Bai Ling Talks About Living 'A Beautiful Life'

Actress Bai Ling stopped by the studio to talk about her role as Esther in the new drama movie A Beautiful Life.

"Maggie (Angela Sarafyan) is a teenage runaway fleeing her family; David (Jesse Garcia) is a teenage illegal immigrant. When their paths cross, both are alone in the City of Angels; a place where some come to dream and others to hide. Soon the two form unlikely alliances with a Chinese stripper named Esther (Bai Ling) and Susan (Debi Mazar), a local librarian.

"But when Maggie seeks out her mother's (Dana Delany) help, the truth catches up to her and she has to decide to either face her past or keep running. A Beautiful Life reminds us that each life is not just the singular story of one person. Rather, it is the story of all the lives that intersect with and enrich it," says Fandango.

Ling is a Chinese actress, whose performing career began when she enlisted in the Chinese People's Liberation Army at age 14 where she spent three years in a performance troop entertaining soldiers stationed in Tibet. Since moving to the US in 1991, she has starred in Wild Wild West, Man About Town, The Hustle, The Gene Generation and Shanghai Baby.

A Beautiful Life is in theaters now.
