MICHELLE YEOH

Michelle Yeoh revealed that she entered and won the Miss Malaysia beauty contest in 1983 to “shut her mother up.” In an interview on “The Graham Norton Show” on Feb. 3, Yeoh recalled how her mother, Janet, signed her up for the beauty pageant when she was in her early 20s.

Award-winning actor Michelle Yeoh says Jackie Chan did her a “huge favor” when he turned down the role originally written for him in “Everything Everywhere All At Once” (“EEAAO”). In an interview with CNN, Yeoh, 60, explained that co-directors Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan, collectively known as the Daniels, originally planned for Chan, 68, to play the film’s lead, with Yeoh as his wife. "I have to write something that somebody will make it into a film, and so they wrote it like that way, with Jackie and me as the wife."

Oberon, who was a renowned celebrity in the 1930s, was discovered to have lied about her real birthplace and biracial identity after her death.

The Hollywood Reporter described actress Michelle Yeoh as the first woman who “identifies as Asian” to be nominated for Best Actress after the nominations were announced.

The DreamWorks animated heist movie “The Bad Guys” was the top film in U.S. and Canada theaters for the second straight weekend, while the latest Liam Neeson thriller suggested the actor’s particular set of skills may be wearing thin with audiences.

The follow-up to filmmakers Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert's "Swiss Army Man" is a wildly imaginative, deeply frustrating meditation on the nature of existence.

It’s one of the most imaginative films in modern cinema and it was pure bliss to experience this on the big screen. The film stars Michelle Yeoh as Evelyn Wang, an aging Chinese immigrant who owns a laundromat with her husband Waymond Wang, played by Ke Huy Quan. Evelyn fights to defeat evil by tapping into the alternate versions of herself and borrowing their skills, emotions and memories, all in the face of absurd chaos. The movie is as much of a science-fiction movie as it is an action movie and the fight sequences are nothing short of ridiculous. With the rise of Anti-Asian hate crimes in the past year, it pains me to see my community under attack.
