When asked about her ethnicitt, Samantha stated:
Yeah, my grandfather was Polish. He migrated to America. No, I didn’t actually meet him properly till I was eight. He lived in Florida. Then, yeah, each year when I based myself in Tampa not too far away, I would go and visit whenever I would go back there as much as I could.
About the Polish language, she also said:
I can’t read it or speak it. My dad can. He kept that quiet from us for some reason. I wish he did kind of tell us more about it. I’d really like to speak another language.
