[edit] Sources

The following people need to be sourced to a reliable source that says they are actually Polish-American or Polish:

  • George Antheil - according to this [1], his parents were German. His Wiki entry says that he was incorrectly reported to be Polish and/or Jewish - apparently a relative of his added this info
  • Michael Anthony born Michael Anthony Sobolewski, Link to this Polish Surname:[2]

*Eddie Blazonczyk sourced

It appears that he and his brother, John Pankow, the actor, are Irish-German, at least one source says so. If someone can source that his family is also from Polish ancestry, please provide the info. --Nanusia 04:32, 2 May 2006 (UTC *Janelle Pierzina, Reality Star/Model - SOURCED -- parents were Kevin John Pierzina and Ann Marie Eide. Paternal grandparents - Jerome Raymond Pierzina and Alice Elaine Pauly. Maternal were Carl Herbert Eide and Marie Ellen Mattson

*J. Michael Straczynski sourced

[edit] Actors

  • Alexis Arquette
  • David Arquette
  • Patricia Arquette
  • Rosanna Arquette
  • Carroll Baker - apparently mentioned in "Polish-Americans" documentary (see this page's archive), some sources say Caroll Baker is a pseudonym, providing other names as her birth names, though her parents are cited as having the surname Baker. Michael 05:31, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
    • And her mother is cited as having the surname "Duffy" over at the NNDB, if we choose to trust them... Mad Jack 05:36, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Skye McCole Bartusiak, actress - father is a Raymond Donald Bartusiak (mother is Helen McCole) Personal Quote: [3] "Continuing, she (Bartusiak)explains how she likes to cook anything especially Polish foods such as kielbasa, potato pancakes and sauerkraut. Like an expert, she shares the recipe for potato pancakes and clarifies that "to make real Polish sauerkraut, you have to squeeze all the sourness out."
  • Carlos Bernard, actor, aka Carlos Bernard Papierski
  • Anna Chlumsky
  • Jennifer Connelly
  • Matt Czuchry, actor
  • Robert Conrad - was listed as "Polish and Jewish" on Wikipedia, now "Polish and German". IMDB mentions a ton of backgrounds, some probably based on his last name, "Falkowski". Anyway, I haven't seen a reliable source for any of them.
  • Steve Dalkowski
  • Dann Florek - seems likely, but I couldn't find anything good

Found this quote but do not have a source for it: "Born in Michigan to Eldon Florek, a Polish dock-worker, and Georgianne Lomax, ..."

lol if you found the quote, then you must have a source for it (although not necessarily a good one). I think it used to say that line on his Wiki entry, so I'm sure some of the mirror sites picked it up. But I could be wrong Mad Jack O'Lantern 04:27, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Quote from Supernatural co-star Jensen Ackels "Jared's last name is Polish so I think he comes more from a Slavic background whereas I've got more of an English/Irish/Scottish background." [4] Apparently, Jared has stated he is of Polish descent during TV interviews in 2005 while plugging Supernatural. Also, stated by fans on the WB.com Message Boards.

[edit] Polish Americans on list of Poles

Can someone editing this page please explain to users on TALK:List of Polish Jews why we should not put Americans born of Polish descent on lists of Poles or Polish Jews. Thanks. 141.213.212.42 12:46, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
