She goes to America where, as Joan Chen, she stars in The Last Emperor, Twin Peaks and Oliver Stone's Heaven and Earth. Chen shuttles between East and West, playing fiercely intelligent seducers in the Hong Kong Temptation of a Monk and Red Rose, White Rose while making onscreen love with Anne Heche in Hollywood's Wild Side...
