Was it a random last name? Am I making up history by thinking she said it was the name of one of her agents?
If you’re going to take a name of a specific ethnicity, you have to have heard of it somewhere and be sure it was Jewish right?
Her taking the name proves one theory I have. No one in flyover country cares, and most people probably don’t even know it’s Jewish. So why did these Jewish actors of yesteryear feel the need to change their names other than to make themselves easier to recognize or pronounce possibly in some cases? Having a Jewish name obviously doesn’t do you harm.
