It’s from her father that she got her unusual looks, she says, which often cause people to think she’s South American. “My father was dark skinned, because he was
Tatar. Sometimes Tatars can look Brazilian,” she says. “I get my light eyes from my mother.” Irina has a pet dog named Cesare, a
Lab who, she claims, was fathered by one of the dogs who played the title role in
Marley & Me.
