her ethnic background? I know she's English but her looks, especially her complexion make me think that she has latin/mediterranean or even asian ancestry.
I don't know art, but I know what I like. -

I don't know, I think many "pure" ethnic English or Welsh people can look vaguely Middle Eastern or Asiatic. -

I always laugh when I read the comments about "Spanish Armada" descendants especially the people who claim that Black Irish descend from Spanish Armada refugees.
Either way, to me Caroline just looks like a hot English woman. I've been to the Mediterranean, from Portugal and Greece to Egypt an5b4d Morrocco and I have to say that Caroline doesn't stirke me as somone who has origins there.

Bourbon:
Your comments intrigue me; I have always associated 'British' women with being 'light skinned': Very pale with lighter features; but Being Greek myself & have a 'Spanish' (By way of Cuba via the Canaries) Wife, I was just wondering as Ms. Munro just doesn't match the look I'm used toI mean take Rhona Mitra or Gabrielle Anwar for example.

Well, I think it's important to keep in mind that she was probably often made up to look like she had a darker complexion for movies where she played "exotic" types, like her roles in Sinbad, Kronos, and At the Earth's Core. If you check out the Phibes movies, her skin is somewhat paler. Of course, there they might have deliberately made her look pale for obvious reasons. Still, I've always assumed that was closer to her original coloring than what we see in her Middle Eastern slave girl and gypsy roles. Her complexion's also rather fair in Dracula AD. And also, during the '70s and '80s, when I guess you could say she was in her prime, tanning was all the craze, so the darker coloring may have been more cultivated than the coloring she was acutually born with.
Still, tan or pale, the woman is bloody gorgeous. But that's already been established, huh?
