Celebrities sharing the same heritage:
Carpenter yet again English but classed as something else
Great looking actress. Though my enjoyment of her (on Buffy) was somewhat dampened by my desire for her to move out of the way so I could get a better view of Willow. (Willow…)
When she went to Angel it was much better. No conflict (til Fred anyway. Fred…) That and they wrote her character as less shallow. Eventually.
Wikipedia’s source is not very reliable either. A majority of sites on the web say that she is Cherokee, Spanish, Scottish, French, German and Irish.
You can’t really trust/rely on IMDB.com because anyone can edit it. Same as wikipedia, but wikipedia has sources. She really is Irish, Cherokee, and Spanish. references at Wikipedia.org
