I recently got an email from a friend like this:

Dear xxxx,

So you are going to Hong Kong?  Here's a pretty picture for you; she's
a real icon of Hong Kong, and a "birthday girl" today.  Do you know
who she is?  If you don't, ask your father, he will remember!

Attached was this photo:

I am assuming she is an actress, but I'm not even sure of that.  Can
you tell me who she is, and were I can find a biography and/or other
photos of her?

Wow, swing and a hit!

Her name is Nancy Kwan and she is the first Chinese actress to succeed
in western cinema. She starred first in the movie "The World of Suzie
Wong (1960)" and has since then appeared in many movies as well as TV
shows such as "Hawaii Five-O" and an episode of ER. Links to relavent
websites follow below. Enjoy!
