Julianna Margulies is an American actress and producer. She has starred on television’s ER, The Mists of Avalon, The Sopranos, The Good Wife, Dietland, The Hot Zone, and The Morning Show, and in the films Dinosaur, What’s Cooking?, Ghost Ship, Evelyn, Snakes on a Plane, City Island, Stand Up Guys, and The Upside.
Julianna is the daughter of Francesca (Goldberg, later Gardner) and Paul Margulies (Paul Eli Margulies). Her father was a writer, philosopher, and creative director in the advertising industry; he wrote many jingles, including “Plop, Plop, Fizz, Fizz, Oh What a Relief it Is!” for Alka-Seltzer. Her mother was a ballet dancer and eurythmy teacher.
Julianna’s parents were born Jewish; their families were Jewish emigrants from Romania, Austria, Hungary, Latvia, and Russia. During her childhood, Julianna’s parents divorced, and her mother converted to Christianity. Julianna identifies herself as Jewish, though she is not religious. Julianna is married to lawyer Keith Lieberthal, with whom she has a son.
Julianna has stated:
[My parents were] both 100% Jewish, but my mother’s family tried to keep their Jewishness quiet. Because her grandmother, who had fled from Prussia, persecuted for being a Jew didn’t want to cause any reason for someone to harm her. So they didn’t celebrate Passover and Yom Kippur and Hanukkah… They spoke Yiddish and they had Jewish food but they didn’t advertise their Jewishness, because that caused tremendous pain in their family… I wasn’t Bat Mitzvahed. And I married a Jewish man who said, I want to raise our son Jewish, and I want a Jewish wedding… I’ve sort of grown into the role of my life, as not just the actress and the independent woman, but also as part of a unit, part of a family. We do Shabbat on Fridays, even if it’s just to light the candles, and to say goodbye to the workweek, and to say hello to our friends and family. Putting down phones. It’s the tradition of Judaism.
A DNA test whose results were displayed on the show Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates, Jr. (2016) stated that Julianna’s genetic ancestry is:
*96.3% Ashkenazi [Jewish]
*3.2% Broadly European
*0.2% Broadly Southern European
*0.1% Sardinian
*0.1% Eastern European
*0.1% Broadly Northern European
Julianna’s patrilineal ancestry most likely traces to Rabbi Jacob Margolith, who was born in the 15th century, in Worms, Bavaria.
Julianna’s paternal grandfather was Irving Margulies (the son of Pincus Margulles/Margulies and Matilda Lazarus). Irving was born in New York. Pincus and Matilda were born in Romania. Pincus was the son of Abraham Margulies and Beila Riker. Matilda was born in Galatz, the daughter of B. Lazarus/Lazar and Malka Herman.
Julianna’s paternal grandmother was Henrietta G. Greenspan (the daughter of Wolf William Grünspan and Molly/Mollie Tiger/Tieger). Henrietta was born in New York. Wolf and Molly were born in Austria, with Wolf being from Galicia. Molly was the daughter of Samuel A. Tieger and Edith Bodenstein.
Julianna’s maternal grandfather was named Mandel Max Goldberg (later Michael Gardner).
Julianna’s maternal grandmother was Isabel Berman (the daughter of Morris Berman and Ida Ginsberg). Isabel was born in New York. Morris and Ida were born in the Russian Empire, with Ida being from Glazmanka, now in Latvia. Morris was the son of Isack Berman and Annie/Anna Lanar. Ida was the daughter of Merkel/Max Ginsberg and Rebecca/Lena Cohen.

I am interested in where the Sardinian ancestry fits in.
I’m a native Sardinian from Italy I can answer you in my region can looks Arab due this ancient root that so many Sardinians have her nose.
There are very light Semitics on white-pink skin in the case you doubt it she’s Levantine.
Thank you for replying! She is of Eastern European Jewish extraction and Sardinia is an interesting contrast. She is really beautiful and unique looking :)
0,1% is called “noise” in genetics. It literally means nothing.
Dont listen to what “muricansareallmutts” says, he is a fraud (and a troll).
@Jojoseahorse don’t consider him he’s a scum who claims to be Italian and Finnish but he doesn’t know anything of both of them I talked to him so much and I always busted him due to his poor knowledge of my country and my fellow citizens.

A proposito con —- intendo questo ma tu che sei ——— non puoi capirlo:
Nordicista da strapazzo.
“Vieni in Europa a vedere che non siamo scuri come pensi”. Ahaha tipico ——— di chi europeo non lo è. Infatti gli Europei (veri) stanno ore al sole per scurisi la pelle apposta. Ma te non lo puoi capire perché sospetti di essere tutte le cose (non europee) di cui tacci gli altri.
“Infatti gli Europei —— stanno ore al sole per scurisi la pelle apposta” AHAHAHAHAHA AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA la solita cacatissima detta da voi ——– —— ci volete —– —- — certo tutta l’Europa vuole essere —– lo —— voima non è così a pochi di noi piace la pelle ——- perché fa —— sa da —— si vede come non sai che i nordeuropei ti guardano ——— se sei scuro e ti inscurisci vallo a dire ai danesi giusto per citare uno di quei popoli vedi come ti rispondo.

“di cui tacci gli altri” dici degli altri coglione tacci vuol dire tacere quale traduttore usi pirlone?

Scusa se uso un italiano troppo difficile, non hai fatto Liceo o Università, immagino. E ancora quella cosa del traduttore.
Che poi i Danesi non se li fila nessuno. ——- ————– a parte la Sirenetta e i biscotti al burro con la scatola di latta.
È ovvio che hai il complesso della pelle scura (come i “——–” che dici tu), perché se stai troppo al sole diventi bello scuretto. Mentre all’Europeo medio (che è più chiaro di te in media), non dispiace affatto apparire più scuro.
Uso un italiano troppo difficile, non hai fatto il liceo o l’università, sicuramente. E ancora quella cosa del traduttore si vede che lo usi ricopi i tipici errori molto gravi che fa il traduttore e degli stranieri che provano a parlare la mia lingua.
Che poi i danesi non se li fila nessuno secondo te. ——- ————– a parte la Sirenetta e i biscotti al burro con la scatola di latta secondo te.
È ovvio che hai il complesso della pelle scura (come i “——–” che dici tu), perché se stai troppo al sole diventi —— scuretto. Mentre all’europeo medio (che è più chiaro di te trenta volte), dispiace parecchio apparire più scuro.
Ti ho corretto in tutto.
Sì, appunto. Nazione abbastanza insignificante, date le dimensioni scarse. Mai sentito nessuno nominare i danesi in vita mia. Mai. Comunque ti mando questo link, mi scordavo di alcuni personaggi famosi del posto: https://biografieonline.it/nati.htm?in=danimarca
Glazmanka is today in Latvia.
It’s actually been annexed by Mexico.
It made me smile.
