Jane March
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jane March (born Jane March Horwood in Edgware, London on March 20, 1973) is an English film actress, who has had lead roles in all of the films she has appeared in, and has made films in several countries.
March is Eurasian. Her mother Jean is half-Vietnamese and half-Chinese, and her father Bernard is English of Spanish descent. She was a top teenage fashion model prior to becoming an actress. At age 14, she won a local "Become a Model" contest. At age 15, she began working as a print model using her middle name March, which was named after her birth month. She was chosen for her innocent look at age 18 for the role of the young girl in The Lover, which was the start of her acting career. Her performance led to her being dubbed 'The sinner from Pinner' (Pinner being the staid London suburb where she grew up). [1]
In The Lover, she used five body doubles for her love scenes. (Allegedly, some of the more graphic close ups in the European released version were filmed using a French body double.) Her co-star Tony Leung Ka-Fai had his own two body doubles. In a steamy love scene, the camera zoomed in to Ka-Fai's body double genitalia which may have shown that penetration was made to March's body double. Rumors that the sexual acts in The Lover were real are untrue, but were not immediately denied by the filmmakers for publicity reasons.
In 2004, March became the new spokesmodel of Chopard jewelry.
March was married to Carmine Zozzora, longtime friend of Bruce Willis, occasional actor, and co-producer of Color of Night.
