Alysia Reiner is an American actress and producer.
She is married to actor David Alan Basche, with whom she has one child.
She has stated:
In my house growing up, the intellect was God. We were cultural Jews. We ate bagels and lox, matzah and kugel, but we rarely went to temple and but parents didn’t fast or keep Passover. Judaism was the way we stayed connected to family, an excuse to gather, which I loved. At 11 years old when everyone started talking bat mitzvahs and my parents started talking Hebrew School, they couldn’t argue when I said, “I have no desire to do this thing, its all about big parties, materialism, and monetary gifts”.
Alysia’s paternal grandfather was Jules C. Reiner (the son of Sigmund Reiner and Esther/Ester Singer). Jules was born in New York, to parents from Galicia, Austria. Sigmund was the son of Louis Reiner and Bessie. Esther was the daughter of Leon Singer and Julia Memes.
Alysia’s paternal grandmother was Norma Ann Peyser (the daughter of Nathan Joseph “Nat” Peyser and Blanche Levy). Norma was born in New York. Nathan was born in New York, the son of Joseph Peyser, who was from Poland/Russia, and of Anna Katz/Kahn, who was from Germany. Blanche was born in New York, to parents from Russia.
Alysia’s maternal grandfather was Arnold J. Davis (who likely was the son of Morris A. Davis and Frances Weinman). Arnold was born in New York. Morris was born in New York, to parents from Romania, Samuel Davis and Lillian Leibowitz. Frances was born in Romania, the daughter of Aron Weinman and Rebeca Homowitz.
Alysia’s maternal grandmother was Seena Ruth Paleg (the daughter of Samuel Paleg/Paley and Jeanette Rubin). Seena was born in New York. Samuel was born in Minsk, Russia, now Belarus, the son of Leiser Paleg/Paley and Anna “Annie” Moshkow. Jeanette was born in New York, the daughter of Samuel Rubin, who was from Russia, and of Gussie Minoff.

Apparently she is of “Arabid” phenotype. Is that really unheard of in Italy, especially southern Italy?

Looks Italian
Sorry, but this is a ridiculous statement. In particular this kind of horsy face, with prominent nose, is absolutely alien.

Sei una capra o una scimmia?
CAPRONA!
There are many Italians with a horsy face and prominent nose, ever seen Sofia Coppola? There is not much difference between Southern Italians and Ashkenazi Jews on the genetic level, they cluster pretty close to each on a genetic PCA plot
Sofia Coppola? Living aside that the two look nothing alike, and Sofia is not even Italian but half-Italian, you guys live in a fantasy world. Get help.
halcyon91 halcyon91 uhhmm…is this a déjà vu? Because I remember you already tried to exotify Sofia Coppola in this site with the same agenda.
These phenotype discussions are interesting. Although I never made the original comment (my brother did) I’d be curious to know where she passes. In the Mediterranean perhaps?
Not that’s it’s anymore than anecdotal or opinion based, but she reminds me of a few Yemenite Jewish women I’ve seen.
Not that Yemen is anywhere near the Mediterranean of course.
@l!ttletimmy
Sorry, but you appear to be clueless. This is what a Mediterranean woman look like: https://ethnicelebs.com/luisa-ranieri
They could be sisters. Thanks for the suggestion, my hairy friend.
Muricansareallmutts now “Michael Mouse” is a fake person living in Italy. She uses Google.com dominion instead of Google.it. Spotted.
Vai dall’estetista tesoro, sembri la figlia di Fantozzi!!
