China Eiko ChowTemplate:Family name footnote (born 15 April 1974)[1] is a British-American actress and model.

Early life and education

Her paternal grandfather was the Peking Opera's Zhou Xinfang.[2] Her paternal aunt is actress and former "Bond girl" Tsai Chin.[3] Her maternal aunt is the artist Adelle Lutz. Through Lutz's 1987 marriage, her uncle is David Byrne.

Her parents left London for New York in 1980, when she was 5 years old. They then relocated to Los Angeles in 1985.[4] Her mother, who was born in Ohio, was of Japanese ancestry and her father is Chinese.[5] She has a younger brother, Maximilian (b. 1978).

In 1992, Chow's mother Tina died of AIDS. The same year, Chow's father married Eva Chun, a Korean fashion designer.[8] In February 2019, her father married his fourth wife, Vanessa Rano, who is 49 years his junior.[9][10]

Career

Chow was discovered as a prospective fashion model by Roger Museenden.[12] She spent several years following in her mother's footsteps working as a model for Shiseido cosmetics, Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein.

Chow made her acting debut in 1998, starring opposite Mark Wahlberg in The Big Hit. In 2004, she appeared in Frankenfish. Three years later, Chow appeared on USA Network's first season of Burn Notice. She was the host and a judge of Bravo's Work of Art: The Next Great Artist, which premiered on 9 June 2010.[17]
