    also here we go again with “English, possibly other”: “Miller” have multiple origins. I understand the Jewish rumour being his father a banker and having a surname which can be Jewish.

    No idea she was half South African. Her mother speaks Afrikaans so she might be an Afrikaner but you have to manage to find her surname

    correction; she’s a bottle blonde, her hair is dark at the roots
