Her ethnic background


My late mom stated she was bi or multiracial. Considering she was born in India, and grew up in South Africa, it is possible. Her features do not look completely European.

reply

Don't know her ethnic background. But I do remember seeing her on TV years ago and she had beautiful legs. Or as they used to say, "gorgeous gams"!!

reply

Fantastic legs.

reply

I think you are right.

another i have wondered about is faye dunnaway. her bones and eyes always looked semi-afro to me, especially in early stuff

reply

Many fans of Vivian Leigh have stated she had slight East Indian features. She was born in India.

reply

interesting. i did not know that.

not a beauty queen but dinah shore was revealed to have some black blood. i believe there were other examples through the years too, ones maybe we don't know about

reply


Shore was certainly a very good looking woman in her day.

reply

Carol Channing was biracial and hid it.

Some of the white people with that "semi-asiatic" look are Sami or part Sami, you know, the people of northern Scandinavia formerly known as Lapland. They have light coloring, but can have almond eyes or a bone structure that looks like it came from eastern Asia.

reply

no idea who this woman is but i google image her right now and she look like white woman.

reply

she was a famous dancer from back in the day. her brother david prowse played darth vader in the three original star wars movies. if you are young you wouldn't have heard of them

reply

may i correct you buzz - david prowse play darth vader not chewie!

reply

reply

Juliet was also married to John McCook, the soap opera star.

reply

Yeah, I know who David Prowse is - I still remember him as the Green Cross Code man. But there is no mention of Juliet and when I googled all I found was other people asking the same question.

reply

oh, you were talking about the brother part, not his playing vader.

i dunno, i always heard that. i never questioned it. not sure how to confirm it.

reply

fair enough - I was surprised their DOBs were so close together, David: July 1 1935, Juliet: September 25 1936 - but I don't believe they are related - pretty certain it would be recorded all over the place if it was so.

reply

i just checked too and couldn't find any sources. oh well. i have heard that since i was a kid in the 70s. :/

reply

No clue nor does it matter. She was gorgeous and talented.

reply

True. I just have an interest in a person's ethnic background.

reply

Ok

reply

to me her profile pic here favors shirley maclain. when they were both young.

OH! and, shirley was a dancer too! hmmmm
