Biography |
|
Michelle Yeoh / Michelle Khan / Yeung Chu-kheng was born on the 6 of august 1962 in Malaysia. She began studying ballet dancing and comedy in London. In 1983, she returned to her home country and became the winner of the Miss Malaysia beauty contest. Her appearance in a TV commercial with Jackie Chan launched her career.
It was Dickson Poon (her future husband), the head of the famous company D&B, who showed to the public her incredible skills with the In The Line Of Duty two first opus. After the success of these two films she appeared in many other action movies. But after marrying Dickson Poon she retired from acting at the insistance of her husband.
In 1992, after 4 years away from the film industry and after her divorce she came back in Police Story 3. Michelle Kahn became Michelle Yeoh, now free to take all the risks she wants. At this time she tried her luck in Hollywood and appeared in the James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) : she played a chinese supercop. With this incursion in the United States she joined John Woo, Chow Yun-fat, Jackie Chan, Kirk Wong, Terence Chang, Ronny Yu, Yuen Woo-ping, Corey Yuen Kwai or Jet Li.
In 2001, she produced The Touch written by Julien Carbon and Laurent Courtiaud.
