She can be compared to the German actress Marlene Dietrich for an idea of differences. Though both have blond hair, Renee is less Saxon in bone and facial structure than Marlene. Renee's Saxon and Mongolian mixed look is very common in Norway. In Germany, the eastern European look meets Saxon as opposed to the Lapps or Sami meets Saxon. Germans can look like Austrian Arnold Scharzenegger or Germans Friedrich Nietzsche and Albert Einstien or Turkish actress Hülya Koçyiğit.

There really is not a "one look fits all" Germans. There is a lot of variation in Germany as anywhere.
