Maggie Q, Margaret Denise Quigley, is part American and part Vietnamese. She was born in Honolulu to an American father and Vietnamese mother who met while her father was stationed in Vietnam. Yeah, good things did come of the Vietnam war, eh?

Maggie has two sisters and two half-siblings from her mother’s previous marriage.

Her acting career began in Hong Kong and because she is not Chinese in heritage, her films are dubbed in Chinese. She does, however, claim to speak Mandarin and Cantonese. She has appeared in Hong Kong action thrillers, German-Singaporean telemovie programs and opposite Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible III. She also appeared in Live Free or Die Hard opposite Bruce Willis.

Maggie was selected by GreenPacks.org as one of 15 celebrities to pose nude to change the planet.

I don’t know that being a vegetarian qualifies as an attempt to change the planet, but the poster is definitely a head turner.

What do you think of celebrities like Maggie Q using their outward beauty for such causes? Does it make a difference? Or is it all about public relations so she can sell more movie tickets.
