Ack! You're right- I just checked the Internet Movie Database
(http://www.imdb.com/ - a very useful site!), and indeed, Sophie is not
Marcel's daughter and probably not Jewish either. The site, however,
does say that Marcel (who *is* Jewish) had three wives (still married to
the third; the other two he divorced) and two sons by his first wife.
Neither the first wife's nor the kids' names are mentioned. I assume
that this is the wife whose maiden name was MANN who is my distant
relative.

<sigh> This is all getting complicated. I'm just going to write to his
agent and hope for the best.

Thanks to everyone who replied!
