Sulilnh's IMDb (International Movie Database) credits at
(www.imdb.me/sulinhlafontaine)
date back to 2003, when she appeared as a "Cambodian Victim" in an episode, titled "Control," of "Law an Order: Special Victis Unit." Sulinh has also appeared on various other T.V. shows, including "It Casting," "Masters of the House," "Supreme Jusice With Judge Karen" and "Fast Food Heights." A former designer and stylist, Sulinh has continued acting and working full time since she graduated from the William Esper Actors Conservatory in N.Y.C. Not only has Sulinh appeared in various "indie" (independent) films, she has appeared in feature films, including What Just Happened, starring Robert De Niro, Bruce Willis, Sean Penn, Kristen Stewart, Catherine Keener, and John Turturro; Hitch, starring Will Smith, Eva Mendes, Kevin James, and Amber Valletta; and Three Veils, starring Sheetal Sheth and Mercedes Mason. She may also be seen in national commercials, and in various global and national print ads.
Sulinh appears as a laundromat worker in the short film "Myrna the Monster," which premiered at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival, and is an official selection of SXSW (South By Southwest) this month. Her greatest claim to fame, perhaps, however, is that she was a race car stunt driver in Furious 7., starring Jason Statham, Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson, Vin Diesel, and the late Paul Walker.
She has volunteered with Doctors Without Borders, Room To Read, Aid Still Required, Peace Has Begun, Women Helping Women of the World, and Give Children Hope.

Sulinh's claims to have worked on Furious 7 as the only female stunt driver has come under scrutiny of the Hollywood Stunt Community. An article on Sulinh, written and submitted by Joyce Wong, to ireportCNN.com was taken down after being inundated by complaints from members of the stunt community that Ms. Fontaine was not a stunt driver on the film. Even Furious 7's stunt coordinator, Joel Kramer, chimed in. Because of the tremendous backlash on Facebook and Twitter, Ms. Fontaine's accounts have also been removed.
