Paul Rudd

[edit]

As stated in an interview (this and others) with Rudd, his parents were British Jews. Around 2005, the IMDB decided that translated to him being "half Polish and half French". OK. Anyway, the source cited by the anon user was this, a column by this woman on this website, which describes itself as "a community of people who love movies. Sign up to write your own movie reviews, meet other movie lovers, read weekly featured columns, and participate in contests for prizes, including DVD movies and free movie tickets". The writer, Nancy Simon, is a "freelance writer and film enthusiast". I don't see how that would make either that site or this writer a reliable source, or lead anyone to believe Simon's info came from anywhere other than the IMDB.

Stanley Kubrick

[edit]

He's on the list, but it doesn't say he's of polish ancestry in the article about him (i do not recollect the fact as well) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.74.156.203 (talk) 17:58, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Jan Czochralski

[edit]

He was born in Poland, died in Poland, and probably never visited America. Why is he on the list? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.8.167.46 (talk) 13:24, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Alessandra Ambrosio

[edit]

Alessandra Ambrosio is Brazilian and doesn't say she's an American citizen, so I took her off the list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.44.58.168 (talk) 22:11, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps the greatest volleyball player of all time. His Polish ancestry is noted in an LA Times article I have linked below.
