What ethnic makeup exactly is Michelle?

#1 Post by Cagliostro »

So I’m rewatching Magnum and just got to the part of Memories Are Forever where Colonel Ki is talking with General Hue and accuses Michelle of being the Tiger, Hue says he hates her because she’s French and worked in a South Vietnamese hospital. So I got curious, I always thought she was Franco-Vietnamese, now I’m wondering am I wrong is she just straight up French?

She’s part French and part Vietnamese. In “Little Girl Who,” Higgins comments (when Magnum asks him who he thinks Lily looks like) that you can see “her mother’s Oriental heritage.”

(Of course, Kristen Carreira is Hispanic but that’s not important right now)

Thank you, that’s what I thought!
