Catalina Sandino Moreno is a Colombian actress. Her roles include the films Maria Full of Grace, Journey to the End of the Night, Paris, je t’aime, Fast Food Nation, The Hottest State, Che, Magic Magic, Swelter, Incarnate, and The Quarry, and the shows The Affair and From.
She is the daughter of Martha Moreno and Raúl Sandino. Catalina is married to David Elwell, with whom she has one child.
She is the first person born in the 1980s to have been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress (for Maria Full of Grace, 2004). Anna Paquin is the first person born in the decade to have received an acting nomination, Best Supporting Actress in 1993, which she won.
Catalina, Yalitza Aparicio (for Roma, 2018), Ariana DeBose (for West Side Story, 2021), Ana de Armas (for Blonde, 2022), and America Ferrera (for Barbie, 2023), are thus far the only actors of Latin-American descent born after 1980 to have been nominated for an acting Oscar, with Ariana winning.
“I’m a real Euro from Europe”: fai ridere i polli. Vieni da un posto piuttosto esotico nel contesto europeo, dove i locali sono stati oltretutto studiati per le loro caratteristiche somatiche peculiari (i Beridi appunto), quindi ripetere quella frasetta è esilarante.
Ah, visto che me lo hai chiesto alcune volte, vengo dalla Toscana.
Si in effetti sono sudamericano perché non ho mai sentito la parola “scrauso”. Giuro.
Si i sardi sono oggetti di vari studi da sempre: linguistici, genetici, archeologici, antropologici.
Un patrimonio culturale unico, mentre te spari cagate su Spagnoli e Arabi.
To put it bluntly: finding a Venezuelan, or— in a broader sense, a Latin American with ancestry within the country going back at least 75 years (and I’m being generous here), and excluding immigrants, with NO Amerindian admixture at all, is like finding a needle in a haystack; this also includes people who primarily identify themselves with their African heritage. She simply doesn’t have facial features that could have come from a European source. There are few fully European descended Latin Americans—she’s not one of them.
Mix is mix. Check the Spanish caste system that particular mixture is called “Harnizo”. And Only the “Criollos” were considered the same as Spaniards ethnically.
And just FYI neither Eva Longoria nor Jessica Alba are of direct Spanish descent because they are Women and women don’t carry or pass down to their children paternal lineage Y DNA. Jessica’s mexican dad paternal line belongs to Haplogroup Q which is Native American in origin not Spanish and she is mostly of Northwest european ancestry because her mom is a white-Canadian. Eva Longoria belongs to Haplogroup A2 which means she descends from a Native American Woman.
Spanish women belong to Haplogroup H which is a Europe haplogroup.
looks full southern spanish
Oh can it! U don’t know — — you dumb —
She is part Amerindian, Jonas.
any credible source to back that up? cuz i dont see any evidence of that, given the fact that Bogotá is mostly white spaniard(especially at the time she was born), besides she does not look a bit native calombian, there are spanish women darker and with more ”ethnic” features than her
The credible source is her appearence that screams Amerindian influence.
seeing more pics of her i can see a bit of native but just a little, still she looks very spaniard, also would not be surprised if there is some distant middle eastern also, but she can’t be less than 75% Spaniard, she has strong Penolope Cruz vibes…
Less misleading pics of her:

Looks neither Thai or Filipino lol, she is just a castiza.
Do you consider this woman European or not ?

If we judge someone according to his appearance then this woman will not be a European at all
NOT at all! LOL typical male that gets fooled by Make-up. Make-up helps lightens the face/skin and there is make-up technics that help narrow the face & nose and these harnizas are notorious for dying their hair brown from their natural black hair. But even with the makeup and hair dye those —– black eyes don’t lie it’s a staple of mestizo ancestry not sure how you can miss that! I first saw her in Maria Full of Grace where she plays a drug mule and is all-natural, no makeup and you can clearly see the Amerindian-mestizo admixture. Pretty brown girls like her tend to be Harnizo types so they range having 26-35% Native-american admixture like eva longoria and Jessica alba.
both Eva and Jessica are largelly spaniard proven by genetic testing and documented ancestry, so you kinda proved my point that, dispite having native admixture, she is still mostly spaniard, full or mostly native people dont look like her at all
