The

arts & life

The FX network’s true-crime anthology
series American Crime Story began on
Tuesday, Feb. 2 (many
encore showings). The first
season is a dramatization of
the 1994-95 O.J. Simpson
murder trial. There were a
lot of Jewish players at the
trial; most are played by
Jews in the series. Here’s
the scorecard: Prosecutor
Marcia Clark, now 62 (Sarah
Paulson); Fred Goldman,
now 75 (Joseph Siravo); and
defense attorneys Robert
Blair
Shapiro, now 73 (John
Travolta), Barry Scheck,
now 66 (Rob Morrow, 53), and Alan
Dershowitz, now 77 (Evan Handler, 54).
Defense attorney Robert Kardashian
and his ex-wife, Kris Jenner, are played
by Jewish actors David Schwimmer, 49,
and Selma Blair, 43, a Bloomfield Hills
native who attended Hillel Day School.
By the way, American Crime was co-
produced by Brad Falchuk, 44, who also

co-created Glee and American Horror Story.
His mother, Nancy, was a former national
head of Hadassah. Falchuk recently spent
a long weekend with Gwyneth Paltrow,
43, and her daughter, Apple, 11. They’ve
been seeing each other since August
2014, but Paltrow made it official by post-
ing Instagram pics of them cuddling on a
Mexican resort beach. Like
Paltrow, he has two young
kids from a prior marriage.
Cuddling is what Daniel
Radcliffe, 26, has been
doing since 2013 with
his girlfriend, actress Erin
Darke, 29. Darke is a Flint
native and her parents still
live there. Radcliffe visited
Flint in December 2014. He
toured the town, ate at local
places (and presumably
drank the lead-filled water
— no comment about the
Flint crisis from him, yet). He was back in
Michigan around New Year's 2016 and
visited the Detroit Red Wings locker room,
where he put on a team jersey and posed
for an Instagram pic.

CAESAR, STRAUSS AND FISH

Hail Caesar! is a comedy set in the 1930s,
reminiscent of the screwball comedies of
