NOBEL TRIBE MEMBERS
Richard Thaler, 72, a University of
Chicago professor, won the Nobel in
economics. The New Jersey native’s
maternal grandparents came from Rus-
sia; his father was born and raised in To-
ronto. Thaler is better known than most
economists. His work has shown that
most people don’t follow a conventional
economic model that assumes they are
highly rational. His books for the lay
public (including the best-selling Nudge)
show how “irrational” behavior can be
harnessed for a better outcome. Thaler
gives great credit to the two Israelis
who opened up a fi eld that’s now called
“behavioral economics”: Daniel Kahne-
man, 83, a Nobel Prize winner in 2002,
and Kahneman’s collaborator, Amos
Tversky (1934-1996).
Michael Rosbash, 73, a professor at
Brandeis University, was one of three
co-winners of the Nobel for medicine/
physiology. The trio’s award is for
discoveries that explain how plants, ani-
mals and humans adapt their biological
rhythm so that it is synchronized with
the Earth’s revolutions. Rosbash was
born in Missouri, the son of German
Jewish refugees. His father was a can-
tor.
Rainer Weiss, 85, Barry Barish,
81, and Kip Thorne were awarded the
physics prize for decisive contributions
to the LIGO detector and the observation
of gravitational waves. Weiss was born
in Germany, the son of a Jewish father
and a non-Jewish mother. The family
was living in Czechoslovakia in 1938
when the Munich agreement gave the
country to the Nazis. They were allowed
to come to the States in 1939 because
the prominent (Jewish) Stix family of St.
Louis sponsored them (as they did many
others). In an interview, Weiss recounted
how many years later he personally
thanked Mrs. Erma Stix.
Barish’s paternal grandparents left
Poland and eventually settled in Sioux
City, Iowa, where his grandfather, Hy-
man, and his two brothers founded a
Ford dealership. His maternal grandpar-
ents also were from Poland. In 1921,
the Barish brothers refused to distribute,
as ordered, an anti-Semitic paper that
Henry Ford sponsored. They forced the
Ford company to buy them out. The
brothers moved to Omaha, where they
opened a Dodge dealership. Barry was
born in Omaha, but mostly grew up in
Los Angeles. The extended Barish “car-
selling” clan, including Barry’s father,
decided California was a better place to
sell cars after WWII.

TV/MOVIE NOTES
The Meyerowitz Tales, a comedy/drama,
didn’t begin as an original Netfl ix fi lm, but
Netfl ix was smart enough to pick it up as a
Netfl ix original following its premiere at the
recent Cannes Film Festival. The Cannes
premiere crowd gave it a four-minute
standing ovation after the fi lm concluded.
It’s directed and written by Noah Baum-
bach, 48. (Began streaming Oct. 13.)
Dustin Hoffman, 80, stars as Harold
Meyerowitz, a self-absorbed sculptor with
a minor reputation who has been married
four times. Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller,
both 51, co-star as Harold’s very different
sons (they are half-brothers). Variety praised
Sandler’s performance and even noted that
it’s ironic that his fi rst Oscar nomination
may come via a Netfl ix fi lm. Sandler plays
the sort of nebbish he usually plays in his
other fi lms, but without, Variety says, the
cloying shtick.
Opening in theaters on Oct. 20 is Mark
Felt: The Man Who Brought Down the White
House. Liam Neeson stars as Felt, the
deputy FBI director who was “Deep Throat”
in the Watergate scandal. Directed and writ-
ten by Peter Landesman, 57, it features
Ike Barinholtz, 40, and Noah Wyle, 46, in
biggish supporting roles. •
