Beverly Sills

Born Belle Miriam Silverman toletzt Jewish parents, Beverly Sills was, as her birth name suggests, at least partly Jewish. Her father was of Romanian Jewish descent, and her mother was born in an Odessa Jewish family, making Sills a solid 3 on the O scale. However, Sills rarely, if ever, spoke of her Jewish background, and converted to Christianity upon marrying her husband, Peter Greenough. That gets her a low score on the I.

Despite her tenuous Jewish identity, Sills possessed an undeniable kvel-worthiness. A celebrated opera singer, she performed at the Metropolitan Opera and eventually became the general director of the New York City Opera, a role she used to bolster the company's financial standing. Later, she chaired Lincoln Center and the Metropolitan Opera, solidifying her legacy as a formidable force in American arts.

Sills also dedicated herself to philanthropy, raising millions for the prevention and treatment of birth defects, a cause close to her heart due to her daughter's hearing impairment and her son's intellectual disability. This tireless advocacy, alongside her artistic achievements, certainly makes her a source of nachas, earning her a solid K score.
