She stands it well for 52! I'd have said she was about 40-45.

Anyway, I think she's Mediterranean and Nordid so Atlantid/North-Atlantid.

Very Cromagnid features. Looks like a dark Dalofaelid. The dark pigmentation could come from an Atlantid source, but i don't see any Mediterranid facial features, so i don't think so. So i would say mostly Dalofaelid.

The nose looks like it had surgery on it.

Faelid with such a nose? No way, although it could have had surgery on it, as you said, but I doubt it. At least not enough to alter the overall impression much. But I agree that she looks very Cromagnid.

I'd guess Faelid+Atlantid or lets rather say "Mediterranoid", because I've got the feeling that Atlantid is simply overused or used in the wrong context.

You may be right. On further examination, the nasal area is too long for a Cromagnoid only classification. This could hint at Nordid/Atlantid/AM/Dinarid admixture.

Although i still find the nasal shape really odd.

I agree with you on the overuse of the "Atlantid" description. When a subject has dark hair, but no other visible Mediterrani(o)d features, it almost always gets a (part)Atlantid classification, while dark(er) pigmentation could also derive from for example an Alpinid or Dinarid source.

I've seen that kind of nose shape on Dinarids here in southern Germany. You may think it's the seemingly depressed tip and the very compressed nostrils which might give an "odd" appearence. Haven't found anything distinct on surgery, but then again you never know with those celebrities.


Even if those people had Mediterranoid facial features together with dark hair, it still doesn't necessarily hint to Atlantid, at least not in the way Agrippa defined that term, in my opinion. I think the term they're looking for might be Atlanto-Nordid or simply robust Mediterran(o)id.
