Her roommate, Renee, was a friend of a friend and she sort of hung out with my crowd some because of an NYU connection. Hillary was a reasonably nice total airhead looking to land a rich guy. She was into the yoga/holistic health-ish lifestyle even then, so I think that part is legit.
She definitely did not speak with a Spanish accent, but she did sort of identify as part Spanish. (It came up in the context of her talking about competing in Latin ballroom dancing.) At the time she said she spent her summers growing up in Spain; her parents owned the house that they now live in (and I actually think it may have been her mom's childhood home or at least near where her grandparents on that side lived) and they did really spend considerable time there, so that's probably why she sounds like a native speaker. I think it's true that she was born when her parents were "on vacation" there, but I think it was like a year long sabbatical kind of thing... where they intentionally had her near her mom's parents, not like a week long cruise.
Did she go by Hilaria back then?
