Personal history
March is Eurasian. Her mother Jean is half-Vietnamese and half-Chinese, and her father Bernard is English of Spanish descent. She was a top teenage fashion model prior to becoming an actress. At age 14, she won a local "Become a Model" contest. At age 15, she began working as a print model using her middle name March, which was named after her birth month.
Her role in The Lover
She was chosen for her innocent look at age 18 for the role of The Young Girl in The Lover, which was the start of her acting career. Her performance led to her being dubbed 'The Sinner from Pinner' (Pinner being the London suburb where she grew up). In The Lover, she used five body doubles for her love scenes. (Allegedly, some of the more graphic close ups in the European released version were filmed using a French body double.) Her co-star Tony Leung Ka-Fai had his own two body doubles. Rumors that the sexual acts in The Lover were real are generally claimed to be untrue, but were not immediately denied by the filmmakers for publicity reasons.
