[edit] Personal history
Her father is English of Spanish descent and her mother is of Vietnamese/ Chinese 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.
In 1993, she married Carmine Zozzora, a co-producer of Color of Night. They divorced in 2001.
[edit] Her role in The Lover
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. Rumors that the sexual acts in The Lover were real are generally claimed to be untrue, but were not immediately denied by the filmmakers for publicity reasons. Her performance led to her being dubbed 'The Sinner from Pinner' (Pinner being the London suburb where she grew up).
