot of Jews in show business.  Something for all of us to be proud respectful of.  Jews created Hollywood. Say thank you.  Jews started vaudeville and were influential in it's development into Musical Theatre.  Say thank you again.  Yes many Jews can be found in the entertainment industry.  So what?

By the way, Beck Hansen is actually Jewish. Many jewish surnames became anglicized once in North America.  Buchinsky is not strictly a jewish name.

Yet Rosenberg is certainly considered a "Jewish" name.

No, I have seen him playing Catholics with intensity. See The Bad Lieutenant. Or better
yet, don't, since it's a overhyped, overrated, depressing movie with no point and an
even worse resolution.

Well, entertainment has been a good field for Jews, because of their hard work ethic,
because many avenues of livelihood were closed to them by prejudice, because there is an
inherent wryness in the tradition and culture, and because as a culture they celebrate
life with gusto. Comedy comes easily to those who live with tragedy. (As opposed to the
post-modern irony-drenched sarcasm that passes as comedy anymore, of which I am guilty
of perpetrating too.)

Same with him.

The first three of course, but I think Jason Alexander is a WASP too. Not certain.

Uhhh....could you have made the list a little LONGER?! ;D

Seriously, you've got a big mix of WASPS, Catholics, Jews, and Arabs in there. The name
that caught my eye was Omar Sharif, with his last name being Shalhoub--I wonder if he is
related to the vastly underrated actor Tony Shalhoub, who exuded perfect power and
sinistry in Gattaca. (And was also in Men In Black.)

I'll get back to you on the rest of this list when I have recovered from this post. ;D

He is, of course, celebrating the contribution of Jews to American culture and
expressing his gratitude for the countless ways in which Jews have enriched all
our lives.

To say 'all our lives' is a slight exaggeration. Jews have not enriched the
lives of at least the following:

Scot Bradbury
David Michael
Don Ellis
David Irving
James Monroe Gumm
And those who hide behind their anonymity

You know, just a little while ago I heard the whistle of awe sweep
across this country from sea to shining sea, and I didn't know what
was going on. Now I know: it was reaction of Curdles' stunning
pronouncement.

See what you miss when you killfile Curdles?

Interesting. I understand that, according to jewish law, one is not
considered jewish unless the mother is jewish, because who knows who or what
the father is ???
