We know we always scoff at movie versions of our favorite books, but we’re definitely looking forward to the adaptation of Herman Wouk’s Marjorie Morningstar, a timeless comng-of-age novel about a Jewish girl who hits it big in Hollywood. Of couse, it’s already been done; back in 1958 Natalie Wood starred in a humdrum, ethnically-downplayed production, but this time they’re actually using a Jewish actress: double Golden Globe nominee Scarlett Johansson. (Don’t let the Danish moniker fool you, this brainy babe is Jewish on her mom’s side.)
Yo, Yenta!
From the edge of the Diaspora rises a new generation of Jewish mother
Never would’ve thought she MOT in a million years
One of the hottest MOT’s (Actresses) I have ever seen! Wow!!!!!!!
The danish Johan is from the Hebrew Yohanan, so maybe not so hard to believe as say the first name scarlet.
