Vivian Wu
Nude

Imperiously demure, Vivian Wu exhibits an impassive beauty that seems to mask any sexual desires behind a refined, porcelain-perfect complexion. The Chinese-born actress has almost always adhered to her homeland’s archetypal notion of female prudence and piety, playing to a submissive stereotype in the Oscar-winning epic The Last Emperor (1987), the Asian-themed hit The Joy Luck Club (1993), and the family action flick The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993). But there is one outstanding exception to Ms. Wu’s rule of staid appearances. And that joyous aberration is the arousing film The Pillow Book (1995). In Asian culture, pillow books are tomes compiling erotic writings. In the movie, Vivian’s slender, naked body is used as the manuscript upon which these sensual stories are written—and then played out. Almost every inch of her sumptuous skin, including that moist strip of flesh stretching from her heavenly portal to her excretory porthole, is shown off from every available angle. As she bares her breasts, bush and bum, she turns on her leading man Ewan McGregor as well as audience’s members! Since breaking with tradition, the alluring actress has lent her sexy presence to the ABC series Strange World (1999-2000). She also appeared in the video game Indiana Jones and the Emperor’s Tomb in 2003. After taking a break from the biz, the Asian sensation made her return to Hollywood productions with a starring role as a Chinese astronaut in the Netflix sci-fi drama Away (2020). No doubt, the part shows off Vivian’s out-of-this-world body!
