Pictures: Rebel-rousers in film

Actress Michelle Yeoh was deported from Myanmar last week due to her involvement with a film about controversial democracy advocate Aung San Suu Kyi. “The Lady” will star Yeoh as the democratic leader and is currently being filmed in locations all over the world.

Though most actors don’t always draw the same ire their characters do, they do lend another view of those who stood up to powers greater than themselves.   (Vincenzo Pinto/AFP/Getty Images)
