He was brilliant in one of my favourite all time films, which I never tire of watching, Some Like It Hot.

RIP

His real name is Bernard Schwartz he changed it to Curtis to make him sound more American. His parents were Hungarian and he only spoke that language till he was 5 or so - apparently.

Kirk Douglas was originally called Issur Danielovitch - his parents were Jewish...

Don't think changing his name stopped him or his kids from being Jewish

Although I believe his children 'married out' of the religion.

Apparently Michael's other half isn't Jewish, and hails from Wales.

Nerys Hughes, Ruth Madoc, Angharad Rees, Windsor Davies?

No, can't remember their name.

Lauren Bacall was born Betty Joan Perske her parents were also Jewish Immigrants according to Wikipedia.

I thought that being Jewish meant you followed the religion? I don't know if Kirk Douglas was a practicing Jew, but you never know.
