Bai Ling. Ling Bai. However you say it, she is one of the more recent Chinese actresses to achieve US celebrity. She was born in Chengdu, and actually served as an 'artist soldier' in the People's Liberation Army before becoming a professional actress.

It's hard to find good pictures of her because the girl is either stark naked all the time, or her nipples are constantly slipping out of her dress. She usually plays exotic roles that suit her look and temperament. But as a result, she's been able to work in movies across man genres.

Her films include The Crow, Shaolin Soccer, Sky Captain, Lords of Dogtown, and Crank: High Voltage. She was even in a movie called The Hustle. Which seems a bit unfair, because The Hustle has never been in Ling Bai. Then again, I would probably get drop kicked if I tried.
