Michelle Yeoh is one of the most famous actresses of Chinese descent. She was born in Malaysia in 1962. In 1983 she became Miss Malaysia in the beauty pageant and was the representative of this country at the Miss World.
From early childhood she studied ballet and dreamed of becoming a prima ballerina. To study, she moved to London with her family, where she graduated from a special boarding school and the Royal Academy of Dance.

The graceful geisha mentor role in Memoirs of a Geisha has allowed Yeoh to move away from adventure and combat. She also played a botanist in the fantasy thriller Inferno about saving the dying sun. In Luc Besson's film Lady, she got the main role of a woman who brought democracy to Burma, became a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, but was separated from her husband and family, and ended up under house arrest of a warring political system for 10 years.
