Hayden has said:

My mom is from Kentucky and my [paternal] grandmother is from Corpus Christi, so I had a better understanding of the South than the average person moving from New York. At my core, this is the kind of person I am and want to be. I like being in a place where people appreciate the little things and don’t need a lot of stuff to be happy. You can put a group of Southerners in any scenario and they’ll have a good time.

    She looks very Italian to me, more northern Italian. She definetly has the body of a northern Italian. I see no French in her at all and she says she is Italian, never mentioned French.

    • Sarsari87 says:

      Sure, because sourtnern italians have different shapes than northens?? What are you saying? Does German, England and France also apply to your theory or is it only a stereotype for Italy?

    She’s blonde, but either way she looks mediterranean.
    Very beautiful.

    • jenny says:

      while southern italian are mediterranean, can you see the difference between hayden panettiere and demi moore? who looks more mediterranean? she doesn’t look at all mediterranean.

      north italians are alpine, then in north italy there is more blonde than any states in america. try to check this cities in north italy
      south tyrol,valle d’aosta,treviso,trieste,brescia,bolzano,cremona,milan,veneto,ligury,brianza,and many other city in the north

      then the most common hair and eye color in all europe is dark brown and black and the only two place with the majority of blonde are finland and russia.

      also scandinavian aren’t pure at all they are all descent (back roots) from mongrel and every person that has a little knowledge about anthropology know that.

      then the roman empire (italy) conquered and slaved uk for 350 years,austria for 400 years,part of germany,france,belgium,they made switzerland, and the rest the rest of europe, so outside scandinavia every country in europe have a big chance to carry an ancestry from the roman like it or not.
      then the romans was considered nordic pure race at the time (check augustus emperor blonde and blue eyes and many others roman figure)
      then sorry but america has the less % of scandinavian ancestry on the people

      “white american are made by germans,british,italian,french,irish,polish,……..
      germans are the largest european ancestry in usa,than british,than irish,than italian,than french,……….

      then the term caucasian are refereed to every european person
      so every country inside europe is white caucasian, there are only three groups in the world caucasian,mongrel and negroid.

      than italy was divided until 150 years ago and didn’t even exist i
      north italy is way different than south and central italy by physical looks of the people,genetic,history,language,cuisine and culture

    Unfortunately her tatoo is wrong: correct word is rimpianti, not rimipianti.
