A lot of websites claim her father is Jewish, but I've never heard anything more than internet chatter on the subject. Does anyone know whether there's truth to this?

Anything is possible I suppose, but if this woman is Jewish, I'll eat my hat.
There's a reason why when she was starting out in commercials the Hellmann's corporation chose her as their spokesperson for mayonnaise!
And at any rate, having a Jewish father doesn't make you Jewish. You need a Jewish mother for you to be Jewish yourself. Jason Schwartzman, for example, is not Jewish. Harrison Ford, however, is. -

Yeah but being Jewish isn't just about the religion, it has a lot of ethnic ties as well. Even if the faith rejects the person based on which parent is Jewish, based on Halakah, the genetics are there. Interestingly enough though Reform Judaism counts a person as Jewish as long as one parent is Jewish, not just the mom.

Why wouldn't the Jewish American Princess wear a colostomy bag? Because she couldn't find a matching handbag and shoes.
Hey Don, I seem to recall you messaging me a while back, which I don't recall responding to, and I apologize for that. If that rings a bell, please send me a private message.
