Sorry, maybe I missed it, but where did you see that his maternal grandmother was Jewish?
That’s what I implied from social media. I couldn’t find her on a Census though. She was named Jacqueline S. Weinisch/Weinsch. Her race was listed as “French” on a ship manifest, and simply as “USA” on others.
Drucie was born in Damascus, Syria, to American parents. Her father was in the Navy and her mother was a Navy nurse.
