Curious how many of you have heard of this 1/2 Korean American actress/former Lakers cheerleader. My co-teacher was raving about her this morning and telling me how impressed she was with her ability to overcome adversity such as her parents divorcing and her mother raising her by herself.

Yeah yeah yeah. Whatever. She's hot, and isn't that all that really matters when it comes to semi-famous women???

It's funny to me to see some Koreans embrace 1/2 Koreans like Heinz Ward, or in this case Bloodgood, as one of their own, when a majority of the time they are viewed as inferior. It's only after they have become semi-successful that they are suddenly "Korean"

I thought she was beautiful? Her face looks damaged but some sort of incident, perhaps an accident. Very sad, indeed.

I think it's adorable that Korea is still a nation that would be super impressed by a child of divorce being able to succeed in something.

I liked both of her recent TV shows (Daylight and Journeyman). It's too bad they only lasted one season each.
