Every year, CBS Sunday Morning devotes
a segment to the prominent in many
fields who died in the past year. Here
are the Jewish persons on that list,
omitting those who “everybody” knows
were Jewish (like Jerry Lewis) — June
Foray, 99, the voice of “Rocky, the Flying
Squirrel” and “Natasha”; Stan Weston,
84. He brought the idea of G.I. Joe to
the (Jewish) owner of Hasbro Company;
Edith Schlain Windsor, 84, the plaintiff
in the landmark Supreme Court case
that legalized same-sex marriage; Judge
Joseph Wapner, 97, the first judge on
The People’s Court; Chuck Barris, 87,
the creator of The Dating Game, The
Newlywed Game and The Gong Show;
Monty Hall, 96, co-creator and host of
Let’s Make a Deal; and Eugene Lang,
98, inventor most famous for his phi-
lanthropy. He gave away $150 million,
mostly to education.
By the way, Netflix is now streaming a
four-part series on the history of famous
toys (The Toys that Made Us). The heavily
Jewish history of G.I. Joe and Barbie is
the focus of two of the episodes.
Finally, many have asked, so here’s
my answer about the hot-selling author
today: Michael Wolff, 64, the author of
Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White
House, is the son of a Jewish father and
a Presbyterian mother. I don’t know how
he was raised or identifies.

A couple of weeks ago, the engagement
of Alexa Dell, 24, and Harrison Refoua,
40, was announced. The engage-
ment made a splash because Dell is
the daughter of Dell Computer founder
Michael Dell, 52. Alexa further stoked
tabloid stories by displaying her 12-carat
diamond engagement ring (could be
worth $3 million).
Michael Dell started by selling com-
puters out of his dorm room in college.
Dell Computer, founded in 1984, soon
became the largest PC computer seller in
the world and Michael is now estimated
to be worth over $23 billion. He and his
wife, Susan Lieberman Dell, 53, have
four children, including Alexa. Their many
charitable donations include a $1.8 mil-
lion donation to the Israel Defense Forces
in 2014 and $36 million for Hurricane
Harvey relief (Dell grew up in Houston
and has lived in Austin, Texas, where he
now resides, since he was in college).
Refoua, a real-estate investor/man-
ager, grew up in Beverly Hills. He met
Alexa on a blind date set up by friends. I
know he’s Jewish and that his family is
probably Persian Jewish.
Almost everyone praised Seth Meyers
for his skillful hosting of the politically
charged Golden Globe awards show.
Meyers appeared on The Ellen Show a
few days before the Globes and talked
about his 2-year-old son, Ashe. As I’ve
written before, Meyers, who had one
Jewish grandfather, wed attorney Alexi
Ashe, 33, in a Jewish ceremony in 2013.
I gather they’re raising Ashe in his
mother’s faith, because Meyers talked
about their Chanukah celebration with
Ashe. Ashe isn’t completely fluent in
English yet, let alone Hebrew. But, as the
video Meyers showed the Ellen audience
revealed, the toddler tries hard. The video
showed Alexi lighting the eighth-night
Chanukah candles as Ashe sang the
blessing using nonsense syllables that
captured the rhythm of the prayer, even
if he didn’t really know the words. (Enter
“Seth Meyers’ Son Is a Chanukah Pro” in
the YouTube search engine.)
The couple is now expecting a second
child. Meyers said he knows it will be a
boy and he is happy because his best
friend is his brother, comedian Josh
Meyers. He wants Ashe to be able to
have the same experience. •
