Mr. Media Interviews By Bob Andelman

From 2009: Her latest film, "A Beautiful Life," casts Bai Ling in the role of den mother to a young Latino man who is in the U.S. illegally and a teenage girl, played by Angela Sarafyan, who has run away from a physically abusive father. But this is still Bai Ling, so the producers found a way for her character, Esther, to frequently wear little or nothing: she’s a stripper. A Beautiful Life opens around the United States on October 2.
