Mr. X Blind Item #5 - Old Hollywood
Which B-list tough guy, who was almost A-list for a short period, was born and raised into a Jewish family, but when he got to Hollywood he was told by several [Jewish] studio heads to hide his faith from the public, because they wanted an 'exotic' leading man a la Rudolph Valentino? He did so, never discussing his faith to the public until his later years.
