❤️ Meet Julianna Margulies. A major Hollywood actress, Emmy winner, and the star of ER, The Good Wife, and The Morning Show. She is Jewish. Her father, Paul Margulies, was a writer and advertising executive. Her mother, Francesca Goldberg, was a ballet dancer. Both came from families of Jewish immigrants from Austria, Hungary, Romania, and Russia. Since October 7, many global stars chose to stay silent, look away, or even turn their backs. Julianna did the opposite. She spoke out against Hamas. At Variety’s summit in October 2023, she called Hollywood’s silence disheartening and shocking. She wrote a USA Today column — a letter to her non-Jewish friends: after the massacre, almost none of them asked how she was. She compared Hamas’s goal to the Nazis’: to cleanse the world of Jews. She appeared on Israel’s Channel 12, speaking through tears, saying those who stay silent become complicit. She stood with hostage families. She knew what that could cost her in the industry. The easy quiet was gone. She did not back down. It’s really heartening that there are still normal people in Hollywood like Julianne... unlike that Spanish "inquisitor" Bardem and the unhinged Mark Ruffalo!
