She's half black.

Do your eyes not work?

So?

Oh wow. I had no idea. That's why she aged so well. Black people's skin (for the most part) is much more resistant to the sun, and as a result takes much longer to age than white people's skin.

She's taken roles as white women, and why not?

I vaguely remember one family drama from the 1990s, where she played Brendan Fraser's sister. They were both supposed to be Jewish, if I remember correctly.
