Rachelle Lefevre is a Canadian actress who played the role of Victoria in the 2008 movie Twilight. She was born to a father of French and Irish descent and mother of Jewish heritage. She talks about her father’s Irish heritage in a Twilight interview and stated that her grandmother was from Northern Ireland.

She also expressed an interest in obtaining a European passport to enable her to live and work in Europe. Unfortunately as the hospital where her grandmother was born had burned down, there are no records to let her obtain a passport.

The Montreal Gazzette article states her maternal grandparents are Jewish.

Ah, here is where careful reading has to come in.

The Montreal Gazzette article clearly states her maternal grandparents are Jewish. However, re:the Northern Irish thing – in the interview, she doesn’t say it was her ”maternal” grandmother who was Irish. Rather, she mentions her father in relation to that, implying that it was her ”paternal” grandmother who was Irish.

So, that adds up to her father being French and Irish, and her mother Jewish.

I agree.

“My father will be very upset that I couldn’t remember the name of the small town where she’s from..” Seems to imply that her Irish grandmother, was her father’s mother.

I wonder where her Jewish family comes from..
