Actress Ming-Na Wen discusses her role as Melinda May in "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." with SFX at this year's Saturn Awards. Said Wen, "I think she definitely honors her job and she takes it very seriously and she has a lot of skills [to have] reached Level 7. From what I gather, she has damage, she has damage of some sort. I think she's definitely one of the more seasoned, experienced agents in this crew, in this particular gang."

Hey...some of us 50 year olds can still look good! :-p

Her and Michelle Yeoh look darn good for being more mature ladies.

Looking forward to this series.

Anyone who finds her attractive should do themselves a favor, and watch One Night Stand. I happened upon a love scene with her in that movie one night on cinemax, and her performance was utterly captivating.
