Zhang Ziyi came to the attention of the world in Ang Lee's martial arts extravaganza Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000). Her performance, as a sword-stealing temptress, also made us fancy her. Ziyi has gone on to be one of China's biggest stars, in movies like Hero (2002), 2046 (2004) and House Of Flying Daggers (2004). Her undoubted powers of seduction will be tested to the full in Hollywood's adaptation of Memoirs Of A Geisha (2005).
