 Two parts to this.

1. Was Barry Siegel her manager? Yes.
Barry Siegel was Lisa Marie Presley's longtime business/financial manager, running her affairs through his firm, Provident Financial Management, from 1993 onward. He was also co-trustee of the Promenade Trust (the Elvis estate trust) alongside Priscilla. That ended badly: in February 2018 Lisa Marie sued him for $100 million, claiming he turned her $100 million inheritance into $14,000 through "reckless and negligent mismanagement," and he countersued saying she was simply a spendthrift. She fired him and his firm. The 2016 trust amendment that removed both Priscilla and Siegel as co-trustees and substituted Riley and Benjamin Keough is the exact document at the center of the post-death legal fight.

2. Is he Jewish? Very likely, but not explicitly confirmed in press coverage.
Here's the evidence:

• Surname: Siegel is a classic Ashkenazi Jewish name (from the German/Yiddish for "seal").
• Career lineage: he came up at Gelfand, Rennert & Feldman, then co-founded his own firm as Siegel & Feldstein — that entire world of LA business management was heavily Jewish.
• He sits on the board of governors of Cedars-Sinai, the LA hospital with deep Jewish roots.
• Born and raised in Pasadena, married to a woman named Pattie.

What you won't find is a mainstream source stating flatly "Siegel is Jewish" — no bar mitzvah mention, no quoted Jewish-press profile. So the honest answer is: almost certainly Jewish by background, based on name and milieu, but treat it as strong inference rather than confirmed fact.

you don't know a man until you know him

 They are always bad mouting Ty Cobb, that he was some kind of horrible person. Seems not. 

"Five years after Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier, Ty Cobb publicly supported blacks and whites playing baseball together, adding: "Certainly it is okay for them to play. I see no reason in the world why we shouldn't compete with colored athletes as long as they conduct themselves with politeness and gentility. Let me say also, that no white man has the right to be less of a gentleman than a colored man; In my book that goes not only for baseball, but in all walks of life." Using even stronger language, Ty Cobb told the Sporting News in 1952 that: "The Negro should be accepted and not grudgingly, but wholeheartedly." In 1953, black newspapers cited his praise for Brooklyn Dodgers' catcher Roy Campanella, who Cobb said was: "Among the all-time best catchers in baseball." Following Roy Campanella's accident that left him paralyzed, the Dodgers staged a tribute game where tens of thousands of spectators silently held lit matches above their heads. Cobb wrote Walter O'Malley, the Dodgers owner to show his appreciation: "For what you did for this fine man." Cobb also stated that Willie Mays was the: "Only player I'd pay money to see." In the Ty Cobb obituaries that ran in the black press following Cobb's death, Cobb was praised for: "Speaking in favor of racial freedom in baseball."

abolished slavery

Britain likes to tell the story of the day it abolished slavery.

Here is the part that gets left out: on the day the law took effect, almost nobody was actually freed. They were reclassified as "apprentices" and made to keep working for their former owners, unpaid, for another six years. The Slavery Abolition Act took effect on 1 August 1834. Children under six were freed. Everyone else over six became an apprentice bound to the same estate. Field workers owed forty-five hours a week, unpaid, for six years. Domestic workers owed four years. They could be flogged for refusing. Special magistrates were appointed to hear complaints and were frequently the planters' friends. Women could be punished on the treadmill. Meanwhile the owners received twenty million pounds in compensation — a sum so large that Britain borrowed it, and did not finish repaying the loan until 2015. So the arithmetic of British abolition, honestly stated: the enslavers were paid, and the enslaved were required to work another four to six years for nothing. Freedom was not given in 1834. It was scheduled, and then the people it was owed to forced it forward.

 The most famous defender of workers never paid the slightest wage to his own housemaid.

Karl Marx spent his life denouncing the exploitation of man by man. But under his own roof, the prophet of class struggle acted exactly like certain bourgeois bosses he condemned. For more than forty years, Helene Demuth was the Marx family's servant. She washed their laundry, cooked their meals, and raised their children. All of it without ever receiving the slightest regular salary. The housemaid was simply housed and fed. Available for labor and corvée at will. In 1851, the author of the Communist Manifesto crossed another line: he got his servant pregnant. A boy was born of this asymmetrical relationship: Frederick. For Marx, the existence of this illegitimate son was a catastrophe. It threatened his public image and his marriage to a Prussian aristocrat. The great defender of the proletariat then coldly refused to recognize his own working-class child. Worse, he orchestrated a pitiful lie to save his respectability. He convinced his loyal friend, the wealthy industrialist Friedrich Engels, to publicly claim paternity in his place. Little Frederick was torn from his mother and discreetly sent to a foster family in the poor neighborhoods of London. Marx never acknowledged him. He never gave him the slightest penny. For years, when the boy came to visit his mother, Marx forbade him from entering through the front door of the house. He had to come in through the service entrance, on the kitchen side. The secret would be fiercely guarded by the fathers of communism. It was only on his deathbed that Engels finally confessed the true identity of the child's father. Karl Marx wrote "Capital" while his servant cleaned his floors for free, after having hidden and abandoned the son he had fathered with her.

 When Three's Company began its fifth season in late 1980, Somers demanded a salary increase "from $30,000 an episode to $150,000 an episode, equal to what Ritter was making and comparable to the salaries of other male sitcom stars at the time"^[35] as well as 10% of the show's profits.^[36] DeWitt and Somers were paid the same, less than Ritter, but DeWitt also had a "favored nations" clause in her contract, which guaranteed she received equal terms to other cast members.^[37] Somers' request was influenced by her second husband and manager, Alan Hamel.^[38]

"The night before we went in to renegotiate, I got a call from a friend who had connections high up at ABC, and he said, 'They’re going to hang a nun in the marketplace, and the nun is Suzanne,' The network was willing to do this because, earlier that year, the women on Laverne & Shirley had gotten what they asked for, and they wanted to put a stop to it. They’d destroy the chemistry on Company to make a point." — Alan Hamel, 2015^[35]

ABC was willing to offer only a $5,000 per episode raise.^[33] Somers then refused to appear in the second and fourth episodes of the season, citing excuses such as a broken rib. She finished the remaining season on her contract; however, her role was reduced to just 60 seconds per episode, with her character appearing in only the episode's closing tag in which Chrissy calls the trio's apartment from her parents' home. After ABC fired her from the program and terminated her contract, Somers sued the network for $2 million, saying her credibility in show business had been damaged. The lawsuit was settled by an arbitrator who decided Somers was owed only $30,000, due to a single missed episode for which she had not been paid. Future rulings also favored the network and producers. Somers said she was fired for asking to be paid as much as popular male television stars.^[36][37][39]

Hamel was born in Toronto of Jewish descent.
