→the myth that Hollywood is run by Jews: Dpbsmith raises a VERY good point
==the myth that Hollywood is run by Jews==
==the myth that Hollywood is run by Jews==
I'm softening this to "stereotype," because the word "Hollywood" is frequently associated with the heyday of the "studio system," roughly 1920 through 1950, a period during which I think it is literally true that the studio heads (the "moguls") ''were'' predominantly Jewish, mostly Jewish immigrants. Certainly Goldwyn, the Warner brothers, Mayer, Zukor, and Columbia's Harry Cohn were. About the only obvious exceptions I can think of were Walt Disney and Twentieth-Century Fox's Darryl F. Zanuck.

:Aside from [[Adam Sandler]], I can't think of any Jews who are promoting vulgarity any more than WASP's are. But I have heard that Hollywood has a disproportionately large percentage of Jewish producers. And wasn't [[William Shatner]] Jewish? I see an article in the offing, to be called [[Jews in Hollywood]] (or something a little more low-key). --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] 14:47, 18 April 2007 (EDT)
