\4'• SUMMIT CHIROPRACTIC Is pleased to announce Dr. Adam Apfelblat as Associate Chiropractor On support for him over the years by Jewish audiences ... "The Jewish culture — people who are Jewish — have certain cultural habits that they've formed and one of those habits is an appreciation of the- ater and music. They like that very much. And since I'm in show busi- ness, I would fall into that category of things that would interest them. "Culturally speaking, I was raised in a Jewish household and in addi- tion to the negative religious side of it, I was also taught respect for books and respect for learning and respect for the higher professions: medicine, law and teaching. 'An interest in films and theater and classical music — these are cul- tural things that one does associate with values that are promulgated by Jewish families. "And I think that's a good thing." On Jewish audiences having a sense of ownership "There may be [such a feeling]. But that's false. I don't feel that kin- ship that way. I don't feel that I should feel the pain of a Jewish per- son any more than the pain of a gen- tile person. It's not right." if he could change his looks ... "Well, I guess I wouldn't necessarily want to be a big muscular guy, but its nice to be gorgeous whether you're male or female — assuming you don't lose whatever else you have. "But [appearance] is also a big sta- ple for comedians. You always see the floor thinking, 'This is too funny."' Berkley got her chance to play a Jewish girl in the independent film The Taxman, with Joe Pantoliano. Portraying a Russian Jewish girl in Brighton Beach, Berkley voices half her lines in Russian (with English subtitles) and half in English with a Russian accent. She just finished The Shipment, another film with Modine, and is slat- ed to go into another feature film at the end of the summer. Berkley doesn't rule out more stage work, either. While it's doubtful Lenny will be heading to New York — Izzard prefers his improvisational stand-up over the confines of a scripted play — she "would love to do Broadway, defi- nitely, a musical or a straight play "But I'd love to use my dancing expe- rience," says Berkley, who gave up ballet for modeling and acting early in her Disc Treatment • Traction Tables • X-rays • Myofacial Trigger Point Therapy • Strengthening & Stretching Rehabilitation Programs • Pain Management Doctor Available Jackie Gleason always making the fat jokes and Jack Benny with the cheap jokes and WC. Fields doing jokes about his big red nose. The physical part of it is part of the whole package that we joke about." On his movie making style ... "I think I've gotten slightly, slightly; technically better over the years, but I mean you have to be a fool not to. I've made so many movies. Just by sheer quantity, you get better at the technique. "But I still function now the way I functioned when I first started — and I've been very blessed to have backing: the idea I want to make, I make. [I make] the film that strikes my fancy at the time. "I think I'm doing the same kind of jokes now that I did when I was younger. I really do." AVAN Dr. Samuel Gray "Dr. Gray's compassion and high quality care makes referring patients to him a joy!"

I feel that way, I guess, being a prod- uct of the movies of the '40s. "We saw how people lived in the movies and then you saw your own life, and it always seemed to me — this has been an incessant theme in pictures of mine — that reality is just unpleasant and difficult and tragic and awful for everybody. "NI could change the structure of existence, I would do it. I can see a bet- ter way to live for everybody But within the drab limitations that we're all sad- dled with, yes, Eve been very lucky." D. career. (As a teenager, she performed in The Nutcracker and Swan Lake with principal dancers from American Ballet Theatre and the New York City Ballet in performances staged by Dance Detroit.) She recently used her musical talents in "Divas Simply Singing," an L.A. benefit for the fight against AIDS, where she sang and danced in a rendi- tion of "Fever." "It was a real kind of performance piece," says Berkley, smil- ing. "It was fun. She's having fun in her personal life, too. "I have a wonderful love," she says, though she declines to give her boyfriend's name. "He's an actor and an artist — and he's Jewish."
