Her eyes color is brown. I’ve seen and I know a lot of Swedes, Germans, and English with brown eyes. You think we caucasians are perfect. Blue eyes and blond hair is unusual even in Europe.

correction
Hi Follers, I cant find the connection between Bridgit and the paternal Grandparents. Can you tell me where that is?
Admin
Yeah, if you go to peoplefinders, you’ll see Bridgit and her parents, Sandra Ford Mendler and Edward Charles Mendler III, are the only Mendlers listed in Mill Valley (some websites incorrectly call her parents Harry Mendler and Leah, but I can find no evidence that such people exist).
I guess I should have put in that her mother’s name was “Ford”, but it didn’t seem to tell me much.
Edward Charles Mendler, the first, the second, and III, were / are the only people with such names to ever live in the U.S., as far as I can tell. So clearly her dad, Edward Charles Mendler III, was the son of Edward Charles Mendler, Jr.
no luck finding her on peoplefinders. what search term did you use?
you think you know everything about ethnicities @follers
I admit I don’t know her, a huge part of “celebs” in the site are completely unknown to an European audience or ppl from anywhere out of US
Not only USA.
Do you know, who is Gundis Zambo?
Schould be a “celebrity”, too
And Sarah Nuru
I found her profile somewhere in the site, I dont think she’s so famous
that’s an unusual name for a German actress. Actually I googled her name coz I havent a clue. Wiki says “with austrian and hungarian origin”..interesting
