Christy Yow, from the town of beauty queens - Ipoh and currently working in Singapore, is chosen to be the new Rose Chan, at least in celluloid. She will play the role of one of the greatest, most incredibly brave and fearless striptease character to have ply her trade in this country over the second half of the last century. Let's see how they match up in body to body terms...
Singaporean director Eric Khoo's film project about the life of legendary burlesque performer Rose Chan. Evidently, he is having a difficult time finding the right actress to play the role. According to Eric, the actress should have "the sultry lips of Shu Qi, the voluptuous figure of Fiona Xie, the height of Beatrice Chia, and the poise and complexion of Gong Li.
Hopefully, she can also act like Maggie Cheung and can tell jokes like Irene Ang." And furthermore, according to another article from last year, the candidate must speak both Mandarin and Cantonese and be comfortable with nudity and snake handling! That seems like a pretty tall order, but then again Rose Chan was a pretty extraordinary individual.
