The question of origin is a bit hazy in the air, but Dana Ruh, the German-American singer, certainly did originate from Germany. She is listed as German by the American Family History Institute and lists herself at 4.1 inches. If you’re going by what I’ve read on her resume, however, her real nationality is probably Netherlands.
Height is one of those things where we can pretty much see the answer right off the bat. Ruh certainly isn’t an out short woman; she is, after all, standing at 5 feet tall and wearing heels. But nationality is more involved here. Can you really be sure that Dana Ruh is German or Dutch?
Her birth certificate lists her as German, but other records do not. And so, her nationality may be either German or Dutch, or it may be neither. There’s no definite way to tell exactly where she came from because her birth place was somewhere in between, and she was likely sold and brought up in different parts of the USA. And her occupation doesn’t really say a lot either, as she was most likely a cab girl and was married several times over the years. Nationality issues aside, it’s pretty clear that Dana Ruh is German and that she is a very fit person with a European accent.
