Settling the Score: Winona Ryder



We didn't realize this, so thanks to Mark from Hartford for pointing out that Winona Ryder is only half-Jewish (see here, among other places). She self-identifies as Jewish, so we'll keep her verdict as is, but the birth history will dock her an I point...

Thanks, Mike!

  2. Oh, and Sergei Eisenstein is only quarter (paternal grandfather, who was an Orthodox convert).

  3. Wikipedia's article on Rachel Weisz makes it clear she is at least 3/4 Jewish. Looks like the mystery is clearing up.
