Biography |
 |
Cynthia is one of the few gweilos in HK film who actually was portrayed as a good guy instead of the usually stereotypical gweilo villains. She is also one of the few gweilo action stars that generally receives respect from the often dismissive western HK film fans. Part of this may be because her skills were just so good. Back in the U.S.A. before getting into movies, she won the World Karate Championships for five consecutive years (1981-1985) in the "Forms and Weapons" category (which is not divided into male and female sections). She holds five Black Belts.
Her first acting job was in a Kentucky Fried Chicken commercial, but Sammo as part of the D&B management was looking for two women to appear in a film that would do the typical buddy cop film but with women in the roles generally taken by men. He cast Michelle Yeoh as one and then spotted Cynthia on TV (probably not the KFC commercial!) and made her an offer to come work in HK.
