What is she? She is of Neopolitan origins.

[Æmeric]

No guesses? I think when she was younger she resembled a north + south Europid mixture, CM or Osteuropid + Mediterranid. As she aged she looked more exotic looking with something eastern. If I didn't know who she was I would place her further east then Italy, maybe Turkey or somewhere else in the Middle East with Mongolid influence.

Mediterranid and Armenoid; she looks like a Turk or a Jew to me.

[Absinthe]

It's very hard to tell because every decade, she looks different. :D

However, she reminds me of a friend of mine (actually my friend reminds me of her) who was classified on Skadi as west baltid/armenoid and was guessed as Polish and Romanian.

You've obviously haven't seen many (if any) of them.

Here is a typical mediterranid-armenoid Turkish woman:

Compare the above to Sophia Lauren:

She looks exotic, yes. She has possible armenoid admixture, YES.

But don't be so quick of categorizing everything dark and exotic/armenoid as Turkish or Jewish.

That been said, if I had to place her exoticness, I'd say Roma Gypsy. ;)

[Wildland]

There is probably a historical explanation of ancient tribes colonizing and settling south Italy and south Greece contributing with a slight different look from north Europeans that someone with that knowledge can explain, but at least I don't think there is a Roma Gypsy mix in the Europeans.
Who would like to give a way their son or daughter to people living in a ghetto and their way of life. And believe me that people 500-1000 years ago where much more racially aware than today.
But overall who says all ancient Indo-European white tribes where blue eyed Nordic looking?

There is great diversity among Turkish phenotypes; everything from Mediterranids, to Armenoids, and even Nordids. Loren looks much closer to this Turk I randomly selected...

...than this Gypsy.

than this Gypsy.

http://i35.tinypic.com/mmcxw8.jpgCouldn't any similarity between Loren & this gypsy be due to the fact that the gypsy probably has Europid admixture from Southeast Europe, rather then Loren being part Gypsy?

I don't think the Gypsy looks like Loren, but rather the latter more closely resembles the Turkish actress than the former. The Gypsy looks highly typical of an Indian woman. Her appearance certainly isn't the result of unusually swarthy Moorish or Negroid genes from some distant South-Eastern European ancestor manifesting themselves. In this case, the woman clearly has little to no European admixture. Loren looks Semitic, her phenotype reflects that, and given the history of migration and inter-marriage between Southern Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East, it makes sense.

Here is a typical mediterranid-armenoid Jewish woman:

A Latin American television anchorwoman, her name is Mirthala Salinas. What is Jewish about her?

Are you sure you've got the right person? They look very different to me.

Edit: Nver mind, apparently they are the same person.

[chap]

Her face shape is very Taurid (inverted triangle with shallow jutting jaw) like Paris Hilton, this is emphasising the zygomatic breadth, I don't think she looks Asiatic at all TBH.

[Spencer]

Medditeranian + Armenid with something else maybe...is what I would say. :D

[Aviane]

Eastern Mediterranean + Armenoid.

She could also be Romanian, Albanian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Greek, Cypriot, Turkish, Lebanese and Syrian.

[Princess of Heaven]

Mediterranid and Armenoid; she looks like a Turk or a Jew to me.

she's related with Mussolini, how can be a Jew?
In my opinion she has something oriental but not middle eastern she look from caucasus but mixed with western europeans.

[Anthropologique]

Armenoid with Levantine influences. Could pass anywhere from Greece to Syria / Lebanon.

[mymy]

Even if she has some Armenoid, she is still one of the most beautiful European women ever.

[Fra Baldracco]

Dinaro med,a real beauty,when she was younger of course..

[Peyrol]

Sofia Loren turca, armena o giudea...credo che con questo thread la stupidità e la pochezza intellettuale anglosassone yankee abbia raggiunto il culmine...la ciliegina mongola sulla torta della demenza.

[Ouistreham]

Face-lifted with heavy make-up, what else?...

Besides, classical Mediterranean with Dinarid influences and a slight Alpine shade. Which is pretty standard in Italy, and has always been. At least since Etruscan times :

Large and somewhat slanted eyes have been common place in Italy since the dawn of times, and are fully indigenous.

Nothing Jewish, Armenoid or Gypsy in it.

[Sikeliot]

She has more of a Greek vibe than Levantine or Caucasus but I see what some of you mean.

[Svartálfar]

Gracile med+Alpine/CM.

[Equilibrium]

Her zygomatic and jawline are unmistakable Armenoid. Also the lower lip.
