'Big Bang Theory's' Mayim Bialik: It's Not "Trendy to Be Observant or Religious in..."
The Hollywood Reporter ^ | 08/22/2015 | Natalie Stone

Posted on 08/24/2015 4:20:41 PM PDT by Artemis Webb

Big Bang Theory star Mayim Bialik believes that "it's never going to be trendy to be observant or religious in Hollywood circles."

The Jewish married mother of two told Fox News that she received a lot of negative attention after taking a trip to Israel. "I've gotten a lot of negative attention for visiting Israel," she said about her trip to visit a friend in the Israel Defense Forces. "That's what's amazing...simply by going to Israel this summer and saying nothing more than, 'I've gone to Israel,' I got the same amount of hatred and threats and anti-Semitism for actually making a statement trying to support people whether I like it or not [that are] are serving in an army."

All those except Zucker and Warner Brothers were actors or directors. The ones I mention started studios. (though they may have been performers as well)

By the way, I didn't say there were no Jews, I was disputing the statement, "Even though the entire industry was pretty much created by Jews." Apparently you agree with that statement.

It’s okay to be Jewish as long as you are a liberal, non-observant Jew.

Leslie Howard’s father was Jewish, but not his mother.

Ah, no worries. My post was a little unclear, too.

Almost ALL of the studio heads were Jewish.

Nazimova started her own studio.

Chaplin was only one of many who founded United artists...some of whom were Jews.

I suggest that you read "AN EMPIRE OF THEIR OWN".

And before you attempt to throw in Edison ( a terrible anti-Semite ! ) the post you replied to said HOLLYWOOD, not the earliest movie studios! And Mr. Zuckor began his studio is NYC, but was one of the first to move to California.

Carl Lammele founded Universal and was Jewish. Then there's Sam Goldman and the others who started MGM.

You truly should refrain from posting about things you know extremely little about !

She is an Orthodox Jew. I wonder if “Blossom” votes Republican? Other Orthodox Jews do.

Chaplin was not Jewish. And three of the four who started UA were not Jewish. So basically you believe Hollywood is some giant Jewish conspiracy?

I never claimed that Chaplin was Jewish; so why imply that I did ?

You're just getting weirder and weirder; nick. I do NOT believe that there was once a "JEWISH CONSPIRACY", re Hollywood and have NEVER stated such a thing. OTOH, you just brought it up, so I guess you might.

As a matter of fact most of the studio heads of yore were REPUBLICANS ( the Warner boys became GOPers during FDR's terms), were VERY pro-American, patriotic, and thanks to most, developed the whole "AMERICAN DREAM" thing and how we see/think of America, when it was still great.

Add Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball to you list. They started Desilu studios.

Welcome to the Tribe, Mayim!

Be proud! Be strong! Don’t let the Hollywood Marxists and radical chic liberals grind you down.

You are a daughter of Sara, Rachel and Esther. Your attackers are sons and daughters of Hagar.
