Well, I personally can say I knew the photogenic young Chinese American cutie in the photo with the red sweater & crossing her arms with the view of her wrist-watch. She's Daisy Yong who did media, advertising, modeling gigs & such during her time. Met her back in my college days (she also dated one of my buddies). She's listed as SF's title-holder under Crystal Kwok's court back in 87:

Back then, Daisy told me she spent a lot of time modeling over in Manhattan & got this part shooting a HK flick (never seen personally) but FYI, Daisy's better known for her appearance in Ridley Scott's 'Black Rain' in that film's karaoke bar sequence w/Kate Capshaw, Takakura Ken, Mike Douglas, Andy Garcia, etc. also cast as eye candy with many of her West Coast Chinese (incl. SF pageant & local newscaster Cynthia Gouw, another past acquaintance) & Japanese American pageant sisters down in Hollywood. I couldn't find a photo gallery for that year from the above link to compare here but can testify...trust me on this.

Thanks for sharing kenichiku. Lucky she was in the DB's credits so that I can add her name to the image right away. Thanks to your help maybe we could add a biography to the DB.

A blast from the past

Wish I could add more. I highlight 'acquaintance' and ever a passing one. Now if I were ever to have been so lucky like my college buddy (pre-med ggrrrrh, that lucky bastage!) who did date Daisy to clock in some quality time, I could of really earned some bragging rights to even qualify as furnishing some inside dirt but alas my association's only a brief superficial one I'm afraid. What's stated above is public knowledge, no revelations beyond me being a starstruck fool. I do wonder what's she's doing now.

We can use some of what you've shared that gives enough information for the DB. Many of the bios are sometimes just a word or a short sentence. So, perhaps a DB-editor would like to add something like this..

Chinese American actress. Was also active in media, advertising and modelling.

Well there you go, you've just written it, so why not use it! :D To clarify, I don't have editing access to your data. Isn't it obvious by now after several years that I post here to alert those with the keys to the kingdom of my concerns & comments on these threads so that you guys do the actual editing for me anyway?
