The Return of Jezebel James

… T minus 3 days, and counting…

The Return of Jezebel James premiers Friday, March 14.

I guess you learn something new every day. Today, I learned in profile article about Lauren Ambrose that “Ambrose” is not Lauren’s family name. Did you know that Lauren Ambrose is Italian?

Ambrose, who was born in Connecticut with the last name D’Ambruoso, grew up in a food-centric household of Italian-Americans. Her father, she said, is a caterer at Amarante’s in New Haven, “a big, Italian, wedding-extravaganza place.”

She looks exactly like her paternal grandmother, a redhead, she said, adding: “There’s red hair on both sides of the family. My mother made me promise to never dye my hair. ’It’ll never come back,’ she said. I don’t know if I can live up to that — actresses are always asked to do crazy things.”

Well, wha’d’ya know?
