This profile needs to be correted, the upper part suggests that she’s ” one eighth Ashkenazi Jewish, ancestry. ”
While the lower part says: “Julianne’s great-great-grandfather Walter was Jewish, the son of parents of German Jewish origin,”
which means that she is only 1/16 Jewish
(grandfather = 1/4, great= 1/8, great-great = 1/16).
Fix that upper part if you may.
So is her distant relationship to Marisa Tomei going to be mentioned?
No. It was a total waste of screen time. I wish they had spent the two minutes giving us the full DNA results of any number of previous guests, including Julianne Moore.
I wonder if the compendium will have a more detailed rundown of their connection…
I do find it annoying when they leave out the DNA results. Perhaps they do it because several of the last guests had such uninteresting admixtures, Gates felt it didn’t warrant screen time. I do dislike how the current season is backed by Ancestry, I don’t care for their admixture estimations.
