I read some posts here on r/AskHistorians explaining the historical reasons for why Jewish people were limited to working with second hand commerce and lending money. But I couldn't find anything related to the presence of jewish people in Hollywood or the media in general.
I'm well aware that any theory saying that the Jewish People have any control of media/banks/etc. is an antisemitic conspiracy, as they were the go-to minority for any prejudice in Europe. But my focus with this question is to know if there is, at all, any particular presence of Jews, in comparison to other ethnicities, in the film industry. And if so, what are the historical reasons for that presence.
There is significantly less of an association now, but very early in the film industry there actually was a reason Jews tended to enter the industry in numbers larger than their proportion to the general population. During the early 20th century a significant number of Yiddish speaking Ashkenazi Jews immigrated to the US, bringing with them a robust Yiddish theatrical culture. However when they moved to the US they found a theatrical culture which for the most part rejected Jews due to antisemitism and xenophobia. Some Jews remained in the Yiddish theatrical world, mainly in New York, but others started working in the newly forming film industry where there was less of an ingrained and antisemitic social hierarchy.
