I am – Natasha Lyonne: Jewish Celebrity of the Day

• 20 years ago

Back by popular demand is the Drunken Stepfather Jewish Celebrity of the day (that never happens more than once or twice a week). Today’s Jewish celeb is Hollywood actress Natasha Lyonne, who’s last name was Braunstein before she changed it to hide her Jewish roots. If you have no idea who I am talking about, she played the slutty chick in those American pie movies.

Now comes news that she was recently arrested in her Manhatten pad for making “menacing remarks to a neighbour’s pet” earlier in the week. Via E!Online

BIO:

Natasha Lyonne was born Natasha Braunstein on April 4th, 1979 in New York City. She spent her childhood in both New York and Israel as did her brother, Adam, who served in the Israeli army. Natasha attended Yeshiva high school, a Jewish high school in Manhattan. Her big acting break came when Woody Allen chose the then-16-year-old Natasha to portray his daughter, D.J., in his first musical motion picture, Everyone Says I Love You. After that, Natasha became known as someone who could play a whole range of eccentric, lovable characters and has since been cast in both small and feature rolls, including the naïve teenager Megan Bloomfield in But I’m a Cheerleader
