It's amazing how many sites still say she is Jewish simply based on that statement to Tom Cruise (probably because "she is hot"). I always wondered myself about that since the only evidence I ever found was what she said to Tom Cruise. Thanks for straightening that out and confirming my suspicions (she's still hot though....)
I'd be curious to see Charlie Sheen as a "See also." They are at least two celebrities who have claimed Jewish descent in recent times to make things easier on them. Think what kind of a reversal that is from the pattern our grandparents knew. I wonder, are there others who've falsely claimed Jewish descent on your lists?
I don't think Keri Russell was falsely claiming Jewish ancestry. I just think she was using a figure of speech that appeared to be a factual statement in the quote. A strange figure of speech, but nonetheless.
However, please, Keri, you curly-haired g-ddess, please claim as much Jewish ancestry as you feel you need to! And then a conversion to Judaism would be wonderful finishing touch.
You Jews are fucking funny! I mean it... As for Tom Cruise... well, he's just fucking Crazy! I'm Catholic and I'm ashamed of the fact that Tom was born Catholic... but thank G_D he is no longer one of us! I wouldn't wish him upon any religion!

ReplyDeleteFrida Kahlo is a famous one: http://www.jewornotjew.com/profile.jsp?ID=160
ReplyDeleteBut in Keri's case, I think she was joking, not claiming...
And, of course, we just profiled Freddie Prinze, Jr, whose father (who will get his own profile soon enough) was making it up.
