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).
