I have blood from Dutch and Norwegian.

Through the years, I found we had Native American blood in us. My great-grandmother came from the island of Martinique, and they hooked up with the Native Americans of Louisiana.

My parents were French and Irish and our family even has Spanish blood-and I do so love the United States and consider myself part American.

I'm actually half Brit and half American. I have a British father and an American mother, but as far as I'm aware, no Middle Eastern blood.

Nationality is a very curious thing. The blood is Scots and the temperament is Scots, but I am, in fact, 100% American.

I have Chinese blood in me... I am not ashamed to admit that perhaps the great leaders of our country all have Chinese blood.

I discovered that there is Indian blood in my ancestry on my father's side - a fact that had not been talked about in my family. No wonder I've often been cast in exotic roles - Indian princesses, Russian revolutionaries, Algerians, Gypsies and Greeks.

Being Indian is not blood as much as it is culture.
