I don't think he was involved in her life as she grew up

He got her mother pregnant at the age of 14, left her in poverty then grudgingly admitted paternity on his deathbed.

I'm dying of curiosity to see a (good) pic of Vin Diesel's twin now. Darn it all!

The first link in Blk's post gives a good picture of Vin's twin. All I can say is that Mamma Vincent has two gay sons.

I had no idea Cameron Diaz was multi-racial.

You ain't kidding. I knew about Etta James and Minnesota Fats (I don't think he was involved in her life as she grew up), but I'm surprised to hear about Carol Channing. I went to Wikipedia, and the story there is that her father's background was half German, half African. Carol didn't know until she was grown.

In this pic of a young Carol, she looks like Tori Spelling!

I'm blown away by Carol Channing. She definitely looked mixed when she was younger. Not so much now. But wow...she was gorgeous.

Had no idea Minnesota Fats was Etta James' father. Wait till I ask my mother and Gran.
