Suzee Pai in Sharky's Machine (1981)
Suzee Pai was born Sue Frances Pai on August 8, 1962 in Toledo, Ohio. Pai did some fashion modeling in New York City and was a Liberty Bells cheerleader for the football team the Philadelphia Eagles. Moreover, Suzee was the Pet of the Month in the January, 1981 issue of "Penthouse." She appeared in a follow-up pictorial in the June, 1982 issue of the same famous men's magazine. Pai has acted in a few movies; she was especially memorable as blind prostitute Siakwan in Sharky's Machine (1981) and enticing green-eyed beauty Miao Yin in the cult favorite Big Trouble in Little China (1986). Her small part as a Vietnamese prostitute in First Blood (1982) was cut from the final theatrical version of the film. Moreover, Suzee had a recurring role as piano player Billie Low in the short-lived TV series Tattingers (1988). Alas, Pai quit acting in the 1990's and has kept a low profile ever since.
