- Ambiguously Jewish: Behar has always had to remind people she's Italian, not Jewish. When casting her, Woody Allen expressed surprise she wasn't Jewish. Part of the reason is that she's often confused with Julie Kavner, who is.Joy: A few months ago I get a call, saying "Happy Hanukah". I said, "Ma, I'm not Jewish, alright?"
