Lily Cole Is for the Imagination of Fans

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is a story in which the daughter of Parnassus becomes an unwilling payment for a deal made by the father to the devil. The daughter, Valentina, is played by model-turned-actress Lily Cole. In the movie, Tony, played by the late Heath Ledger and actors Johnny Depp and Colin Farrell, go through different landscapes of the imagination in order to help Parnassus win against the devil and save Valentina from damnation. The winner, of course, will get Valentina's hand in marriage.

It's obvious that in real life, a lot of men would also undoubtedly wish to marry Lily Cole. Her being a successful actress now is the result of hard work as a model, wearing clothes that are the products of the imagination as well as sometimes leaving little for the imagination. While there are other photo shoots where Cole poses in more daring outfits, or none at all, the samples shown here are enough to reveal her as a professional model and actress who, as some fans put it, can be dressed up like an imaginary doll to your liking.

Xiong Dai Lin Plays Wife of Ip Man

Model-turned-actress Xiong Dai Lin plays the wife of Bruce Lee's Wing Chun kung fu sifu (mentor) Ip Man (pronounced eep mun). Lin (we'll simply call her that, although she's also known as Lynn Hung) plays a complaining but loyal partner to Ip Man, played convincingly by best-actor-award winner Donnie Lee. Interestingly, Ip Man defends Lin's character only once in the movie against potential harm from Japanese soldiers, one of which tries to approach her in the pivotal scene saying, "Mmm, pretty."

Indeed, it's hard not to say "pretty" when you see Xiong Dai Lin's pictures even as a model and off the set of the Ip Man movies. In Ip Man, she is generally shown with Chinese food or caring for her character's son. She wears, classic 1930s fashion, which still looks good on her even with it's conservative style. But she's really more than that in the way she creatively poses with fashion designs that reveals more to the mind than what meets the eye.

Melanie Thierry: A Girl with Special Powers in Babylon AD

In Babylon AD, Melanie Thierry, plays a girl escorted by Thoorop (Vin Diesel) from Europe to New York in a futuristic world. The movie kind of reminds us of the classic Kurt Russel movie, Escape from New York.

Thierry, on the other hand, reminds us of another model who achieved fame with Bruce Willis in the cult movie, The Fifth Element, and who is now the star of a popular video game movie series.
