Her mother, African American singer Minnie Riperton died when Rudolph was 6, and Rudolph was raised by her Jewish father, composer and producer Richard Rudolph, now 69. The program, hosted by Henry Louis Gates Jr., explored both her African American roots (her lineage is traced back to a 5-year-old slave on a Kentucky plantation) and her Jewish roots traced back to Vilna, Lithuania; her great-grandfather Judel Rudashevsky traveled to America at age 21, changed his name to Julias Rudolph and became a founding member of Congregation Beth Shalom in Pittsburgh, a Conservative synagogue that still exists today. (By the way, the Jan. 26 episode featured the ancestry of Norman Lear, 93, the creator of many hit shows, including All in the Family, and the Feb. 2 show will feature famous architect Frank Gehry, 86.) As I ve noted before, past episodes of PBS shows, including this series, are viewable online for free. Rashida Jones, 39, the multi-talented daughter of actress Peggy Lipton, 69, and legendary African American musician and producer Quincy Jones, is the titular star of the new TBS series Angie Tribeca. It s a straight-out comedy send-up of police shows, simi- lar to the Police Squad TV show and the Naked Gun movies. The first 10 episodes were shown on TBS Jan. 17-18, but you can view them all via On Demand or online (free). The next 10 episodes are being shown weekly, starting Monday, Jan. 25. And, yes, Rashida was raised Jewish, too. * Richard Goode E.T. the Extra- Terrestrial Rudolph Jones EXQUISITE FOOD & EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE EpicKosher.com Catering@EpicKosher.com Supervised by the Council of Orthodox Rabbis of Greater Detroit CHOLOV YISROEL KOSHER CUISINE GLATT KOSHER CUISINE 2046060 Off / 2 2053650 248.476.0044 Not good with any other coupons.
