Happy Birthday to the beautiful and talented Zhang Ziyi, star of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon ( one of my favourite films of the last God-knows-how-many-years ), as well as House Of Flying Daggers, Hero ( see above pic ), 2046 and many more 'mazing movies.....

My most admired Chinese celebrity.
I LOVE her in those great Chinese historical epics. 'Crouching Dragon, Hidden Dragon' and 'House of Flying Daggers' are both terrific films. I even loved her in one of the Jackie Chan/Chris Tucker movies.
"We could have HAD someting girl, but you went CRAZY bitch!"
I've never seen her in a Hollywood movie. How did she deal with the English ( well, American-English ) dialogue?
Better than you would expect with the accent but perfectly fine. She also has her brand of balletic martial arts and a constant bad attitude to unless of Chris Tucker. Her sneer is so delicious. I watch that movie just for her and Jeremy Piven's funny cameo. She is just a force of nature.
did you know that the Chinese people kinda hate her? She was huge in her country until she had that horrible scandal in which she allegedly took millions from charity money and put it in her pocket. Her career was pretty much ruined after that in Asia.
I didn't know about that, Dez. I'd be sad to find out that was true :-(
