I had no idea Liza was judy’s daughter.However now looking at their faces,I don’t see how I didn’t notice
To ethnic – you mean all 391? Haha. A couple of comments I made today all went into moderation, but they’re up now.
this woman is and had been awesome
she looks like a typical italian woman
her nose is a sicilian one
So Vincente Minnelli was just 1/4 Italian? Wikipedia says “Minnelli’s Chicago-born mother was of French Canadian descent with a strong probability of Native American (Anishinaabe) lineage included via her Mackinac Island, Michigan born mother.”
Are you sure? All the ones in moderation are edits to posts.

It’s actually ITALIAN not sicilian, her blood might be from sicilia but sicilia isn’t a country so someone should change this to ITALIAN and not sicilian. I have sicilian blood myself but I don’t say sicilian I say italian.
