Tina Wiseman, also known as Tina Leiu, was an American actress.[1]
Wiseman was born in Honolulu, Hawaii and is best known as the host of the Cinemax television series Hotel Erotica[2] and films such as Kickboxing Academy, Chained Heat 3: Hell Mountain, Dark Confessions and Hey DJ.[3][4]
Wiseman was also an accomplished singer. Her song "To The Club" was released in 2004 and quickly topped dance charts worldwide, and was in magazines as the club track of the year. Tina also performed additional songs with Spankox like "Telekinetic", "Storm Track", "Best Trouble" and "Island Girl" for the "Hey DJ" movie soundtrack, and afterwards the single "Anime Girl". She also inspired Jon 'Neverdie' Jacobs (later her fiancee) to make the song "Gamer Chick" and her avatar 'Island Girl' was seen in that video.
Wiseman died in the Bahamas on February 20, 2005 from a pulmonary edema. Her untimely death inspired the developers of the game Project Entropia to create 'Memorial Island' within days of her passing. A virtual monument was placed on the island. It appears this was the first time any game had a 3D virtual memorial dedicated to a player of that same game.
