In preparation for my Bat Mitzvah, I’ve been putting together a list of Jews in entertainment, partly as a list of suggestions for performers. I thought I’d share it here, and invite suggestions:

If that's not the face of a Jewess, I don't know what is.
Discuss!

1 | Bobby
umm, Al Jolson, Eddie Cantor, Fred Astaire, Sophie Tucker, Fanny Brice, supposedly Mae West
2 | Lil Miss Hot Mess
Oh, good! I didn’t know about Fred Astaire or Mae West.
I can’t believe I forgot Fanny. Which makes me realize I also forgot FRANCES FAYE, who belongs in the icon category!

I should also say that this is mainly a list of Jewish entertainers that I would want people to perform at the Bat Mitzvah. Not that I wouldn’t want any of those suggestions.
OMG, I also forgot ROSEANNE BARR. I think she’d also hit icon status for me. Who am I?
4 | Señor Del Toro
If I was performing I would be tempted to do Barney Frank, Gene Wilder, swimmer Mark Spitz (heyyyy Speedo bump!), or maybe Jason Alexander.
6 | Sister Tuna Noodle Cocktail
Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia),
Earth Kitt should be on the little bit Jewish list.
Samantha Davis Jr. (what you never heard of Sammy’s drag sister?)
