Creative Artists Agency, home to clients like Gwyneth Paltrow and Tom Cruise, found such a client last week in robust LARA CROFT, the fictional heroine of the Tomb Raider video-game series, played by Angelina Jolie in last summer's blockbuster film Lara Croft Tomb Raider.

In the ensuing weeks, a slew of players - some members of Austria's soccer team and English cricketers Andrew Caddick and Robert Croft, to give but a few examples - pulled out of international commitments, citing safety concerns. Not that everybody was daunted. U.S. weight lifter Jackie Berube financed her own trip to compete in the World Weight-Lifting Championships in Turkey after the sport's governing body in the U.S. decided it was too dangerous. And 1,000 Irish fans went to Iran to see Ireland qualify...

Not to mention the bodywork: Mok's put together like an E-type Jaguar, curvaceous, sinuous, pantheresque. She's got legs Lara Croft wouldn't mind and a brain Angelina Jolie wouldn't recognize...
