Kelly
Hu attended Kamehameha High School. She has an older
brother Glenn, who is a Captain in the US Army.
Kelly's hobbies include Karate (Kelly has a brown
belt in karate, having been introduced to the martial
arts as a young girl by her brother.), Swimming
and Rollerskating. Unfortunately, Kelly's parents
divorced when she was 6 years old. Her mother, Juanita
was a Draftsperson for City and County of Honolulu,
and her father, Herbert was a Salesman and Exotic
Bird Feeder. Sorry for the heartbreak, but Kelly
is currently dating Gordon Gilbertson, a talent
manager, and she was formerly with Ahmad Ali Moussaui,
an investment banker. Hu embarked on a career in
modeling after sharing the experiences of friends
who had traveled to Japan on modeling assignments.
When it was suggested that a beauty pageant title
would increase her promotability, Hu agreed to enter
the local Miss Teen USA pageant. Above and beyond
her expectations, Hu not only won the local pageant,
but was crowned Miss Teen USA in 1985. Her first
role was in the television series Growing Pains.
She later appeared in Tour of Duty, Melrose Place,
Murder One and nearly 20 other series. Her theatrical
motion pictures include The Doors, Surf Ninjas,
Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man, and No Way
Back. She also starred in Sunset Beach as Dr. Rae
Chang, a love interest of Casey Mitchum (Timothy
Adams),Nash Bridges as Michelle Chan and recently
she starred in the hit series, Martial Law as Chen
Pei-Pei (aka Grace Chen).
So how
did Kelly get her big break? Winning the title helped
her break into the industry. After winning the Miss
Teen USA title, she did modeling assignments abroad,
including a four-month stint in Japan. After leaving
Hawaii and arriving in Los Angeles, she did commercials
for Vidal Sassoon and Mary Kay Cosmetics. Other
commercials followed including Jack in the Box,
Clothestime, Bud Light, Ricoh Cameras, Thrifty Rental,
Ivory Soap and Dole Pineapple. She also traveled
to Italy to do a series of popular commercials for
Philadelphia Cream Cheese. While Kelly still aspires
to take her career even higher, someday she would
like to open a modeling school for girls in Hawaii.
She may be fairly unknown to many before the tv
show "Martial Law", but Kelly Hu is no newcomer.
She's been on Television doing everything from daytime
soaps to game shows. She's also done many guest
appearances on various television shows. The most
noticeable would probably be "Growing Pains", an
old 80's sitcom. She always played the pretty Asian
girl, but that's not a bad thing! You can now catch
her In X2 the x-men sequel. |
