How Rachel Weisz wrecked her Hollywood prospects

Too candid for Hollywood?

I know from the comment threads that Occidental Observer readers are very fond of the great Joel Stein piece How Jewish is Hollywood? Los Angeles Times December 19 2008:

I have never been so upset by a poll in my life. Only 22% of Americans now believe “the movie and television industries are pretty much run by Jews,” down from nearly 50% in 1964. The Anti-Defamation League, which released the poll results last month, sees in these numbers a victory against stereotyping. Actually, it just shows how dumb America has gotten. Jews totally run Hollywood.

Stein famously continued:

The Jews are so dominant, I had to scour the trades to come up with six Gentiles in high positions at entertainment companies. When I called them to talk about their incredible advancement, five of them refused to talk to me, apparently out of fear of insulting Jews. The sixth, AMC President Charlie Collier, turned out to be Jewish.

Interestingly, this essay does not appear on Stein’s Website, nor does it feature in his Wikipedia entry. And Joel Stein, apparently, no longer has a column at the Los Angeles Times.

This may explain a lot about the career of Rachel Weisz. Yet another example of a child of European Jewish immigrants being translated straight to the sunlit upper slopes of the U.K educational system, British-born Cambridge-educated Weisz gave a suicidal interview to Index Magazine in 2001 Rachel Weisz with Emma Forrest (perhaps talking to another British Jewess made her careless):

Hollywood’s run by Jews. I was advised by an American agent when I was about 19 to change my surname. And I said “Why? Jews run Hollywood.” He said “Exactly.” He had a theory that all the executives think acting’s a job for shiksas…. In some way acting is prostitution, and Hollywood Jews don’t want their own women to participate. Also, there’s an element of Portnoy’s Complaint — they all fancy Aryan blondes.

That the Jewish involvement in Hollywood is an extension of their historical involvement in the prostitution industry is an arresting thought.

According to Rachel Weisz on why Hollywood Jews prefer blondes by Danielle Berrin (JewishJournal.com October 22 2009) from a financial point of view Rachel Weisz’ career has been quite successful – but despite Hollywood than because of it.

Rachel Weisz is in the news because, having broken up a 9-year relationship with American Jewish film producer Darren Aronofsky, she married last month British actor Daniel Craig.
