Yeoh Choo Kheng PSM (Chinese: 杨紫琼; born 6 August 1962),[1][2] better known by the stage name Michelle Yeoh, is a Malaysian actress. She is the recipient of various accolades, including an Academy Award and a Golden Globe Award. Credited as Michelle Khan in her early films, she rose to fame in the 1980s and 1990s after starring in Hong Kong action and martial arts films where she performed her own stunts. These roles included Yes, Madam (1985), Magnificent Warriors (1987), Police Story 3: Super Cop (1992), The Heroic Trio, Tai Chi Master (both 1993), and Wing Chun (1994).

After moving to the United States, Yeoh gained international recognition for starring in the James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) and in Ang Lee's martial arts film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000), the latter for which she was nominated for the BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role. Her Hollywood career progressed with roles in Memoirs of a Geisha (2005), Sunshine (2007), and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008). She continued to appear in Hong Kong and Chinese cinema, starring in True Legend, Reign of Assassins (both 2010), Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny (2016), and Master Z: Ip Man Legacy (2018). In 2011, she portrayed Aung San Suu Kyi in the British biographical film The Lady.

Yeoh played supporting roles in the romantic comedies Crazy Rich Asians (2018) and Last Christmas (2019), as well as in the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021) and the television series Star Trek: Discovery (2017–2020). Her voice acting work has included Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011), Minions: The Rise of Gru (2022), and Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (2023). For her starring role as Evelyn Quan Wang in Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022),[3] she won the Academy Award for Best Actress, becoming the first Asian[a] to win the category, and the first Malaysian to win an Academy Award.

The film review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes ranked her the greatest action heroine of all time in 2008.[6] In 1997, she was chosen by People as one of the "50 Most Beautiful People in the World",[7] and in 2009 the same magazine listed her as one of the "35 All-Time Screen Beauties".[8] In 2022, Time named her one of the world's 100 most influential people on its annual listicle and its Icon of the Year.[9][10] In 2024, she received the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Early life and education

[edit]

Yeoh was born on 6 August 1962 in Ipoh, Perak,[11] to Janet Yeoh and Yeoh Kian-teik. Her father was elected as a Senator of Malaysia from 1959 to 1969 as a member of Perak's Malaysian Chinese Association,[12][13][14] the Chairman of the Perak Bar Association,[when?][12] and the founder of "Sri Maju" in 1975, a major intercity coach service in Malaysia and Singapore.[12][15] Though of Hokkien and Cantonese ancestry,[16] she grew up speaking English to her father and could understand some Malaysian Cantonese from her maternal grandmother who lived with them.[17] She learned to speak Cantonese fluently in the 1980s and some Mandarin in the 2000s. Despite that, she never learned to read or write Chinese, which she has said was her greatest regret.[18]

Yeoh was keen on dance from an early age, beginning ballet at age four. She went to the girls school Main Convent Ipoh. At age 15, she moved with her parents to the United Kingdom. There, she was enrolled in The Hammond School, Chester, where she started to train as a ballet dancer.[19][20] However, a spinal injury prevented her from becoming a professional ballet dancer, and she shifted her attention to choreography and other arts.[21] She received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Manchester Metropolitan University in 1983.[22]

Career

[edit]

Early career and first retirement (1983–1991)

[edit]

In 1983, twenty-year-old Yeoh won the Miss Malaysia World contest.[23] She was Malaysia's representative at the Miss World 1983 pageant in London, where she placed eighteenth.[24] Later that year, she traveled to Australia where she won the 1984 Miss Moomba International pageant.[25] Her first acting work was in a television commercial for Guy Laroche watches with Jackie Chan.[25] This caught the attention of a fledgling Hong Kong film production company, D&B Films. Although she had a passive understanding of the Ipoh Cantonese spoken in her hometown, she could not speak it. During a phone call in Cantonese, she was offered to co-star in a television commercial with a Sing Long, and only realized that was Jackie Chan's Cantonese name when she arrived in the studio.[26] She learned to speak Cantonese as she began her career in Hong Kong.[27]

Yeoh began her acting career in action and martial arts films, in which she performed her own stunts.[28] Yeoh's first lead role came in her third film, Yes, Madam (1985).[21][29] Yeoh initially used the pseudonym Michelle Khan, a stage name selected by D&B Films for its potential appeal to international and Western audiences. In 1987, Yeoh married her first husband Dickson Poon, a co-founder of D&B Films, and decided to retire from acting.[30]

Return as an action star (1992–2001)

[edit]

After five years of marriage, Yeoh divorced Poon and returned to acting with Police Story 3: Super Cop (1992).[23] She appeared in The Heroic Trio (1993), and the Yuen Woo-ping films Tai Chi Master and Wing Chun in 1993 and 1994, respectively.

She changed her stage name back to Michelle Yeoh when she started her Hollywood career with Tomorrow Never Dies in 1997.[23] In the 1997 James Bond film, she played Wai Lin opposite star Pierce Brosnan.[31] Brosnan was impressed, describing her as a "wonderful actress" who was "serious and committed about her work."[32] He referred to her as a "female James Bond" in reference to her combat abilities. Yeoh wanted to perform her own stunts but was prevented because director Roger Spottiswoode considered it too dangerous. Nevertheless, she performed all of her own fighting scenes.[33][34]

In 1997, Yeoh played Soong Ai-ling in the award-winning The Soong Sisters. Yeoh was approached by director Ang Lee to star as Yu Shu Lien in her first Mandarin-language martial arts film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000). She did not speak Mandarin until the 2000s, and she had to learn the Mandarin lines for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon phonetically.[35] The film was an international success, and earned Yeoh a BAFTA 2000 nomination for Best Actress in a Leading Role.[36][37]

Career fluctuations (2002–2016)

[edit]

In October 2011, Yeoh was chosen by Guerlain to be its skincare ambassador.[42] Yeoh's role was to help strengthen the French cosmetics company's relationship with Asia.[43]

Yeoh did not branch out into television until 2015, with her first role playing Mei Foster, wife to the British Ambassador to Thailand, who is secretly a North Korean spy named Li-Na,[44] on the fifth season of the Cinemax/Sky series Strike Back.[45]

Following the success of Star Trek: Discovery, a spinoff series with Yeoh in the leading role, was commissioned in 2019.[48] The series, which would centre on Yeoh's character, Emperor Georgiou working as a member of Section 31, a secret intergalactic spy organisation, was still "in development" as of January 2023,[49] but in April, Paramount+ announced it had ordered a Star Trek: Section 31 feature film starring Yeoh, rather than a series.[50]

The film was released on 8 November 2019, and was a box office success grossing over $121 million worldwide.[53]

It was announced at The Game Awards 2020 that Yeoh would star in Ark: The Animated Series, a series based on the video game Ark: Survival Evolved by Studio Wildcard, in which she plays the role of Meiyin Li, a 3rd-century Chinese rebel leader, known as the Beast Queen.[55]

They would talk very loudly and very slowly".[105] She has long spoken out about racism in Hollywood, typically in her awards acceptance speech at the Golden Globes.[106] The day after her history-making Oscar win, she published an opinion essay in The New York Times calling for true gender equality.[107]
