Hollywood: The Jewish Haven
 6.9 Her father, Joseph Cates, was a Russian Jewish director and producer. Her maternal grandfather was Chinese-Filipino. Her husband, Kevin Kline, is also Jewish.
    
7.7 Olivia's paternal great-great-great-great grandfather, Ralph Bernal, was a British politician and art collector. He was a Sephardi Jew of Portuguese and Spanish origins. Bernal is obviously related to Olivia's father, Andrew Myles Cockburn, who was born in England but raised in Ireland.
So, Olivia may hardly be Jewish, but it is fascinating to know that her great-great-great-great grandfather was Jewish and also a British Whig.      
8.2 Marilyn Monroe converted to Judaism after marrying her Jewish husband Arthur Miller.
   
8.2 In her autobiography, she initially states that she is of Romanian, German, and Russian descent. If you read further, she begins discussing Judaism in a religious context, so it is safe to assume that her ancestors who immigrated from Romania, Germany, and Russia were Jewish.
     
7.9 Her maternal ancestors were Jewish people who immigrated from Poland and Russia to the United States. Her father, on the other hand, is of Danish descent.

   She is probably the most famous Jewish actress in the world. 
8.3 Bar was born in Hod HaSharon, Israel to Rafael Refaeli and Tzipi Levine. Both of her parents are Jewish. Her ancestors immigrated from Italy, Poland, and Lithuania to Israel during the conclusion of World War II.
        
8.3 Both of her parents are Jewish, and she even attended a conservative Jewish school for her studies. She is now dating Leonardo Dicaprio.

I may remove Madonna and Demi Moore because I am unsure about whether or not they actually converted to Judaism in some of the contexts about them.
It seems Embeth Davidtz is a South African and is not Jewish, although Julian Morris is a South African as well and is also Jewish.
I will remove Charlie Chaplin since him being Jewish is just a rumor.
