Danielle Dao Tien     aka. “The Eurasian Beauty”..

Vintage press photo dated from 1962 features Ms. Dao Tien playing chess, as she claimed to be unable to find work as an exotic dancer.. While dancing in Miami, she’d incurred the wrath of nightclub owners by refusing to “mix” with club patrons, after dancing onstage.. ie. working as a “B-girl” to encourage the purchase of expensive drinks, etc.  Danielle claimed she’d been blacklisted from performing locally, as a result of this refusal..
