     Speaking of doors, Hu recently had a bit part in Oliver Stone's movie of the same name. She played Dorothy Manzarek, wife of Ray Manzarek (played by Kyle MacLachlin). "If you blinked at all you won't have remembered me. I was in the Thanksgiving and birthday party scenes. I was there helping Meg Ryan...vomit."
     Hu's been in demand as a model. She has appeared in commercials for Ricoh Cameras, Ivory Soap, Dole Pineapple, Thrifty Car Rental, Bud Light, among others. The Sears Charm School has indeed paid off.
     But even beautiful, successful models have reservations about their looks. Hu confesses to a physical drawback--her left eye. "I have one weak eye, and it sometimes does this"--she rolls her left eye around to the side of her head--"and photographers hate it. They always tell me to watch the eye."
     When Hu has a crisis of confidence, she turns to her favorite book, which she calls her inspirational bible--A Guide for the Advanced Soul, written by Susan Hayward. "Whenever you have a problem, you just open it up to any page and your answer is on that page. Most of the time it works. It's incredible!" Hu was turned onto the book by fellow actor Dustin Nguyen of 21 Jumpstreet, and was so impressed that she bought dozens of copies and gave them out to friends. Moderation is not Hu's strong suit.
     Her friends are mostly an international bunch--Saudi, German, Dutch. Her current boyfriend is Dutch, which is part of the reason Hu is attracted to him. "He's so easygoing and so understanding about everything. He's not judgemental and he's open to almost anything. I think that has a lot to do with his being Dutch, because the Dutch are maybe the most liberal people in the world, and it really shows." PAGE 5

"Sometimes we'd go out as often as three or four times a week, religiously. We were bad."
