Award-winning Jewish actor and Yiddish singer Mandy Patinkin has his prostate removed after being diagnosed with cancer last month. His agents report that he’s recovering nicely and should be back to work soon.
We love Mandy’s Mamalosheh and don’t deny his Broadway appeal, but we like him just as well as the swashbuckling scarface Inigo Montoya in the Princess Bride and as James Caan’s snakey sidekick in Alien Nation.
