Daniel Day-Lewis is recognized among Jewish contributors to Arts & Literature — Actor
Day-Lewis is widely regarded as one of the greatest actors of his generation and is the only man to win three Academy Awards for Best Actor (for My Left Foot, There Will Be Blood and Lincoln). His mother, actress Jill Balcon, was Jewish — daughter of the film producer Sir Michael Balcon — so he has documented maternal Jewish ancestry; his father, poet Cecil Day-Lewis, was not Jewish.
