She has native american from her mother side
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcheline_Bertrand
but wiki gets that info from IMDB which isnt a great source.
Ok, this is one woman I think definitely has Native American and probably black lineage. She should do her DNA. I am convinced there is more exotic mixture going on there: her coloring etc.
Right, she’s black. lol! She looks exotic because she has Slavic cheekbones and pouty French lips. She’s a purely European woman!
I’m french, and I live in France. Fren peoples don’t have big lips. Only french with creoles origin or portuguese, sicilian, spanish and southern europa origin , have big lips.
To Rockxxz
You know I forgot that a lot of Louisiana Creoles went to france

@ ZOE! i agree
interesting why on “wargs” in EXTRACTS from the US FEDERAL DECENNIAL CENSUS, together with Canada-French, Germany, Holland, also write Russia, Austria and Poland? She has many slavic surenames in her ancestry, so may be shes also little part Russian and Polish? http://www.wargs.com/other/voight.html
I think the Slavic names are from her Slovak ancestry.
