Margaret Denise Quigley, is a Hawaiian-born actress and former fashion model. She began acting in Hong Kong and elsewhere in East Asia. Because of her non-Chinese heritage, many of her Asian film appearances are in English or dubbed in Chinese languages. She has, however, stated that she took Mandarin and Cantonese lessons during her career in Asia and is able to speak both languages in varying degrees. Among her first appearances in film was the lead roles in the Hong Kong action thrillers Gen-Y Cops and Naked Weapon, in which she played the martial artist assassin Charlene Ching. She has also played the titular role of Harmony in the German-Singapore telemovie collaboration Das Haus Der Harmonie, opposite leading Singaporean actress Fann Wong.
Born May 22, 1979, her primary personality traits are represented by the Chinese Zodiac elemental animal sign, the Earth Sheep. Being in touch with the good Earth grounds the already stable Sheep. Although like any Sheep she must deal with occasional temporary loss of self-confidence, the Earth in this year gives her a more solid base. Earth grounding makes family especially important for her, and a happy family life is essential to her well being.
