There's no way you look at her and think that she's half black.

reply

[–] Befus (494) 3 years ago

Bro sometimes she looks full black. I've always known her as "that black chick from that 80s dance movie.

She looks Italian

Funny thing, I always thought the same.

Not true. Many people picked up on her not being white when she made Flashdance. She looks black because of her eye shape and facial bone structure. Ditto Tai Babliona and Mariah Carey.

So?

reply

[–] samoanjoes (57071) 3 years ago

Just something I found out.

Oh wow. I had no idea. That's why she aged so well. Black people's skin (for the most part) is much more resistant to the sun, and as a result takes much longer to age than white people's skin.

I found out when someone referred to her as an African American actress and thought they were wrong.

She's taken roles as white women, and why not?

I vaguely remember one family drama from the 1990s, where she played Brendan Fraser's sister. They were both supposed to be Jewish, if I remember correctly.

She's no less Jewish than Brendan Fraser.
