Tia Carrere
Wayne’s World, General Hospital, True Lies and Curb Your Enthusiasm are shows and movies which have a huge fan following and have one thing in common, they all star actress Tia Carrere in them. The Hawaiian actress, singer and former model, was accidentally discovered by a local producer’s family member at a grocery store and they decided to cast the teenager in her first movie!
Strongly representing Asian-American women in a racist Hollywood in the 90s was a tough task, but Tia’s talents made sure she always had work. The Grammy winner, now in her 50s, looks just as good as she did 30 years ago. She famously once said that beauty lasts only 5 minutes, but longer if they have a good plastic surgeon. Dropping subtle hints, Tia?
