KELLY HU BIOGRAPHY

Kelly Ann Hu was born February 13, 1968, in Honolulu, Hawaii, of Cantonese/English/Hawaiian lineage. Her parents divorced when she was only six years old, and, living with her mother Juanita, Kelly benefited from an upbringing as diversified as her background.

While her mother enrolled her in ballet classes and the Sears Charm School, Kelly indulged in other interests on the side, taking karate lessons from her older brother. By age thirteen, she decided to pursue a modeling career, and her fighting skills were sufficiently developed for her brother to make some quick cash betting on her bouts with neighborhood kids. It was this blend of natural beauty and martial-arts proficiency that determined Kelly's path.
