Could these two Danish actresses pass as either Spanish or Italian?

[Cristiano viejo]

Both, clearly.

[Sikeliot]

Spanish or northern Italian, but not southern Italian. I'll generally say more Spanish though.

[mikeyup]

i think both could... but i think the first one passes better

[Tooting Carmen]

I should clarify that, where it says "both" or "neither" in the poll, I mean "both Spanish and Italian" and "neither Spanish nor Italian".

[Sikeliot]

I think the first looks more Italian and the second more Spanish, but collectively they'd be better as Spanish.

Sofie Grabol even reminds me a bit of Spanish actress Rossy de Palma.

Maybe, but de Palma is precisely an Italian surname...

It's not her real surname.

All my life thinking that her name was de Palma... amazing...

[Tooting Carmen]

Any more votes and suggestions?

[Newsboy]

They look southern European! Voted both.

Atypical for Scandinavian standards.

Sidse Babett Knudsen looks distinctly Northern European in my opinion.

[Ulla]

Her real name is Rosa Elena García Echave, Rossy de Palma is a stage name, De Palma means from Palma (de Maiorca).

[Ulla]

Both, clearly.

Agree, both in both countries.

[Ulla]

Her real name is Rosa Elena García Echave
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rossy_de_Palma

ah, sorry. You already wrote it.

[Cristiano viejo]

Her real name is Rosa Elena García Echave, Rossy de Palma is a stage name, De Palma means from Palma (de Maiorca).

Taking account that de Palma is a fictitious surname, why should de Palma means "from Mallorca"? is she from there?

[Guapo]

Both, clearly.

no

[Tooting Carmen]

no

Why not?

[Cristiano viejo]

no
Maybe for you. Yes for me and for Italians, it seems.

[Tooting Carmen]

Taking account that de Palma is a fictitious surname, why should de Palma means "from Mallorca"? is she from there?

Yes, it is her stage name in honour of her place of origin.

[Ulla]

Taking account that de Palma is a fictitious surname, why should de Palma means "from Mallorca"? is she from there?

It's my guess, but yes she was born in Palma de Mallorca.

[Guapo]

Why not?

Seriously...the first pic is bad and blurry in general, the second woman looks
Borreby/Baltoid. come on lolol

Deam on, so-called Celts

Albanian arguments.

[Guapo]

i have face like Albanian

fixed

Albanian are smarter than that.

The first woman looks pseudo-Basque to me. Furthermore, don't you think the second woman looks a bit like Clara Alonso?

[Guapo]

swarthy complexed bimbo

[Tooting Carmen]

Please may we stick to topic and remain respectful?

[Cristiano viejo]

Albanian are smarter than that.
I have my doubts... but yes, Guapo is not too smart, thats sure.

[Guapo]

I have my doubts... but yes, Guapo is not too smart, thats sure.

No doubt you have major complex issues about your own people, swarthy spick

[Ulla]

:picard1:

[Ulla]

That's sure, I agree.

[Comte Arnau]

The question should rather be "How typical would these women be in...?" because, truly speaking, most Europeans can pass in any other European country.

This said, the second woman looks very Danish to me.

A more realistic answer finally

[Tooting Carmen]

Um...no. It depends on the pairing.

[Comte Arnau]

Um...no. It depends on the pairing.

Your opinion.

I've got my own, based on personal European experience.

[Tooting Carmen]

Your opinion.

I've got my own, based on personal European experience.

So most Scandinavians and Baltic people, at least when seen individually, can pass in Spain? Yeah, whatever.

[Comte Arnau]

The Baltic type would probably be the most uncommon type. But that doesn't mean you can't find it natively here and there from time to time.

But hey, feel free to think whatever you like. As if I cared.

Ignore "it"

[alnortedelsur]

The first one would pass in Spain and Italy.

But the second one, not that much. I don't know... but there is something in her features that stick out in southern Europe. Because I think she is some kind of Boberry or something like that.

The only Iberian people that would have somewhat similar features, would be some people with some Baskid influence, like the Spanish-Basque singer Amaia Montero:

http://www.theapricity.com/forum/showthread.php?110100-Classify-This-Cute-Female-Spaniard-Singer-Amaia-Montero-From-Basque-Country-Spain&highlight=amaia+montero

but still, they would not look exactly the same.

[Peter Nirsch]

not much

[Paunovic]

maybe the first one, but the second one would be a guri (not mediterranean) in Spain, although she could be the kind of germanic italian you can find in the north of Italy.
