British-born Filipino beauty Maui Taylor was raised in London before being sent to the Philippines by her family as a young teenager, and eventually broke through into show business thanks to a little help from her cousin -- who was a member of a popular dance troupe in the Philippines. After making her small-screen debut on the Filipino soap opera Anna Karenina at the age of 14, Taylor quickly launched a successful feature career thanks to smoldering roles in such films as Gamitan, Hibla, and Sex Drive. Her uninhibited personality served well to make her a sex icon for young men across the Philippines, and Taylor could frequently be seen gracing the cover of FHM in various states of undress.
