We could add another actor, Kevin McCarthy (1914-2010), Jewish mother, brother of novelist Mary McCarthy and distantly related to former U.S. Senator & presidential candidate Eugene McCarthy. The latter not Jewish, though.
Guess that's what made Kevin McCarthy such a natural as a family physician in Invasion of the Body Snatchers, the classic sci-fi movie with the pod people. Also helps explain Mary McCarthy's lifelong feud with Lillian Hellman: all in the family!
Never knew he self-identified. Does he?
