I know her from the Teen Movie, she was so beautiful in that. Curious to see someone with recent Danish ancestry having dark eyes like that, but her other features match her Scandinavian and British heritage.

Also her mom Yvonne Marie Norton with her dad in the marriage census familysearch https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QP91-63V7?lang=en. Also in the geni page it says Yvonne Marie maiden is Menjou and that she is married to someone named frank Norton. That’s all I could find on her mother if anybody could find her parents

I may have missed something, but how do you know that’s her grandfather?
Her (Chyler’s) father is a man from Sidney, Montana named Robert Potts, born in either 1939 or 1940 (based on his graduation year). Her uncle is called Brent Potts.

This man has both a son named Robert the exact same age (according to 1940. census Robert Jr was 0 years old) and a son called Brent, and he’s from Sidney, Montana.
Is her hair dark brown or dark red?
I honestly can’t tell, and it bothers me.
I think she’s really pretty.
