Why does the sister look full Asian?


She should look half Asian and half white like Steve.

I think that question was answered somewhere around 1984, when "The Cosby Show" came out.... or was it 1977 and "Eight is Enough." At least "Bonanza" had an explanation for their casting decisions.

It's TV people...nobody on TV looks like their "family"...

Guess you never watched anything with the Olsen twins! They look like family!!

I am still trying to figure out the family tree of The Partridge Family. Shirley Partridge must have slept around, since her kids run the gamut of blond, brunette, red haired, and possibly Hispanic (but just for one season).
