    I heard her father was Tommy Chong which drew my attention to her. Her looks are what likely drew everyone else, including me, to her. I only remember seeing her in Commando, but as you can see here, her filmography is somewhat extensive. I don't think she is Academy award material, but she is a respectable actress. Based on what I know of her father, she is likely 3/4 Black, 1/4 Chinese and 1/4 Caucasian(Irish/Scottish). Interesting mix.
