Good heavens! Doesn't any VDO fan remember her from Mr. Wonderful? I remember her from that film. And she was in some CBS drama where she was a judge or something...I feel sooo weird that I first guessed her as the choice back in February. I just guesses her because the other names made me think of her. LOL!!! Hmmm I agree with Patcat...Another Italian/Irish pairing...and, another 6'4"/5'2" pairing! hehehe!!! I'm surprised to learn Noth is Irish. I always thought (Don't laugh at me!!!) Noth looked Slavic or Turkish in ethnicity because of his eyes. I read on a fan site the name Noth is Altasian (Sp?). Tried to google it but come up empty-handed! Anyone know the correct word and/or what it means? And Noth was supossed to be on the Today show this morning. Wasn't there...! |

The word is Alsatian – which I only know because for a while, when Hitler made all things German unpopular in the US and Britain, people started calling German Shepherd Dogs “Alsatians” to avoid having Germany’s bad rep rub off on the dogs.
The word refers to an area, Alsace, that lies along the border where France comes together with Germany and Switzerland. I think it’s one of those regions that was fought over and claimed by various kingdoms in various periods of Europe’s history, but it now belongs to France.
That whole area of Europe, including northern Italy as well, was largely Celtic until late in Roman times, when the Germanic tribes swept in. There remained a lot of Celtic (Gaelic/Gallic) influence in the bulk of Gaul (France), but I don’t know if that applies to Alsace as well.
I’m curious... I had gotten the impression that Logan was identified as Scottish. He’s Irish?
