Bai Ling-Pretty Girl From Chengdu,Peoples Republic Of China

Bai Ling (traditional Chinese: 白靈; simplified Chinese: 白灵; pinyin: Bái Líng; born October 10, 1966[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. Her father, Bai Yuxiang (白玉祥), was a musician in the People’s Liberation Army, and later a music teacher. Her mother, Chen Binbin (陈彬彬), was a dancer, stage actress, and a literature teacher in Sichuan University; Bai’s maternal grandfather was a military officer of the Kuomintang army, and thus was persecuted during the Cultural Revolution. In the early 1980s, Bai Ling’s parents divorced, and later remarried. Her mother remarried to the writer Xu Chi (徐迟), renowned for his report titled Goldbach’s Conjecture, about Chinese mathematician Chen Jingrun. Bai Ling has one older sister Bai Jie (白洁), who works for the Chinese tax bureau, and a younger brother Bai Chen (白陈), who emigrated to Japan and works for an American company.
Bai has described herself as a very shy child who found that she best expressed herself through acting and performing. She has said that acting allows one to ignore how society tells one to behave and allows other parts within oneself to be expressed. During the Cultural Revolution (1966–1976), she learned how to perform by participating in Eight model plays her elementary school shows. After her graduation from middle school, she was sent to do labor work at Shuangliu (双流), a suburb county of Chengdu, where the Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport is located.
Before long, she managed to pass the People’s Liberation Army’s exams, and became an “artist soldier” at Linzhi, Tibet. Her main activity there was entertaining in the musical theater[citation needed]. She also served shortly as an Army nurse. Three years later, she was discharged from the army.
Subsequently, Bai spent some time in a mental hospital. Though she insisted then and now, “I’m not crazy,” she maintains to this day that she is from the moon, where her grandmother lives, “I’m not really in reality. I’m in my own universe and my mind is a million miles somewhere else,” she claims, further explaining, “Why I feel like I come from the moon is because my mother told me I was found somewhere.” She believes that when she looks up at the moon, she can often spot her grandmother there, still living in her childhood home.[3]
Soon after her release from the hospital, Bai joined People’s Art Theater of Chengdu, and became a professional actress. Her performance as a young man in the stage play Yueqin and Little Tiger drew the attention of movie director Teng Wenji (滕文骥), which gained her her first movie role in On The Beach (1985), as a village girl who becomes a factory worker and struggles against her father’s will for her to marry her cousin.
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.

Dina Lohan-Pretty Girl From New York

Donata “Dina” Lohan (born September 15, 1962[1]), née Sullivan, is a television personality and occasional actress who rose to fame as the mother and manager of actress/pop singer Lindsay Lohan, and Lindsay’s younger sister Ali Lohan, with whom Dina co-stars in the reality show Living Lohan.

Lohan was born Donata Sullivan on September 15, 1962 in New York.[1]
Dina and her younger daughter Ali began a reality show, Living Lohan, which debuted on May 26, 2008 on the cable television network E!. Dina is also one of the executive producers of the series.

Lohan has been the subject of media scrutiny for making her daughter Ali the star of a reality television program, and for her regard to daughter Lindsay’s recovery from drug and alcohol abuse. She has responded to the latter matter by insisting that Lindsay’s problems were not her fault, nor those of Lindsay’s friends, but were the result of personal choices, for which Lindsay would have to take responsibility, and that Lindsay was in the process of rebuilding her life.[2] She has also been accused of capitalizing on Lindsay’s fame and personal struggles in order to launch her own career, having been criticized for bringing cameramen from the entertainment newsmagazine series Entertainment Tonight to film her visiting Lindsay in drug rehabilitation, to the ire of her daughter and the facility staff.[3]
Lohan’s claimed career as a Radio City Rockette has also been questioned. According to The New York Post a spokesperson for Radio City asserted that there was no record of Lohan ever being a Rockette, and that executive at Cablevision, which owns Radio City, were indignant that Lohan would claim otherwise.[4]
On August 5, 2008, Anderson Cooper appeared as a guest co-host on the ABC talk show Live with Regis and Kelly, during which he stated, in reference to Living Lohan, “I can’t believe I’m wasting a minute of my life watching these horrific people”, and remarked that Ali Lohan appeared to be a sixty-year-old.[5] In an interview with OK! magazine, Dina Lohan responded, “people are just cruel…This is bad karma for him”. Cooper did not respond directly to Lohan’s comments, but clarified that while he felt bad for Ali Lohan, he opined that she should be living the conventional life of a teenager, and not be made to star in a reality television show.[6] Michael Lohan also responded to Cooper’s comments, telling Access Hollywood, “I think Anderson Cooper is an opinionated, hypocritical idiot who should be an adult and keep his opinion to himself…He is the last person to judge anyone, when he and his own family have their own issues.”[7]
