She's a second generation artist, the daughter of acclaimed English director Peter Hall and noted American opera singer Maria Ewing. Though it's not obvious due to her EnglishRose looks, she's of partial African-American descent on her mother's side.[[note]]Initially she'd thought herself to also have Native American ancestry, but discovered it wasn't the case via the TV series ''Finding Your Roots'' when they had investigated her family history.[[/note]]
