  1. This is such a fascinating article, because these are people we all know of in our every day life, and it turns out that they are all munticultural!

  2. Always great to learn about where people came from and what their history is. I might have to do some more digging on some of these peoples’ stories!

  3. I don’t think very many people are aware of how many TCKs and culturally and ethnically blended celebrities are out there.  It’s nice to see such a diverse group of people represented in this article!

  4. I love fun facts like these! I would have never guessed that these celebrities were multi-cultural.
