Why she might be annoying:

She sometimes takes stereotypical ‘Asian’ roles.
She’s acted in crummy sci-fi and action films like ‘The Guyver’ and ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III.’
Some Japanese critics were angered when she played a Japanese character in ‘The Pillow Book’ (she’s Chinese).
She is married to a director, and often stars in his projects (nepotism).
Joe Bob Briggs said she has ‘a reckless disregard for acting.’

Why she might not be annoying:

She starred in ‘The Pillow Book,’ a film in which she was almost continuously naked.
She’s worked with acclaimed directors like Bernardo Bertolucci and Peter Greenaway.
She memorably portrayed Madame Chiang Kai-Shek in ‘The Soong Sisters.’
‘People’ Magazine named her one of the most beautiful people in the world (1990).
She says she sometimes takes stereotypical parts because they’re all Asian actors can get: ‘I would never get a role as Barbra Streisand’s daughter.’
