Does this old actress look Sicilian?

[Sikeliot]

Thelma Ritter

I do not know what her ethnicity was.

Yup.

[Corded]

YES

[Zroota]

Not a stereotypical Sicilian, no.

She looks French and can even pass as a 'dark' featured Brit.

I don't think so. When I first saw her I thought Jewish first.

She looks Jewish as well. But I wouldn't be surprised if she was that paleo-Atlantid, west coast, dark Brit as well.

To me she looks south Italian, Ashkenazi, even Sephardi or Cypriot. I would be surprised if she is British American. Ritter is a German surname, but she doesn't look German.

Then again I have seen people from the Galway region in Ireland who look extremely Greek (why, I do not know) so it is not impossible to me that a full German could look stereotypically Sicilian.

She reminds me of some half Sicilian/half Central European people I know.

You are all on hallucinogens or some intoxicant. She looks standard central or northwestern Euro. I have an aunt who resembles her. And that ain't a Jewish nose, plus her features are more chiseled and her head more rectangular than rounded.
