Beautiful Native American Women

I've done Bollywood, almost every country in Asia and some in the Middle East.
So let's go home for this Hub, back to the USA.
And you can't get any more American than Native American.
Beautiful Native American women have played a big part in our entertainment culture even though you may not have realized it.
Legendary American actress and singer Pearl Bailey was of Native American desent.
Entertainer and actress and the first African American female to star in a major motion picture, Josephine Baker, was part Apalachee.
Multiple Grammy Award winning American vocalist, Rita Coolidge is Cherokee. She even created a Native American music trio, Walela.
Jeanne Cooper who played Katherine Chancellor on The Young and the Restless...Cherokee.
Legendary actress and singer Lena Horne...part Cherokee.
Actress and singer Della Reese...half Cherokee.
So here are some more beautiful Native American women you might know more about......

Cher
Of course Cher had the hit Half-Breed (it was her second number one hit as a solo artist) and if you were alive back then and had a pulse, you remember Cher sitting on the horse singing the song on The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour back in 1973. You can still see the video on YouTube.
I had forgotten what a knock out she was back then.
Cher's father was Armenian and her mother was of Cherokee, English and French descent.

Kari Wührer
One of my favorite B-Movie actresses of all time, Kari Wührer, is part Cherokee.
Okay, a lot of it has to do with her being Tanya in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2, but my love for C&C is well recorded.
