I read somewhere that this girl is half Japanese and is actually a model, I think for Chanel or a high end house of fashion. I believe her father is the Rocky Aoki? The founder of Benihana of Tokyo restaurant chain. Like alot of the high end runway models, many of them are not "conventionally good looking", but are hired for unique/ different features. I have actually seen pics where she looks very attractive w/ straight hair, etc. I think the look they gave her in the movie did not do her justice, just my opinion!
