Looks Lebanese or Assyrian. Could easily pass as these two.
I miss her and the soap opera passions. I used to think her character was a bit nutty tho. That was a cool soap.
I bet she’s more greek than Italian. Can totally understand the latina roles she plays.
greek or italian is not confirmed though
I doubt she made it up.
how many Greeks are there in Southern California? I also don’t buy Pia Mia Perez is 1/4 Italian, even though anything is possible.
Of course not. God forbid that Greek & Italians would look as dark as her. Must be her Jewish side. Because you know, Jews are from the Middle East and they will be dark.
Greeks and Italians look like Swedes! So she can’t be Italian/Greek. She’s too dark, so she CAN’T! Okay?

Looks totally European.
Yes, South East European.
