Ava Lyn Koh
- Actress
Selected for gifted education as a child, she attended the famous
Jewish school, Brandeis University, near Boston, Massachusetts. Skipped
a year, graduated magna cum laude, double majors in Philosophy and
English.
Started an independent theater company called The Müt Theater (müt: German for "courage"). Broke and struggling to make ends meet, Ava got her first break into film after responding to an open call looking for models in bikinis. She was immediately discovered by veteran director, 'John Lamond', chosen out of hundreds of bikini-clad models for her sharp intelligence and unusually intense dramatic flair. She was subsequently cast in _Crime of Passion (2001)- with Sam Bottoms and Leah DiStasio as Oriental love-object and Sapphic femme-fatale. She speaks several languages: English, Mandarin Chinese and Fuzhou Chinese.
