Lee van cleef was dutch and he was tanned. Dutch are a little darker anyway and are known for their dark hair…
Lee Van Cleef is def. atypical for a Dutch person. Dutch are NOT known for their dark hair, it’s actually the opposite.
Not true. Its a mixture of blonds, brown and dark hair people. I just took a look at this female dutch soccer team and they had a mixture. A few blonds, mostly brown haired. And a few black haired athletes.
it depends if that team is made of ethnic Dutch people.
anyhow Famke Janssen is just a Northern European with dark hair, there are these types in Norway too.
Of course they are. What do you expect them to be. Black? Lol

they’re all Dutch. I am surprised there are no North Africans, Blacks or other immigrants in the team.
No. LOL dutch. There isn’t a significant population of Africans in the Netherlands… or Europe for matter of fact. France has like the largest african population on Europe.
@cwm
You say Europe doesn’t. Have a significant black population.my question to you, is what do you consider significant?
She’s dark for a Dutch person, she looks Italian
bahahaha, you live in a imaginery world, her ”real” ethnicity is Dutch! and how can you be half Dutch, Indo and Swedish? That’s 150%.
Wikipedia claims that she has swedish background on the paternal side of her family. No sources though, could be interesting to find out about it (although im leaning towards not finding anything that can confirm it)
And well its only Swedish-language Wikipedia that mentions this short passage
I watched Goldeneye the other day. She was beautiful in it. That picture doesn’t do her justice.
She looks too dark too be Dutch she defiantly has Turkish ancestry there is Turkish people in Holland.
She is fully Dutch and doesn’t have any Turkish ancestry. There are Dutch that are have darker colouring than the average. It happens in all European populations.
First of all not all Dutch people have pale skin, many northern Europeans have tan skin. And there is a thing called tanning you know…
5ft 11.5in or 182 cm tall, quite Dutch
182 can be rounded off to 6’0″ even though it’s technically 183
