Bai Ling

Bai Ling (traditional Chinese: 白靈; simplified Chinese: 白灵; pinyin: Bái Líng) (born October 10, 1970[1][2]) is a Chinese-born American actress. Bai was born in Chengdu, People's Republic of China; "Bai", her family name, literally means "white". Ling, a common Chinese given name, means clever.

In later years, she appeared in several movies. She temporarily moved to New York in 1991 to attend New York University's film department as a visiting scholar, but later obtained a special visa that allowed her to remain in the United States until she became a citizen in 1999.

She began in the cult movie <i>The Crow</i> (1994), playing the half-sister/lover of the main villain, Top Dollar. She was named one of <i>People magazine's</i> "50 Most Beautiful People in the World" in 1998.
