Wonderful! Wonder if it is true...any Chinese speakers/readers out there?

Reminds me of the 手紙 (tegami) issue.

You can't be serious.

The Kanji shown in the site is "Joyuu" Actress.

The first Kanji "Jo" means female, period. The second is "Yuu" which is also used in the word "yuushuu" (excellent).

優 ユウ ウ やさしい, すぐれる, まさる T1 ゆ よし tenderness; excel; surpass; actor; superiority; gentleness

There's no implication of "danger" anywhere.

At least in Japanese.

Indeed. My kanji dictionary gives the following meaning:
#1033: YUU, sugu(reru) - to excel; yasa(shii) - friendly, gentle
That's rather the opposite of "dangerous", I'd say.

But what does it mean in Chinese? The site says "Chinese Japanese Kanji Characters" - which should be a red flag right there - we have the Japanese side of things covered, what about the Chinese?

(I would not be shocked at all to find that in Chinese those two characters have nothing to do with danger and person, and suspect they don't).

Well, the Chinese (Mandarin) word for actor (and actress) is 演员 (yan3 yuan2), and the "excellent" or "tenderness" kanji means "excellent" in Chinese. So whoever put this together must be playing some kind of joke. That was the only one that I saw that was wrong, though.
