whether or not someone is frum should be between them and Hashem. Unless you are trying to decide if the person is a good shidduch for you or your child, etc, there's nothing constructive that would come out of pursuing this line of thinking. There's no to'eles. Can we please stop this thread before it goes further?

I remember reading somewhere that she was more comfortable playing a love interest of Jim Parsons because he is gay in real life. So her making out with him doesn't do anything for him... The whole purpose of shomer negiah is to prevent anything from happening, but he isn't interested, so that in itself is a shomer... Just something interesting I read.

I know she's frum and is an actress and scientist. I don't watch series TV so that's about all I know. But maybe she's a member here and is reading this now, so Hi, Mayim!

Can we please shut down this LH fest?
Mayim bialik observes the big three mitzvot, as well as many other mitzvot.
There are plenty of “frum looking” jews who commit heinous crimes and may or may not be sitting in jail. I would sooner attack their “frum-ness” before I attack Mayim, who is a wonderful, vocal about her Judaism, woman.

I think she is referring to Jew in the City.

Dressed secularly? Not sure what that means, but she dresses completely tzanua on the show.
But you are correct that you cant know someone is frum by how they look. NEVER can you know if someone is truly frum by how they look. But you can look her up and find out almost anything you would like to know about her.

An example of an orthodox actor would be Steven Hill, frum, fully, and worked in showbiz.

From my understanding she became frum and already had a role in a TV show. Due to her value as an actor they gave her character a wardrobe and actions that are compatible with the religious lifestyle as she described it to them.
She did feel a bit held back due to her role.
I’ve read about her on Aish.com where she has submitted some pieces.

I knew she was frum. In the beginning of the entire #MeToo movement, she wrote a NYT article promoting tznius as a protection against assault. Yeah. She had to apologize for victim blaming.

A frum woman also doesn’t do Lashon Hora about their Jewish sisters even if they have reached celebrity status. How “frum” each and everyone of us is, is not for us to judge.

What amazed me more is that she has a PhD in something like neurobiology. |
Why? Plenty of us frum women have advanced degrees. And plenty of celebrities have good degrees too eg Lisa Kudrow although David Duchovny gave up his advanced degree to act/look gorgeous.

Makes sense to me. If I were an actress I’d only want to snog gay men too. 🤣😃

Great minds discuss ideas;
average minds discuss events;
small minds discuss people.
The words are attributed to social activist and former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt,

Franticfrummie, who ever started this thread & everyone posting a reply is discussing people, not just me, so I guess we all have small minds including you.
