Is she part Jewish?
She’s joked that in Hollywood you just tell people that you’re half Jewish. At one point she was learning Hebrew for her boyfriend. That being said, I don’t think she has any Jewish heritage, at least nothing that could be found in the paper trail.
I’m pretty positive.
her p. grandmothers parents surnames, ‘Raslavsky’ and ‘Snyder’ are widely listed as stereotypically Jewish, not Slovakian. Theres a chance they were ethnic Slovaks, but theres a far higher chance they were Eastern European Jews.
Additionally, their grave(s) have no religious affiliation, which would be very uncommon if they were catholics (as most Slovaks are), but very common if they were indeed Jews.
all to say, this listing is incorrect. it should be listed as: “1/4th Ashkenazi Jewish or Slovak” not “1/8th Slovak”
I instantly knew she had Italian ancestry from this picture
