| Kay Medford did both Jackie Hoffman can definitely tone it down and be serious as in the recent FRUMA SARAH play. Randy Graff and Alix Korey(both Jewish) would have been great as Rose Brice and Strakosh in the Ambrose production they were about to start rehearsing when the plug was pulled. Carol Burnett told the producers of the original FG they needed a Jewish girl for the part to make it work. You could substitute NEW YORK for Jewish. as noted Bancroft believably did many times...Anne Meara also, similar to Medford. Beanie is from LA("out of town Jewish" to quote Neil Simon) Jane Lynch is very midwestern but she is sardonic. She's also 6 feet tall. Totally agree about GOLDEN GIRLS...the odds are ALL four of those women in Miami would have been Jewish. Fran Drescher said they wanted to make THE NANNY Italian too. |

| Once saw him at a Lower East Side festival being interviewed, and they asked him about the name "Costanza", and he said something like "Yeah, that name wasn't quite appropriate for the family that was portrayed", especially since he and Alexander are Jewish (and the lady who played the Mom also looked like my Jewish aunt). | |

| On Politically Incorrect in the 1990s, Bill Maher said to Jason Alexander that "your shows must be popular in the Middle East." and Alexander laughed and said, "I doubt a show about the problems of four self-absorbed Jews carries much weight in the Arab world." To be honest, I never thought of it that way. I always thought the show about four self-absorbed New Yorkers... |

| ... the story I've always heard is that the NBC execs asked Larry David & Jerry Seinfeld not to make all of the characters Jewish, so George's last name was changed to Costanza... but they didn't change his character at all. Also, the Festivus "airing of grievances" might be the most Jewish thing ever. :) |

| Why? How many of my Irish aunts moved to Miami or North Miami? How many of my Italian friends? Quite a few! | |
