    Wondering what it makes you think that

    Her tiny Italian ancestry actually comes from a Norman village in Southern Italy, this might rule out any Mediterranean influence.

    Obvious Swiss-German heritage with a Danish overlay. I’m guessing this is the new Baywatch woman.

    why “Sicilian” if her ancestors were from Campania?
