Name: Anita Yuen (English)
Date of Birth: 4th September 1971
Place of Birth: Hong Kong, China
Height: 5 feet 7 inch
Weight: 45 kg
Occupation: Actress, Singer
Born in 1971, Anita has been one of the more popular
actresses in HK during the 1990's. Her first film was
Days of Being Dumb and after a few small parts, she
came into her own with her roles in UFO films such as
Tom, Dick and Hairy, He Ain't Heavy, He's my Father
and He is a Woman, She is a Man. Her portrayal of slightly
quirky characters with a big heart captured the film
goers imagination and from 1993 through 1996, it felt
like she was in every other film to come out of HK.
Some of her other popular films are Age of Miracles,
C'est la Vie, Mon Cherie, Chinese Feast, From Beijing
with Love, Hu Du Men and Golden Girls. She has even
done a few action films like A Taste of Killing and
Romance and Crystal Fortune Run. Like Audrey Hepburn,
her short hair style was quite the style of choice for
a while. She has been teamed up with Lau Ching-Wan in
a number of films and they always have great chemistry
in their films.
Perhaps she did too many films because her popularity
seems to have plummeted of late. I still think she is
terrific though and look forward to anything she is
in. She was absolutely wonderful in two recent films
- Till Death Do Us Part and Enter the Eagles.
