@windstorm1000: Hi, I'm not sure what the context of your question was but the surname 'Cohen' and it's other variations you mention mean 'priest' in Hebrew, not 'teacher'. Amongst the Orthodox Jews it still refers to the hereditary patrilineal line of of cohens ie: priests descended from Aaron, the brother of Moses.

Splendid and Classic!

@paulostroff99 You are 99% right--The one exception: I've been told "Kahn" or "Cohn" means 'teacher' in Hebrew...Al the other ones are derivatives of whatever the countries of the diaspora of Jews went to. Am I accurate here?

Merman was Magnificent. The greatest star that ever appeared on the boards.

If you don't like her enunciation or diction or tempi, go find one of the little soubrettes which seem to be bred in captivity, cannot be differentiated from one another, and whose moment(s) on Broadway will soon be forgotten and let the rest of us glory in the unique and unforgettable sound of a legend.

When I look at this stuff, I wonder why we gave up an interest in talent over....what ever it is most actors are vomiting over us. Do any of them possess any talent? For Hollywood, which (traditionally) is supposed to be a community of artists, I haven't seen much in my lifetime (80's, kid). Can any of them dance, sing, write, choreograph or live with out CG. I might actually pay for a movie again if they did.
