Ryder claims Gibson referred to Jewish people as “oven dodgers” and says she’s been turned down for looking “too Jewish” for a role (via toofab)
"I have [experienced anti-Semitism] … in interesting ways," she explained."There are times when people have said, 'Wait, you're Jewish? But you're so pretty!' There was a movie that I was up for a long time ago, it was a period piece, and the studio head, who was Jewish, said I looked 'too Jewish' to be in a blue-blooded family.
The reporter noted Ryder shook her head"incredulously" while telling the story, adding that he"tried" to apologize at a later date.
