Yes, Rachel Weisz is a Jew. Her father’s a Hungarian-born Jew and her mother is said to be “Catholic Viennese,” but some accounts describe Rachel Weisz as having prominent Jewish ancestors on her mother’s side as well.
She is quoted in Index magazine as having said, “I was advised by an American agent when I was about 19 to change my surname and I said. “Why? Jews run Hollywood.” He said “Exactly.” He had a theory that all the executives think acting’s a job for shiksas.”
