Jessica DiCicco is an American actress. She is known mostly for voice over roles, often for Nickelodeon, Disney, and Cartoon Channel.
She is the daughter of manager Margo Malkin and actor Bobby Di Cicco. Her sister is musician Katie DiCicco. Jessica was raised mostly on the Upper West Side of New York City. She is married to Josh Lewis, with whom she has two children.
Jessica’s maternal grandfather was Herbert Malkin (the son of Herman Malkin and Pauline Marine). Herbert was born in New York, to Russian Jewish parents.
Jessica’s maternal grandmother was Sonya S. Gecker (the daughter of Morris Gecker and Maria Trachtenberg). Sonya was born in New York, to Russian Jewish parents.
I’m sorry if I came off as rude. I shouldn’t have written in that disrespectful tone and I truly am sorry. I’m not saying it’s impossible DiCicco has Jewish ancestry, in fact checking ancestry.com it appears she does. But I think it’s a good thing to link family trees because occasionally incorrect information can come up about someone.
I am skeptical of the Jewish matriline. Not a single family tree is provided. This makes user Madman’s claims dubious.
I meant to say “maternal side” as matriline strictly refers to descent through females only
