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.

This is a list of Jewish people of all races and colors in Hollywood that I admire. I thought I would make a tribute to them in honor of my Jewish stepmother. For those of you wondering, Jewish is not a race, but it is a ethnic group as well as a religion. This list includes those who are Jewish ethnically, religiously, and simply those who may have had a Jewish ancestor or two. You may not realize this, but a large portion of the people in Hollywood are Jewish. I want to showcase that by including as many celebrities as I can. Unfortunately, that takes time, so this list will be updated quite often.
