August 3, 2014 1:59 pm at 1:59 pm #1027166oomisParticipantWe don’t respond with names of Gedolim, because we KNOW they are Jewish. The OP was referring to people who are “celebrities” whom we might not have known are/were Jews. Personally, I believe that even in the cases of those who were halachically non-Jews, that the pintele Yid that came somewhere from their ancestry, is what gave them an edge and talent for becoming famous.
