Veteran Vietnamese born actress Kieu Chinh is best known to moviegoers for her role as Suyuan Woo in the 1991 film "The Joy Luck Club". She also made a notable guest appearance on the hit CBS-TV series "M*A*S*H" as Kyung Soon, an aristocratic South Korean socialite whom Hawkeye begins to fall in love with (which is reciprocated) after he's enlisted by Colonel Potter to attend to her sick mother in the episode "In Love and War" (directed by Alan Alda) in the series' sixth season.
