Movie: Austin Powers GOLDMEMBER

Dancing with the Stars fans know that lady judge Carrie Ann Inaba is always the picture of grace.  More over, has anyone ever wondered why she looks so familiar? We bet you'll be surprised to find out why you know her -- because elegant Inaba has a funny past.

 

WHO IS CARRIE ANN INABA

Carrie Anne Inaba, the woman judge on Dancing with the Stars, is always lovely to watch and listen to on the show. She is poised, and on camera always appears to be a very serious ballroom dancing judge.

As on on air personality, the Hawaiian beauty always comes across as smart and funny without being overly crass. She's always got a nice thing to say even when providing a heavy handed critique, and you can tell she is a pleasure to work with on most occasions (although some of the dancers who she has been the most critical of do seem quite irritated when she makes helpful comments while giving them low marks).

Her countenance [the way in which she presents herself] is always beyond reproach, however, and you get now sense of her being there as pretty fluff.

But who is she? How did she land the job as a dance competition judge?

 

WHY IS CARRIE ANN INABA FAMOUS

Inaba really is a dancer herself (a long time professional) who has appeared in numerous movie, television, and stage productions. However, the kind of roles she's taken on are quite a funny list (literally).

Carrie Anne Inaba is most famous for dancing in the following roles:

  • Carrie Ann Inaba was a FLYGIRL dancer on the television show "In Living Color"
  • She played the Goddess dancer in the movie "Showgirls"
  • She danced with Madonna in the  "Madonna: The Girlie Show (Down Under)"
  • Inaba played the famous character Fook Yu in "Austin Powers: Goldmember"

Yes, ladies and gentlemen... the Dancing with the Stars celebrity competitors are being judged professionally by a woman you can, with a straight face, say, "Fook Yu" if they ask for her credentials.

She's even got co-star celebrities Mike Meyers, Beyoncé Knowles, and Seth Green to back up her story.

Shocking, eh? We knew we liked her for some reason other than when she gives a perfect ten score.

It's hard not to like a beautiful, smart, and funny girl.
