It really doesn't matter but just out of curiosity only, was Gwen of the Jewish faith?  Does anyone know?  Thanks.

Gwen was definitely not Jewish.

from wikipedia

Verdon was born in Culver City, California, the second child of Gertrude Lilian (née Standring; October 24, 1896 – October 16, 1956) and Joseph William Verdon (December 31, 1896 – June 23, 1978), British immigrants to the United States by way of Canada.[1] Her brother was William Farrell Verdon (August 1, 1923 – June 10, 1991). The Verdon family could be described as "showpeople." Her father was an electrician at MGM Studios, and her mother was a former vaudevillian of the Denishawn dance troupe, as well as a dance teacher.[2][3]

^^^  I don't care either, but how does any of the Wiki quote suggest Verdon was NOT Jewish?
