One of her garndfathers was rumored to be African American. Since there is no real paper work to find out, he very well could have been.

hmmm-Makes me wonder if that rumor was actually rascist in origin since it was a frequent way to stop people from getting respect and work back then. Of course it may be true...but-It was used back in the 20's,30's to keep politicians from being elected. Guess some things never change-it's like 'Obama's a secret Muslim'-and other false rumors you can still hear.

There is a rumor that she was black herself, they say her gandfather was a lightskinned black man who "passed" for white.
