Announcing Our Error:
The Jew Watch Project has removed the actor, Telly Savalas, from this list. We have ascertained from a tip from a reader which started us to delve into further research on the matter, and we have determined that Telly Savalas who is deceased was not Jewish either by religion or birth. He was born and raised Greek Orthodox. The Jew Watch Project apologizes to our readers. Our error was unintentional. If you have used this information on a website using the Project as the source, please be advised to remove it, as it is not correct. Many thanks to our reader for the heads up on this. -- Frank Weltner, Librarian, The Jew Watch Project...
Michael Richards was removed from this list. Although he acts in Seinfeld which is considered by most to be about Jews, the Project's research has determined that Michael Richards himself is not Jewish in any way. Unless otherwise informed in precise and believable detail, Mr. Richards' name which appeared here for a brief time based on an Internet news story which has dropped off the Web is hereby permanently removed from this list. -- Frank Weltner, Librarian, The Jew Watch Project...

Jeez, guys, can't you at least google the names of purported Jews on your list? Liza Minelli is not Jewish. Neither Judy Garland nor Vincent Minelli, her parents, were. She declares herself as episcopelian. Her half-sister, Lorna Luft, is half-Jewish. This is just one name that caught my eye. It's better to omit some Jews than to claim the ones that are not and fall on your face in a vicarious pride zeal to boast that almost everybody of note is Jewish.
Joe Cocker was not Jewish.
He was from Sheffield, England.
He was not Isreali or German.
He was a Yorkshire man.
WHERE do you get your information from?????
David Janssen was not Jewish, not "half Jewish" and not any kind of Jewish at all. His father Harold Meyer was a Lutheran of German ancestry. His stepfather was Jewish, but David had ZERO Jewish ancestries and never converted. Janssen did in his lifetime bizarrely, and falsely, claim that he was "half Jewish." Perhaps this was in solidarity with his half-sisters who did have a Jewish father or maybe he thought claiming this would help him in show business. To cloud things further, Janssen's funeral was non-denominational but held in a Jewish space at the cemetery. You have a lot of errors on this page by the way. It's almost comical.
And it's "Lee J. Cobb" (get it? "J. Cobb....Jacob) not "Lee Cobb" nobody would know who the hell you're talking about when you wrote it wrong.
Jon Cryer is NOT Jewish or of Jewish ancestry at all! Where are you coming up with this stuff?
