Bio
Born in Hong Kong and raised in England, Maggie Cheung (Cheung Man Yuk) entered Hong Kong show business as a TV actress but very quickly made the transition to movies. She broke through to leading roles in important films when she co-starred in Jackie Chan’s POLICE STORY (1985), and has never looked back since. Her many films have included Jeff Lau’s EAGLES SHOOTING HEROES (1993), Peter Chan’s COMRADES, ALMOST A LOVE STORY (1996), Cheung Yuen Ting’s THE SOONG SISTERS (1997), Ann Hui’s autobiographical SONG OF THE EXILE (1990), Stanley Kwan’s CENTRE STAGE (1992, playing the legendary 1930s actress Ruan Lingyu and winning the Silver Bear for Best Actress at Berlin Film Festival), Tsui Hark’s GREEN SNAKE (1993) and Olivier Assayas’ IRMA VEP (1996). She now divides her time between Europe and Hong Kong, appearing in such films as Anne Fontaine’s AUGUSTIN, ROI DU KUNG-FU (1999), Zhang Yimou’s HERO (2002) and Olivier Assayas’ CLEAN (2004), for which she won Best Actress at Cannes Film Festival. Wong Kar Wai cast her in his debut feature AS TEARS GO BY (1988), and she has since starred in his DAYS OF BEING WILD (1990) and IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE (2000) as well as making special guest appearances in 2046 (2004) and ASHES OF TIME REDUX (2008).
