Me Me Lai, sometimes billed as Me Me Lay was born in Burma 1952, to a Burmese mother and an English father. She moved to England in her teens, where she soon started her acting career, first in TV-series like Paul Temple and Jason King. Soon though she made her transition to movie, starting with the horror movie Crucible of Terror from 1971 and the Au Pair Girls from 1972.

However, she really came into her own in during the Italian cannibal era, playing leads in two genre defining movies; Il Paese del Sesso Selvaggio (1972) by Umberto Lenzi and Ultimo Mondo Cannibale (1977) by Ruggero Deodato. In addition to this she also had a part in Mangiati Vivi (1980), again by Umberto Lenzi, in which her death scene was re-used from Ultimo Mondo Cannibale.

Me Me Lai also was co-hostess of British gameshows The Golden Shot and Sale of the Century.

Me Me Lai's last movie was Lars von Trier's Element of Crime in 1985.
