I saw the craptastic movie Mamma Mia a few weekends ago…(which I highly recommend as long as you leave your good taste & bad manners at the door). Abba songs, Colin Firth wearing a spiked a dog collar, Meryl Streep singing, Christine Baranski in a cougar-licious role seducing a young man, sparkling Greek coastlines, what could not be fabulous about this movie?
What I certainly didn’t expect, however, was that I could swear I spotted an Asian in the ensemble… I saw her once, in the bachelorette (or “hen”) party scene show in the photo. I stayed for the credits to see who it could potentially have been that I saw briefly on the screen — my best guess is that it is Rebecca Lee. I was impressed, for a large Hollywood movie, the cast was pretty diverse (at least among the ensemble).
Did anyone else see the Asian actress in the movie? I didn’t imagine it, did I?
What next?

While I turned off my brain and enjoyed it, I did notice that I didn’t find any Asian guys in the ensemble (not surprising).

I was coerced into seeing Mamma Mia (the play), which ended up being great… as for the movie version, sounds fun, though it’s awkward to think of ol’ Pierce trying to sing, yeeesh
