Classify half Brazilian half French actress Laly Meignan

[Valmont]

Hey guys,

Hope eveyone is doing well today!

Laly Meignan (real name Eulalie Meignan) was born in 1968 in Boulogne Billancourt to a French father and a Brazilian mother.

She is probably better known to French audiences for her role in (super corny) sitcom Hélène et les Garçons.

How would you guys classify her? Where would she fit? I see some Alpine and Mediterranean but I'm curious to see if you guys can see anything else.

Here are a few pictures of the show so that we can all remember the awesome outfits of the 90s!

I also included the credit for a good laugh!

Do you think she stands out?

I wonder what her brazilian mother was cause she looks plenty of french to me, esp the 90s pic

[Tobi]

To me is alpine + med. She looks quite typical for France, imo.

[Linet]

She seems like a full French woman to me :icon_cheers:

I couldn't find any pictures of her mother. She always mentions being Brazilian in every single interview and even her character in the show was Brazilian. She doesn't strike me as exotic, but she was definitely the most Mediterranean of all the female characters in the show (the girl with curly hair has a Spanish sounding name)

Her mother is probably of iberian extraction.

Possibly, many brazilians are of full European descent. Could be the case for her mother. I was wondering if you guys could see some extra-European input but apparantly not. :)

Here are more modern pictures of her (in her late forties). Blonde hair doesn't look natural at all on her imo

I googled her. Find some things in portuguese to you. Is her father a noble?

If he is, this post is about her mother and have one single pic: http://www2.uol.com.br/omossoroense/1511/entrevista.htm

And this man is a relative of her mother :

They are from northeast, mixed ones, but she looks fully euro to me.

I don't speak or read Portuguese but if I understood the article well that woman is 64 which would make her a bit old. Eulalie (Laly) Meignan was born in 1968 and has always been an actress, I don't think she ever ran any neuro-anything department for any clinic (I doubt she would have the skills for it haha)

It is probably someone who shares her last name. According to Laly Meignan's (French) wikipedia page she was born in Boulogne Billancourt

According the article this woman (Maria Laly Carneiro Meignan) married with a french noble, live in Paris and have one daughter who is a famous actress in France. In my opinion she is the mother of Laly Meignan, not Laly . :)

Nice.

Oh I stand corrected. Obrigado for the link! I don't know if her father is a noble but it could be. Great find! :)

She looks fully euro to me too.
