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.

Marilyn Monroe converted to Judaism after marrying her Jewish husband Arthur Miller.





Elizabeth Taylor was a convert to Judaism as well.







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.









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.









Her father, Bruce Paltrow, is a Jewish director and producer. Her mother, Blythe Danner, is a Quaker.







After World War II, her paternal ancestors immigrated from Poland and Romania to Israel. Her maternal ancestors immigrated from Russia and Austria to the United States. Both of her parents are, in fact, Jewish, and she has dual Israeli and American citizenship.







She is probably the most famous Jewish actress in the world.

Many people may be unaware of this, but David Beckham is, in fact, Jewish. He is not a convert either.

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.
