Most Germans don’t look like her. Liv Tyler is mostly German and she’s way more beautiful than Heidi, in my opinion

if she was born in 1973 – would that be EAST germany or WEST germany, since at that time the 2 countries were not yet reunified
of course, west

never mind. idiotic of me. big fault of the reporter to miss this important fact. her birthplace in 1973 was located in WEST germany. i was just curious. no bias intended. but would have been interesting to know if she grew up in communist controlled EAST germany. from one reporter to another, shame on missing this bio factoid.
