Hong Kong-based actress and martial artist Maggie Quigley said Friday that her hands were badly cut while filming car stunt scenes for the coming film “Die Hard 4.0.”
The latest installment in the “Die Hard” series, titled “Live Free or Die Hard” in the United States, revolves around a planned cyber-terror attack on the United States.
In the film, Bruce Willis teams up with Justin Long, who plays a computer hacker, to thwart the evil Mai, played by Quigley.
Audiences will get to see Quigley beat Willis up.
The movie opens in Japan on June 23. It opens in the United States and elsewhere on June 27.
Quigley made her name in the Hong Kong film industry before moving on to Hollywood projects such as the recent action flick “Mission: Impossible III,” the comedy “Rush Hour 2″ and Jackie Chan’s “Around the World in 80 Days.”
The actress grew up in Hawaii, the daughter of a Polish-Irish American father and a Vietnamese mother.
Singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow, who had breast cancer surgery early last year after a breakup with champion cyclist Lance Armstrong, said on Friday she had adopted a 2-week-old baby boy. The Grammy-winning recording star, known for such hits as “All I Wanna Do,” “Soak Up the Sun,” and “If It Makes You Happy,” announced the adoption with a short message to fans posted on her official Web site.
“His name is Wyatt (after my dad) Steven (after my little brother and Scooter) and we are enjoying some very private family time,” she wrote. Scooter is the nickname of her longtime manager and friend, Steven Weintraub.
No other details about her newly adopted son were revealed, but Crow’s publicist said the child was born in the United States.
Crow, 45, postponed a North American concert tour in February of last year to undergo “minimally invasive” surgery for breast cancer. She announced during an appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” in October that she was cancer-free.
The singer’s surgery came about a month after she and seven-time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong, himself a cancer survivor, broke off their engagement, ending a high-profile two-year relationship.
