Watch, Hollyweird will get ahold of this story and pretty it up - Lucy Liu is pushing 40, who would they cast?

'Wild Cambodia jungle-girl' found
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/6275623.stm

A Cambodian girl who disappeared aged eight has been found after reportedly living wild in the jungle for 19 years.

Rochom P'ngieng's father says he has identified her through scars but she cannot speak any intelligible language.

Ms Rochom P'ngieng disappeared tending buffalo in Rattanakiri province, 350km (220 miles) north-east of Phnom Penh.

Local police said she was "half-human and half-animal". Her father says he will have DNA tests taken to prove she is his daughter.

'Bare bones'

The woman's plight came to light when a villager noticed some of his food had been taken and staked out the area.

Deputy provincial police chief Chea Bunthoeun told Associated Press news agency: "He spotted a naked human being, who looked like a jungle person, sneaking in to steal his rice."

The villager and some friends then caught the woman.

Sal Lou, a village policeman, said he recognised the woman as his daughter from a scar on her right arm.

He said: "When I saw her, she was naked and walking in a bending-forward position like a monkey... She was bare bones.

"She was shaking and picking up grains of rice from the ground to eat."

Mr Sal Lou said the family was now watching her closely after she took her clothes off and suggested she would return to the jungle.

And what is wrong with a 40 year old woman playing someone much younger? Li Gong, who played Hatsumomo in Memoirs of a Geisha (2005) was born in 1965, so would have been 'pushing 40' when she was filming. I don't know how old the Geisha was supposed to be but I'd say around the 20-23 mark. Li Gong pulled it off brilliantly - in fact, I was shocked to discover she is only a couple of years younger than me!



Us forty-something ladies aren't all old wrinklies y'know! lol

GOK, there ain't NOTHING wrong with Lucy Liu!* I was tongue-in-cheek mocking the Hollywierd brain trust.

[Homer Simpson voice] Lucy Liu in a leopard print bikini....mmmmmmmm [/Homer Simpson voice]

* I suspect that she will age gracefully, like Elizabeth Montgomery and Diana Rigg.

Since it is part of the job of every Hollywood actor to look good for as long as possible, I suspect she will.

Do they stock the Hollywierd tabloids next to the cashiers in UK supermarkets? From the candid photos, seems like the vast majority of them are falling down on the job (literally and figuratively) these days.

You mean those awful magazines such as Heat etc? I think they have them next to the cashiers but I could be wrong - I tend to block out such things as they hold no interest for me at all. I must admit to not actually knowing who half the people are that appear on the covers of the s***mags (as one of my friends calls them!).
