Jewish American Princess

Jewish actor's whirlwind life sets down in Pittsburgh

When he called The Jewish Chronicle, he’d just flown back from New York City. He was in the midst of rehearsing a new show with opera singer Nathan Gunn. He was starring in a new play called “Compulsion” about one man’s obsession with Anne Frank’s legacy. He was dotting all over the country for some long-booked concerts. And he was also hoping to find an hour or two to hit the gym. Since he debuted on Broadway in 1980’s “Evita,” Patinkin hasn’t slowed down too much at all. His career took off in the ’80s with a string of hit movies, including “Ragtime,” “Yentl,” “Daniel” and, of course, “The Princess Bride,” in which he played maybe his most iconic character, Inigo Montoya, and said his most iconic line: “My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.” Though he hit TV hard in the ’90s with an Emmy-nominated turn in “Chicago Hope,” for the past decade plus, Patinkin’s career has remained largely onstage, in a series of concerts he assembled. “Mamaloshen,” which debuted in 1998, was a collection of traditional and contemporary Yiddish songs. “Dress Casual” found Patinkin onstage with only a pianist. Patinkin works with the Arava Institute for Environmental Studies, an organization that brings multinational youth in the Middle East together to work toward a healthier environment, which he called “the most important organization I’ve ever been a part of. In terms of the peace process, it’s the most powerful entity I’ve discovered yet.

Ahhh... to be a princess - dara stieglitz

When I arrived in the United States to live and to go to high school at 16, one of the first things I hear was: "oh your dad is jewish, and you are a princess...well you can technically call yourself a Jewish American Princess or JAP for short." That was my introduction to negative name calling. My friends and  gently suggested I refrain from calling myself this as it is a negative and derogatory comment. The definition is high maintenance, not nice women which translates into shopping for the latest and the supposedly best, belonging to the supposedly best clubs and groups and only friends whose parents earn as much as theirs, best if more, and fathers have titles or are high on some corporation title. 3. you are willing to do the work the lowliest person does, because there are days as a princess, you have to do the job of public speaker, take pictures and visit the people at their jobs to show support whether or not you wish to. Yes, just like holding a regular job for that paycheck, you have to show up at the time prescribed otherwise the job is on the chopping block.
