Born in April 1974 in London, England, UK .
Encountering a name as contrived-sounding as “China Chow”, you might easily assume its bearer to be an Asian porn actress or stripper, the latter category seemingly bound by law to use only the names “China”, “Asia”, “Jade”, or “Jasmine”. But unless you're a student of Tommy Hilfiger ads or are one of the teenage girls who went to see The Big Hit, you've probably never heard or seen the name anyway.
In fact, though, China Chow is a minor model and an even more minor actress (her one movie that anyone's heard of so far is The Big Hit), although like Dweezle and Moon Unit she's probably better known for her parents — Michael Chow (of Mr. Chow restaurants fame) and Tina Chow (a fashion designer who famously died of AIDS in 1991) — or her fling with co-star Mark Wahlberg. Cute and doe-eyed but not strikingly beautiful, I suspect that her movie career will be confined to playing the Friend in most films, the Girl in films aimed and teenage girls where hot guys are the main draw. Of course, if Head Over Heels does well and China isn't too minor a character, she might get a slightly wider range of script offers. But probably not.
