Michelle Yeoh Choo Kheng PSM (/ˈjoʊ/ YOH; born 6 August 1962)[2] is a Malaysian-born actress first based in Hong Kong and subsequently in the United States. Credited as Michelle Khan in her early films, she later rose to fame in the 1990s after starring in a series of Hong Kong action films where she performed her own stunts, such as Yes, Madam (1985), Police Story 3: Supercop (1992) and Holy Weapon (1993). She gained international recognition for her roles in the James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) and in Ang Lee's martial arts film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000). The latter role earned her a BAFTA Best Actress nomination.
Yeoh's other works include Memoirs of a Geisha (2005), Reign of Assassins (2010), Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011), Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny (2016), and The Lady (2011), where she portrayed Aung San Suu Kyi. She went on to have supporting roles in the romantic comedies Crazy Rich Asians (2018) and Last Christmas (2019), and the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021). On television, Yeoh had a recurring role in the science fiction series Star Trek: Discovery from 2017 to 2020, and starred in the fantasy miniseries The Witcher: Blood Origin (2022). Also in 2022, she gained critical acclaim for starring as an overwhelmed mother navigating the multiverse in the science fiction film Everything Everywhere All at Once, winning a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress.[3]
The film review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes ranked her the greatest action heroine of all time in 2008.[4] In 1997, she was chosen by People as one of the "50 Most Beautiful People in the World", and in 2009 the same magazine listed her as one of the "35 All-Time Screen Beauties".[5] In 2022, Time named her one of the world's 100 most influential people on its annual listicle and its Icon of the Year.[6][7]
Early life and education
Yeoh was born on 6 August 1962 in Ipoh, Perak,[8] to an ethnic Malaysian Chinese family of Hokkien and Cantonese ancestry.[9] Her parents are Janet Yeoh and Yeoh Kian-teik (died on 5 November 2014), a lawyer and a Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA) politician.[10][11] She was brought up in an English-speaking household.[12][13]
Yeoh was keen on dance from an early age, beginning ballet at the age of four. She studied at Main Convent Ipoh, an all-girls secondary school, as a primary student. At the age of 15, she moved with her parents to the United Kingdom, where she was enrolled in an all-girls boarding school.[14][15] Yeoh later studied at the UK's Royal Academy of Dance in London, majoring in ballet. However, a spinal injury prevented her from becoming a professional ballet dancer, and she transferred her attention to choreography and other arts.[16] She received a BA degree in creative arts with a minor in drama in 1982.[13][17]
Career
In 1983, at the age of 20, Yeoh won the Miss Malaysia World contest.[18] She was Malaysia's representative at Miss World 1983 pageant in London. Later that year, she traveled to Australia where she won Miss International Tourism Quest pageant.[19][20][21] From there, she appeared in a television commercial with Jackie Chan which caught the attention of a fledgling Hong Kong film production company, D&B Films. Although she had passive understanding of Ipoh Cantonese of her hometown, she properly learned to speak and write Cantonese when she began her career in Hong Kong.[12][13]
Yeoh started her film career acting in action and martial arts films, where she did most of her own stunts.[22] Already with her third credit, Yes, Madam (1985), she was given a main role.[16] She was credited as Michelle Khan in these earlier films. This alias was chosen by D&B Films, who thought it might be more marketable to international and western audiences. Yeoh married Dickson Poon, who headed the D&B Group, in 1987 and retired from acting.
Yeoh returned to acting with Police Story 3: Super Cop (1992) after having divorced Poon.[18] 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.[18] In the 1997 James Bond film, she played Wai Lin opposite star Pierce Brosnan. Brosnan was impressed, describing her as a "wonderful actress" who was "serious and committed about her work".[23] He referred to her as a "female James Bond" in reference to her combat abilities. She 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.[24][25] In 1997, she 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.[12] The film was an international success, and earned Yeoh a BAFTA 2000 nomination for Best Actress in a Leading Role.
In 2002, Yeoh produced her first English film, The Touch, through her own production company Mythical Films. In 2005, Yeoh starred as Mameha in the film adaptation of Memoirs of a Geisha, and she continued her English-language work in 2007 with Sunshine. In 2008, Yeoh starred in the fantasy action film The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor with Brendan Fraser and Jet Li.[26] In 2011, she portrayed Aung San Suu Kyi in Luc Besson's The Lady.[27] Yeoh was blacklisted by the Burmese government allegedly because of her participation in The Lady; she was refused entry to Myanmar on 22 June 2011 and was deported on the same day.[28]
In October 2011, Yeoh was chosen by Guerlain to be its skincare ambassador.[29] Yeoh's role was to help strengthen the French cosmetics company's relationship with Asia.[30]
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,[31] on the fifth season of the Cinemax/Sky series Strike Back.[32] In 2016, Yeoh was cast as Starfleet Captain Philippa Georgiou of the starship USS Shenzhou in the series Star Trek: Discovery, and recurs as Georgiou's "mirror" doppelganger later in the story.[33][34]
In 2018, Yeoh played family matriarch Eleanor Young in Jon M. Chu's Crazy Rich Asians, a film adaptation of Kevin Kwan's book of the same name, opposite Constance Wu and Henry Golding.[35] Carlos Aguilar of TheWrap described her performance as "convincingly subdued".[36] In 2019, she played Christmas themed-store owner "Santa" in Last Christmas, opposite Henry Golding and Emilia Clarke. The film was released on 8 November 2019, and was a box office success grossing over $121 million worldwide.[37]
Yeoh played Ying Nan in Marvel Studios' Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton.[38] The film was released in theaters on 3 September 2021. 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 Mei-Yin Li, the Beast Queen of the Jungle.[citation needed]
In 2022, Yeoh starred in the science fiction surreal comedy film Everything Everywhere All at Once from filmmaking duo Daniels, released in March to near-universal acclaim.[39] In the film, she played struggling laundromat owner Evelyn Wang, a role that brought her widespread critical acclaim, with David Ehrlich of IndieWire claiming it the "greatest performance that Michelle Yeoh has ever given".[40][41][16] It was for this role that Yeoh earned her first Golden Globe win.[42][43]
Yeoh is set to appear in the upcoming Disney+ series American Born Chinese, based on the book of the same name by Gene Luen Yang.[44] In June 2022, it was announced that she will star in the eight-part series The Brothers Sun for Netflix.[45]
She is also set to star in A Haunting in Venice directed by Kenneth Branagh and as Madame Morrible in the two-part film adaptation of the musical, Wicked directed by Jon M. Chu.[46][47][48]
Personal life
Yeoh was married to Hong Kong entrepreneur Dickson Poon, owner of businesses such as Harvey Nichols and Charles Jourdan,[49] from 1988 to 1992.[16] In 1998, Yeoh was engaged to Alan Heldman, an American cardiologist.[50] In 2004, she started dating Jean Todt,[51] then the General Manager and CEO of Scuderia Ferrari and later the president of the FIA.[52] In July 2008, she confirmed her engagement to him during an interview with Craig Ferguson on CBS's The Late Late Show.[citation needed][53] She lives in Geneva, Switzerland, with her partner.[54]
Yeoh is a Buddhist.[55][56] In March 2008, she visited Vietnam to film a documentary for the Asian Injury Prevention Foundation.[57] Yeoh is a patron of the Save China's Tigers project committed to protecting the endangered South China tiger.[58]
