NUDE ROLES: 1
BIRTHPLACE: New Orleans, Louisiana
BIRTHDAY: 09/02/42
An American model of Asian descent, China Lee was born in New Orleans and proved her spice by posing as Playboy’s Playmate of the Month for the August 1964 issue. She worked as a Playboy Club Bunny and was the first Asian-American and first Chinese Playmate. Maybe that’s what caught funnyman and noted pervert Woody Allen’s fly, as he cast her in What’s Up, Tiger Lily? (1966) to do a striptease over the ending credits. China liked her men funny and married comedian Mort Sahl, whom she divorced...
