- Gin Clarke was first spotted by French designer Jean-Paul Gaultier whilst on a trip in London. Soon her tall athletic figure and beautifully shaped bald head were gracing catwalks all over Europe. Her look was copied by a number of young, black models, especially in the UK where many bald black women modeled for UK shows in the mid-90s.
She no longer does catwalk modelling, but has appeared in the movies Le Cinquième Élément (1997), the latest Star War films and several music videos. Her clean-shaven head has been a permanent feature and become the most important part of her look.- IMDb mini biography by: Ewan lightsaber1138@yahoo.co.uk
- Was not involved in the production of Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. Her only footage in that film is in a Jedi Council scene, which used background plates from The Phantom Menace, combined with new footage of Hayden Christensen, Ewan McGregor and Samuel L. Jackson. She has been succeeded in her role of Adi Gallia by Lily Nwamwasa, Tace Bayliss, and Nina Fallon. However, though the other actresses are all black and wear the same costume, they are recognizably different. On account of this, some sources have treated the later actresses as a different character, a cousin of Adi Gallia named Stass Allie.
- Gin was supposed to be in Star Wars Episode II, but, due to the Battle of Geonosis being filmed in Australia instead of England, she was unable to appear in the scene. Lily Nyamwasa was brought in to replace her, but she looked too different, and so Lily played Stass Allie instead.
