In the first attempt, two Russian assassins posing as FBI agents tried to kill Wayne — born Marion Morrison on May 26, 1907 — in his office at Warner Brothers studios in Hollywood.

Dietrich was also one of the ugliest bitches ever to appear on the screen as a "sex goddess". Give me Zarah Leander anyday.

Interestingly, I heard that Uncle Adolf was very much smitten with the admittedly attractive jewess Hedy Lamarr at a reception.

Was Buster Keaton a Jew? I hope not.

I doubt it - "Keaton" was his real name, and his mother's maiden name was "Cutler." That reminds me of a Harold Lloyd short I saw in film class (Lloyd was the guy with the boater and big glasses. In the film, he goes to a pawnshop where the owner is a Jew right out of Der Sturmer: greasy sidelocks, hooked nose, wringing his hands in anticipation of the deal he was getting. Lloyd did a bit of business where he wrung his hands in unconscious imitation of the Jew. I nearly broke a bloodvessel stifling my laughter.
