Beautiful Women of Russia

Beautiful Women of Russia

When you see the term "Beautiful Russian Women", most likely what pops into your head are all the Russian women and mail order brides advertisements you see online.
(From what I can see, the Russian women dating services are extremely popular...LOL).
But  the entertainment world is full of beautiful women that are Russian or of Russian descent.
For instance...
Pamela Anderson...Russian ancestry on her mother's side.
Phoebe Cates... her maternal grandmother and father were of Russian Jewish origin.
Carol Kane...her grandparents emigrated from Russia.
Mila Kunis...born in Kiev, Ukrainian SSR, before the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.
Milla Jovovich...also born in Kiev, Ukrainian SSR, before 1991.
Gwyneth Paltrow...her father was of Ashkenazi Russian Jewish descent.
Winona Ryder...her paternal grandparents were Jewish immigrants from Russia.
Nicole Scherzinger...her mother is Hawaiian and Russian.
Lesley Ann Warren...Her family was of Russian Jewish descent.
Natalie Wood...her parents were Russian immigrants.

And here are some more beautiful Russian woman that you may or may not have heard of...
