content: It makes you wonder if she had her Kike beak shaved off to look less like a Jew.   Connelly was born in Cairo, New York, in the Catskill Mountains. She is the daughter of Ilene, an antiques dealer, and Gerard Karl Connelly (1941–2008), a clothing manufacturer.[3][4] Her father was Roman Catholic, and of Irish and Norwegian descent.[5] Connelly's mother was Jewish,[6][7] and was educated at a yeshiva;[8][9] all of Connelly's maternal great-grandparents were Jewish emigrants from Poland and Russia.[10][11] Connelly was raised primarily in Brooklyn Heights, near the Brooklyn Bridge, where she attended Saint Ann's, a private school specializing in the arts.[11] Her father suffered from asthma, so the family moved to Woodstock, New York, in 1976 to escape the city smog.[3] Four years later, the family returned to Brooklyn Heights, and Connelly returned to Saint Ann's School.[1]  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jennifer_Connelly
