She kept her head down long enough to make it to the capital, Yangon (then known as Rangoon), where she attended medical school in the mid-1980s, then returned home to work in clinics in Karen villages...
...after making a specialty of playing dark characters like Jim Morrison in The Doors and drug-addicted John Holmes in Wonderland, he's starring in his first intelligent buddy comedy.

No need to worry though, it’s probably just “Gold Digger.” One time (of many) I was mid-conversation with a girl, when suddenly she froze as if we were playing a game of Dr. Pepper at a third cousin’s bat mitzvah.
