Classify/pass 2 mixed race 1950's Hollywood actresses

[arkas]

Anna Kashfi - British and Indian

Possibly half Anglo and Bengali but her family history is a mystery because she was born in British India but allegedly adopted by Welsh parents.

Maureen Hingert - Sri Lankan and Dutch

Was born in Sri Lanka and seems to be another product of the colonial era. Was an actress and represented Sri Lanka in Miss Universe, back when it was known as Ceylon.

What region of India or anywhere outside of India can either pass as a local?

[NSXD60]

She favors her non-White parent.

She favors her non-White parent.

There are two different girls, they look quite similar I suppose.

[NSXD60]

Exactly

[zhaoyun]

Strange, the first woman actually looks part black and white.

The second woman looks like she'd be Malay.

Interesting, you don't see Indian/Sri Lankan at all?

1st one doesnt really look typical for any region. Has features from both sides but could pass as atypical uppercaste in the entire subcontinent.

2nd one does look oriental shifted. I've seen some pahari, nepali and few bengali/assamese girls like her so i would say that region for her. srilankan sinhalese are linked to bengalis so thats where her oriental look comes from I guess.

Your comments on the 2nd girl was everything I thought about the first girl, oddly enough.

Oh interesting.

actually I think some bengali brahmins are similar to the first one. She has some oriental influence as well based on the first pic.

The second one looks more nepali though imo. I could see central asian like vibe as well for the second one.

I mainly saw South Indian influence in the second one, Tamil or Malayali, but mainly cos she reminds me of one of my aunties lol

[Mortimer]

Two beautiful women i dont know the classification though

[Kamal900]

I guess they can pass for gypsies in Europe.

[Thambi]

I guess they can pass for gypsies in Europe.

The first one maybe, but definitely doubt if the second one could pass.

[Mortimer]

I think they look a bit different then gypsies but could pass

[zhaoyun]

I can when I look for it, those are my first impressions.

[Khamzat]

Both can pass as fully Indian, the first one I see Euro influence in the eye region but the second I see nothing euro. They both pass in Bangladesh and india

[arkas]

Bump

[Mortimer]

to me they also look more indian then euro, the euro i see in the lighter skintone. to me they are a bit different then gypsies but could pass because passing is broad, in serbia they would probably be guessed as gypsy maybe sometimes. even mullato brasilians were mistaken in serbia sometimes visitors.

typical gypsy women (ex-wife of my uncle and a friend of hers)

They kind of reminds me of some Lebanese Australians I see. Gypsies to me look mostly European or sometimes like a-typical MENA's.

a noticeable trait is their dark skin. i think that makes stand out alot from european, they have dark skin black hair and often dark eyes.

The lady to the right looks non-sylheti bengali af. The one 2 the left looks like a young sylheti woman I know. Pigmentation is very similar as well barring the moles.
