Maggie Q’s Hands Cut While Filming `Die Hard’
June 16th, 2007
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.
Halle Berry honored with Hollywood ‘Walk of Fame’ star
April 4th, 2007
Oscar-winner Halle Berry became the latest celebrity to be immortalized on Hollywood’s “Walk of Fame” Tuesday, and admitted she had struggled to hold back tears during the ceremony.
Berry, who famously sobbed on stage after winning her best actress Oscar in 2002 for “Monster’s Ball,” told a crowd of well-wishers on Hollywood Boulevard she had succumbed to another bout of the waterworks.
Berry’s star is the 2,333rd to be laid on the “Walk of Fame” and comes ahead of the release of her latest film, crime drama “Perfect Stranger” alongside Bruce Willis.
The actress was initially due to receive her star in 2003 but conflicting schedules prevented her from receiving it until now, officials said.
Berry moved into acting after finishing as runner-up in the 1986 Miss USA pageant.
Since making her feature film debut in Spike Lee’s acclaimed “Jungle Fever” in 1991, Berry has appeared in a series of hits including “X-Men” and the James Bond film “Die Another Day.” (AFP)
