Oberman, who’s currently playing Shylock in the “Merchant of Venice” in the UK to great acclaim, added, “If he needs to wear a prosthetic nose then that is, to me and many others, the equivalent of Black-Face or Yellow-Face.” Cooper plays Bernstein through stages of his life in the movie, which Netflix is being seen as setting up for Oscar buzz.
“Jews do not, in fact, have bigger noses than other people do; Leonard Bernstein did. That’s the end of the story for me.”
