Thought she was Irish


But her bio page here at IMDb states she was born in America.
What the hell, she certainly looks Irish to me... Is she of Irish or Celtic ancestry?
Am I cuckoo or does anyone agree?

Never heard anything about her Irish roots.
Most of the guessing here, you see, is about her being a daughter of Meryl Streep......

Her mother is an English actress Rosemary Harris - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosemary_Harris. (Her grandmother was Romanian).
And her father is from USA - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Ehle

Thanks for the info, gorye.
I've seen some of her Cinema and on-screen works (Pride & Prejudice and Wilde among my all time favourites) and I always thought she had an Irish face, can't say why actually...

Her last name's German.

An Irish face? What features are unique to an Irish face??

reply

Dunno.
Just a way of saying she looks Celtic to me.
Ok?

And what makes someone look Celtic?

Why are you nitpicking my posts, pray tell?

You must have got what I meant.
No offence intended, it was a compliment, rather.

I honestly didn't get what you meant. I'm just curious to know how you could look at a face and think it was of a certain nationality. And Irish in particular.
