Best Answer

Gypsy Rose Lee's father, known to me as Johann Olaf Ingermann Hartwick Hovick (John Hovick), was neither Jewish nor a Rabbi, but rather full-blooded Norwegian. Raised by his fisherman dad, who was out to sea much of the time, and housekeepers (his mother had been committed when he was 6), there must have been little of religion in the home. After he was married a second time, to his beloved wife Elizabeth (Miller), he became a Christian Scientist.
