Her father, Bernard Horwood, is a secondary school teacher, and her mother, Jean, hails from Vietnam and China. March has one brother, and her family's cultural blend likely influenced her early interest in modeling and acting.
At the tender age of 14, March won a local "Become a Model" contest, which led to her signing with Storm Model Management. Using her middle name, March, she began working as a print model, capitalizing on her birth month's significance. Her early success in modeling paved the way for her transition into the world of film.
March's breakthrough role came when French director Jean-Jacques Annaud spotted her on the cover of Just Seventeen. He chose her to play the female lead in his film adaptation of Marguerite Duras' semi-autobiographical novel, The Lover (1992). This role marked a significant milestone in her career, showcasing her acting abilities to a global audience.
Two years after The Lover, March co-starred with Bruce Willis in the erotic thriller Color of Night (1994),directed by Richard Rush. Although she initially expressed reservations about the script, she couldn't resist the opportunity to work alongside the renowned actor. During the production of Color of Night, March began dating the film's co-producer, Carmine Zozzora. The couple tied the knot in June 1993, with Bruce Willis serving as the best man and Demi Moore as the maid of honor. However, their marriage was short-lived, and they eventually separated in 1997 before divorcing in 2001.
