Categorized as Jewish

How it is it possible to categorize her as Jewish? Her father has Jewish mitochondrial DNA. ALL mitochondrial DNA is inherited from the mother. I know this is original research but OR is permitted on talk pages. This leads to the further deduction that's she's related to Alan Dershowitz which is patently falsifiable. Hope someone can clean this up one day. Wlmg (talk) 15:18, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Idle Hands

Using the adjective "little seen" to the movie Idle Hands in the Acting Career section seems a bit pointy and irrelevant, especially since the movie's page describes it as having a cult following. 2603:8080:3600:1849:6883:4739:B7FD:B5E8 (talk) 21:13, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The part about Alba's genetic breakdown appears to be simply incorrect

I'm challenging this edit on 4 January 2015 by User:Anen87. The part of Alba's Finding Your Roots 2014 episode where she was presented with her genetic breakdown is widely available on YouTube and it is drastically different than what was added in that edit on 4 January 2015. For example, she is 33.5% British and Irish and 20.8% Native American, not 22.5% East Asian/Native American. The test found that only about 1.2% of Alba's DNA is "Broadly Native American and East Asian". Any objections before I pull what appears to be flatly incorrect information?

1996 kidnapping

I swear this used to be in the article, but I don't see it in some older versions I checked. Anyway, seemed like an important incident to overlook. 178.67.196.87 (talk) 09:54, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
