Wendy Leigh, a British free-lancer who published an unauthorized biography of Schwarzenegger in 1990, discovered that Arnold's father had joined the party on July 4, 1938, just months after the Anschluss, Germany's annexation of Austria. Regardless of whether that was a step Arnold's father took gladly, in America we don't visit the sins of the father onto the children.

"When the laser started hurting, I asked what was happening, and they said they had 'turned it up.'" She says with a sigh, "All this because I couldn't stand wearing makeup."
