The Japanese edition of Playboy has selected the “100 Sexiest Women in Asia” and my favourite Asian actress, Chinese Zhang Ziyi is rated #1. The list is to be featured in the April 2006 edition of Playboy Japan and Zhang Ziyi will be on the cover as well. I would love to get my hands on this Playboy!

Another notable mention is Taiwan topmodel Lin Zhi Ling. She ended number 5 in the list.

Memoirs of a Geisha won three Oscars last week (Cinematography, Art Direction and Costume Design), but I am not sure if any Asian actress was ever nominated for an Oscar? Although it’s quite difficult to name my favourite Asian actresses, I will give it a shot anyway.
My current top 5:

1. Ziyi Zhang (China, 1979)
2. Shu Qi (Taiwan, 1976)
3. Lucy Liu (USA, 1968)
4. Chiaki Kuriyama (Japan, 1984)
5. Eugenia Yuan (Birthplace/year N/A)

Do you want to share your own top 5 with us? Go ahead, make my day and comment! 🙂
