Wow! I thought that was common knowledge by now but at least you learn something new everyday. :)

You can definitely see the resemblance! Mariska and her brothers were in the car when their mom was killed but thank God they were not hurt.

I don't know how she ever got through that. That accident would stick with me for the rest of my life.

Well, she was only 3 when it happened - and I've heard several interviews that she has absolutely no memory of the accident. Which is really a blessing.
