For example, I read a movie review (here) which mentions a one-name actress (Aviva) who plays a character Nicola. Here are some trailers.
Here's a picture of her:-
So, who is "Aviva" and why just one name? What is she? A Madonna?
See, here's the cast:-
CAST:
SETH - Jonah Hill
EVAN - Michael Cera
FOGELL - Christopher Mintz-Plasse
OFFICER MICHAELS - Seth Rogen
OFFICER SLATER - Bill Hader
BECCA - Martha MacIsaac
JULES - Emma Stone
NICOLA - Aviva
Aviva is a Hebrew name. So, who is the mystery Jewess?
Aviva Farber. Nickname Hepa Chepa, born in 1984, from Sante Fe, NM. New Mexico?
Funny, does she look Jewish to you?
Some e-line interviews (here)
So, is she Jewish?

It has been too many years.
We're in SF, NM just now. There was a developing hozer b'tshuvah presence here (Torah Bamidbar) over 20 years ago. A few individuals and the mikvah remain (quite a few made aliya or went elseshere). There was a Farber family involved back then. Maybe she's related?
Shanah tovah!

Many people have Hebrew and Aramaic names but are not Jewish (myself included); that's not uncommon. I guess I don't understand the insinuation.
Is it good or bad that she has a Jewish name but may not be Jewish?
Just curious.
Neither good nor bad although it's nice to know that goodlooking people who are successful are also Jewish. I just wanted to know if indeed the name Aviva indicated Jewishness or that now non-Jews are taking, not Biblical, but modern Jewish names. Sounds like a strange trend, if true.
Well I know the surname FARBER as being jewish... In fact I know two FARBERs. both are jewish and one of them is a quite attractive jewish girl. Perhaps its a "Farber" think :)
She is a Farber.

Theres a site with a tiny bit about her.
It's important!!! Nepotism is too tough unless one can identify friends and family.
