South indian Comedy Actor Vivek

2010-01-14T00:17:00.000-08:00

Actor Name Vivek

Vivek (birth name Vivekanathan) is a Tamil film comedian from India. He holds B.Com. (1978-81) degree from The American College, Madurai. He is one of the leading comedian in Tamil film industry along with Vadivelu. In his career, Vivek has won 5 Filmfare Best Comedian Award for his roles in Khushi, Minnale, Run, Perazhagan, and Sivaji.
In comparison to other comedians in Tamil cinema, Vivek is more of a satirist than a slapstick comedian, who are usually popular in the Tamil film industry. Most of his humour makes people think about the problem and its solution.
His roles usually draw humour from scenes of daily life in Tamil Nadu (especially Chennai) and the surrounding regions.
Some of his most popular jokes involve serious subjects such as bribery, over-population, and political corruption.
Nevertheless, he has appeared in lighter parodies too.

Vivek debuted in with Manathil Uruthi Vendum in 1987. He was usually a comedian in small roles till the late 1990s.
He eventually had larger roles and a separate comedy track for comic relief, even in more serious movies. During his peak he was an important part of movies like Kushi, Minnale, Run and Saamy. During this time, Vivek got multiple Filmfare awards and other awards. In the last couple of years his popularity declined as he only acted in a small fraction of movies compared to his professional rival, Vadivelu. However, with the 2007 blockbuster Sivaji: The Boss, Vivek got more offers. His long pending movie where he played the lead role Solli Addipean is yet to release due to
financial problems. Vivek is recently trying to relaunch himself as a actor in Simbudevan new movie by Ayngaran International. Simbudevan is the director who made Vadivel the comedy king with Imsai Arasan 23am Pulikesi. Producers for this movie are reportedly going to give Vivek the higest salary for comedian in Tamil Film industry of Rs.2lacks.
Vivekanathan is a Tamil film comedian from India. In contrast to other comedians in Tamil cinema, Vivek is more of a satirist than a slapstick comedian.
His movies draw humor from scenes of daily life in Tamil Nadu (especially Chennai) and the surrounding regions.
His jokes often relate to serious subjects, such as bribery, over-population, and political corruption among other things. He is more conscientious and his comedy has more serious undertones than that of his contemporaries.
He often targets hypocrisy in Indian society and politics and uses satire well to point out contradictions which are often taken for granted by people. He is also well known for his readiness to spoof almost any celebrity. He is mostly popular with urban people as his comedy is of more immediate relevance to them.
In rural areas, he is less popular than other comedians such as Vadivelu, Senthil, and Goundamani. He has starred in numerous films since the early 90s as a supporting actor and now as a main comedian.
He has entertained many in his most noted films such as Run, Namma Veetu Kalyanam, Dhool, M. Kumaran son of Mahalakshmi, and many others. He is famously called as Chinna Kalaivanar for his message-oriented comedies.
Vivek will appear in other films to come. He is most expected in the upcoming film Sivaji starring Rajinikanth and Shriya Saran. Vivek is playing the lead in the movie “Solli Adippen. Recently the CD release for Solli Adippen was held and Superstar Rajnikanth, Director Shankar, Director K. Balachander presided the function.

Hollywood actress Maria Berry

2010-01-09T23:34:00.000-08:00

Actress and model. Halle Maria Berry was born August 14th, 1966, in Cleveland, Ohio. The youngest daughter born to Jerome and Judith Berry, an interracial couple. Halle and her older sister Heidi spent the first few years of their childhood living in an inner-city neighborhood. In the early 1970s, Jerome Berry abandoned his wife and children, after which Judith moved her family to the predominantly white Cleveland suburb of Bedford.
Berry attended a nearly all-white public school, and as a result was subjected to discrimination at an early age. Her early bouts with racism greatly influenced her desire to excel. Throughout high school, the determined teen participated in a dizzying array of extracurricular activities, holding positions of newspaper editor, class president, and head cheerleader.
A natural performer, Berry earned a handful of beauty pageant titles during the early 1980s, including Miss Teen Ohio and Miss Teen America. She was eventually awarded first runner-up in the 1985 Miss U.S.A. competition. For a short time she attended Cleveland 's Cuyahoga Community College, where she studied broadcast journalism. However, Berry abandoned her idea of a career in news reporting before receiving her degree. Choosing to wholeheartedly devote her time to a career in entertainment, Berry first moved to Chicago and then New York City, where she found work as a catalog model.
As the 80s turned into the 90s, the aspiring actress began a career in television with a role on the short-lived sitcom Living Dolls (1989), followed by a year-long run on the CBS prime-time drama Knot's Landing, in 1991. Berry's first big-screen break came later that year when she was cast as Samuel L. Jackson's drug-addicted girlfriend in Spike Lee's crticially acclaimed film, Jungle Fever. More substantial supporting roles followed, including that of a stripper in the action-thriller The Last Boy Scout (1991), starring Bruce Willis, and as the woman who finally wins Eddie Murphy's heart in the romantic comedy Boomerang (1992).
With a few films under her belt, Berry accepted more offbeat roles, making cameos in the rockumentary CB4 (1993), which traced the rise and fall of a rap group by the same name. In 1994, the live-action version of The Flintstones featured Berry as a Stone Age seductress.
Berry offered a no-holds-barred performance as a rehabilitated crack addict seeking to regain custody of her son in Losing Isaiah (1995). Berry, who played opposite Jessica Lange and David Strathairn, was noted for her believable portrayal of a mother struggling with addiction and loss. Later that year, Berry overcame Hollywood's racial barriers when she was cast as the first African-American to play the Queen of Sheeba in Showtime's movie Solomon & Sheeba.
Berry's acting credits the next year included two 1996 crime thrillers: The Rich Man's Wife, and Executive Decision. The latter film marked Berry's first leading role in a feature
Halle Berry, $14 mil. What she should be asking: $5 mil. Once she lost her shot at launching a new franchise as 007's Jinx, she lost what should have been her biggest paydays. Alas, she's now the wrong side of 40, andHollywood is cruel that way.

I kind of want to look, but I'm always afraid that I'm going to look too long and see the one image that I'm not going to be able to get out of my head for at least a week every night before I'm going to bed.

Her parents divorced soon after she was born, but she also has a half-brother, called John Blyth Barrymore and two half sisters - Blyth Dolores Barrymore and Brahma (Jessica) Blyth Barrymore.
As if it weren’t enough that both her parents were actors, Drew was born into an acting dynasty that stretched back for over two hundred years. Her grandfather, John Barrymore, was widely regarded as the most outstanding and highly acclaimed actor of his generation, and her grandmother, Dolores Costello, was also a very gifted actress. A couple of generations earlier, her great-great grandparents John Drew and Louisa Lane Drew were also actors; as were her great grandparents Maurice Barrymore, Georgiana Drew and Maurice Costello.
Drew is also the grand-niece of Lionel Barrymore, Ethel Barrymore and Helene Costello, and the great grand-niece of John Drew Jr., the actress Louisa Drew, and the silent film actor/writer/director Sidney Drew. In addition, her father and half-brother are also both actors.
And if all that weren’t enough, Drew also happens to be the god-daughter of movie director Steven Spielberg. Drew’s first name was the maiden name of her paternal great-grandmother, Georgiana Drew; her middle name, Blyth, was the original surname of the acting dynasty founded by her great-grandfather, the famous Maurice Barrymore.
With such an extraordinary acting background, maybe it was a foregone conclusion that Drew should follow in the footsteps of her illustrious forbears. Amazingly, she actually made her acting debut at the age of only 11 months old, when she auditioned for a dog food commercial. Right from the start, Drew showed herself to be a true “pro” - when she was bitten by her co-star, the dog, the
producers naturally assumed that she’d burst out crying - but instead, she simply laughed it off, and secured her first job on the spot!
Drew went on to even greater things at a very early age, and soon became one of Hollywood‘s foremost child actresses. She played the part of Gerties in Steven Spielberg’s classic film, ET: The Extra Terrestrial at the age of seven, and this was the role that first made her famous. Two years later, she followed this up by playing the role of Casey Brodsky in Irreconcileable Differences; her performance in this movie secured her a Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actress.
Despite the early stardom, Drew underwent a difficult and stormy childhood, which drove her to seek solace in drugs and alcohol at a shockingly young age. She was already a regular club-goer at the famous Studio 54 in New York, despite the fact that she was actually still a child, and her constant partying served to make her a well-known name in the tabloid gossip columns. She was allegedly drinking
alcohol by the time she was nine, smoking marijuana at the age of ten, and had graduated to snorting cocaine by the time she reached 12.
Drew talks about this unhappy period of her life at some length in her autobiography, “Little Girl Lost“, in particular the lack of support
that she feels she failed to receive from her mother. In order to underline this fact, Drew officially “divorced” her mother when she reached the age of 17. But she claims to be pleased at the fact that she succeeded in achieving a reconciliation with her father, shortly before he died. Notwithstanding her troubled relationship with her parents, Drew enrolled in a rehab programme, and succeeded in overcoming her problems with alcohol and substance abuse by the time she had left her teens.
Despite winning her battle with her addictions, Drew still retained something of a “naughty girl” image, which she capitalised upon in her comeback movie, Poison Ivy, in 1992. In this film, Drew played a malicious, evil-minded teenage temptress, and and cast aside her child star image in order to reinvent herself as a newfound sex symbol.

Drew also continued to attract the attention of the tabloids, thanks to her habit of allowing herself to be filmed and photographed in compromising poses. She posed nude for the January 1995 issue of Playboy magazine, much to the disgust of her god-father Steven Spielberg, who sent her a quilt as a 20th birthday present, together with a card that bore the message, “Cover Yourself Up”. He also enclosed various
copies of the Playboy pictures, that he’d had specially altered by his art department, so that Drew now appeared fully clothed.
Around this same period, Drew had actually appeared in the nude in her last five movies. She also attracted media attention for her exhibitionistic behaviour during an appearance on the David Letterman Show. During the interview, Drew climbed on to the talk show host’s desk and, with her back to the camera, bared both her breasts to him! Apparently, Drew’s flamboyant gesture was intended to be a birthday
present for Mr Letterman...

Drew built on the success she’d achieved in Poison Ivy, and also appeared in the successful 1996 horror film, Scream. Since her comeback in the 1990s, she has continued to be highly popular with cinema-going audiences, especially when she appears in romantic comedies, such as The Wedding Singer (1998) Never Been Kissed (1999) and in particular, 50 First Dates (2004). One critic who reviewed the film described Drew as having a “smiling, coy sincerity”, and the film itself as “ingratiating and lovable”.

Barrymore also starred in the action movie “Charlie’s Angels, where she teamed up with fellow Hollywood stars Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu; the trio of beauties have subsequently become firm friends. Charlie’s Angels was one of the first films that Drew produced, and she now has her own production company called Flower Films. Shortly after the success of Charlie’s Angels, Drew achieved box-office success for her straight dramatic acting in Riding in Cars With Boys, a story that was based on the real-life story of Beverly D’Onofrio, a teenage mother who experienced a failed relationship with her drug-addicted boyfriend.

Next came Richard Kelly’s debut movie, Donnie Darko, where she played the character of Karen Pomeroy, Donnie Darko’s English teacher.
In 2002, Drew appeared in Confessions of A Dangerous Mind, alongside one of the other main Hollywood leading ladies, Julia Roberts.

In 2003, Drew starred in the sequel to Charlie’s Angels; the follow-up movie as called Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle. To mark the occasion, Maxim Magazine featured Drew and her fellow Angels Diaz and Liu in their “Girls of Maxim” gallery, shortly after the film was released. To mark the fact that Drew Barrymore had succeeded in totally reinventing herself, she received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on February 3rd, 2004.
In more recent years, Drew’s screen image has become progressively more “normal” and wholesome, in contrast to her former image as a recovering substance and alcohol abuser, “teenage sexpot” and “poor little rich girl.” Some of her greatest successes have been garnered from her starring performances in romantic comedies, such as The Wedding Singer and 50 First Dates, alongside goofball comedy actor Adam Sandler.

In 2005, se was the subject of a film called My Date With Drew, where a wannabe film-maker and Drew Barrymore fan strives to obtain a date with the celebrity object of his affections! She has also scored a hit as a comedy actress throughherappearance as a recurring character on the animated comedy Family Guy, where she has played the role of Brian Griffin’s shallow girlfriend Jillian in
several episodes.

Most recently, Drew has appeared in the films Lucky You (2007) and Music and Lyrics (2007) where she co-stars with Hugh Grant. Drew has always loved to sing, and this film provided the perfect vehicle her vocal talents, since she insisted on singing all her own songs on the movie soundtrack. Her numerous screen performances have resulted in handsome box office returns: to date, she has a worldwide box office
gross that stands at $2.3 billion. According to the Hollywood Reporter’s annual Star Salary Top 10, she received the second highest salary per movie in Hollywood in 2006.

Drew is a big success on TV shows too. In common with Adam Sandler, she has been a guest host on Saturday Night Live - five times so far, at the time of writing. Drew also has the honour of being he youngest ever celebrity to host the show, since she first hosted SNL in 1982, when she was only 7! Drew’s love life, however, looks to have been slightly less fortunate than her career, for she‘s been married and divorced twice. She married Jeremy Thomas in 1994, and the couple were divorced in 1995. She then married Tom Green in 2001, and got divorced in 2002.
Most recently, she split from her long-term boyfriend, Fabrizio (Fab) Moretti.

She still considers herself an incurable romantic, however, and describes herself as “a sucker for romance”! Even if her love life runs less than smoothly, it’s almost certain that she’ll be starring in many, many more big-screen romances in movie theatres worldwide Drew Barrymore, $15 mil. What she should be asking: $3 mil. Drew has never been able to open a movie, and she never will. That doesn't mean she isn't sweet onscreen, but lately her roles have been too saccharine. If only she'd bring back that Poison Ivy edginess she once had. Women like her but they don't want to be her (or even briefly married to Tom Green), whereas men don't think she's hot anymore. Drew's price should go up when she grows up.

hollywood actress Renée Zellweger

2010-01-08T08:25:00.000-08:00

Actress. Born April 25, 1969, in Katy, Texas. Raised in a small town outside Houston, Texas,Renée Zellweger took up acting in college. She appeared in bit parts in mainstream movies like Dazed and Confused (1993) and Reality Bites (1994) before earning praise for her leading roles in the independent films Love and a .45 (1994) and The Whole Wide World (1996), co-starring Vincent
D'Onofrio.
Director Cameron Crowe surprised many when he cast the relatively unknown actress as Dorothy Boyd,the single mother who is swept off her feet by Tom Cruise's soul-searching sports agent in Jerry Maguire (1996).
The film's critical and commercial success made Zellweger one of Hollywood's hottest new commodities.Instead of cashing in with another big-budget film, however, she took a risk and made several independent films, including Deceiver (1997), opposite Tim Roth, and A Price Above Rubies (1998), in which she played a rebellious wife in a Hasidic Jewish family.
Zellweger later turned in a critically acclaimed performance opposite Meryl Streep in One True Thing(1998), an adaptation of Anna Quindlen's novel about a daughter coping with her mother's slow death from cancer.
In 1999, she starred with Chris O'Donnell in The Bachelor and made headlines on account of her budding romance with comic star Jim Carrey. In the comedy Me, Myself and Irene (2000), written and directed by Peter and Bobby Farrelly, Carrey played a character with two personalities, both of whom are in love with Zellweger's Irene. That same year, Zellweger won a Golden Globe for the black comedy Nurse Betty, costarring Morgan Freeman, Chris Rock, and Greg Kinnear.
In 2001, Zellweger starred as the neurotic British title character in the film adaptation of Helen Fielding's bestselling novel, Bridget Jones's Diary. The film costarred Hugh Grant and Colin Firth, and its sequel, The Edge of Reason, was released in 2004. In 2003, Zellweger earned her second Goden Globe for her performance in Chicago, the film adaptation of the 1970s musical costarring Richard Gere and Catherine Zeta-Jones. That year, she also starred in the retro-romantic comedy Down With Love opposite Ewan McGregor. The following year, Zellweger continued her winning streak by capturing the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her performance as Ruby in the Civil War drama Cold Mountain. In 2005, she costarred in Cinderella Man with Russell Crowe. Upcoming projects include the biopic Piece of My
Heart, in which Zellweger stars as singing legend Janis Joplin.
Zellweger tied the knot with country music star Kenny Chesney on May 8, 2005, then filed for an annulment four months later citing "fraud."
Renee Zellweger, $15 mil. What she should be earning: $5 mil. Renee doesn't open movies, unless the material is Bridget Jones-cloned. She's fine as the wife or girlfriend, but then her price needs to be cut by a third. Worse, audiences are getting sick of her changing hair color whenever she changes parts.
That's a dye job, not an acting job. Sadly, she's lost her once winning girl-next-door quality; now she's trying to be a fashion diva. Ugh.

Hollywood actress reese witherspoon

Reese Witherspoon was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana but moved to Nashville, TN early on. Her father, John, is a surgeon and her mother, Betty, is a pediatric nurse. Reese has said that if she wasn't an actress she would've become a physician too. While growing up, she went to a private girls school and only considered
acting a hobby. Things changed in Reese Witherspoon's junior and senior years of high school when she landed the lead role in a feature film The Man in the Moon. Reese Witherspoon suddenly found herself faxing in her homework assignments.
Reese Witherspoon - No Scream Queen Reese Witherspoon's teen thriller Fear, in 1996, really started to get her noticed by the public. The flick, which also starred Mark Wahlberg, had movie peeps offering Reese roles in Scream, Urban Legends and I Know What You Did Last Summer - but she turned them all down. She didn't want to be labeled a "scream queen" and Reese says horror films, "aren't her cup of tea."
Reese Witherspoon - Love Letters
Reese Witherspoon threw herself a big bash for her 21st birthday, which included about 300 guests. One of the guests was fellow actor, Ryan Phillippe. Unfortunately, as fate would have it, Ryan was jetting off to North Carolina the very next day
to film I Know What You Did Last Summer (the movie she had just turned down). The pair wrote each other letters the entire time he was away. Ryan and Reese were engaged in 1998 and married in 1999. They also filmed the blockbuster hit Cruel
Intentions together.
Reese Witherspoon - Funny Gal
Reese Witherspoon has played a lot of successful comedy roles, but none of them compare to her character, Elle Woods, from the Legally Blonde movies. With her passion for pink, her pint-sized dog Bruiser and her hottie boyfriend, played
by Luke Wilson, Elle Woods is a smart, sassy role model for tons of girls.
Reese Witherspoon - Super Mom
Reese Witherspoon is defintely a modern woman, juggling a busy film career, marriage and raising two kids! Reese took a bit of a break after her Legally Blonde sequel but is now back on the big screen with a couple flicks in 2005. On September
16, 2005 you'll be able to check her out in the romantic comedy, Just Like Heaven and then in November 2005, Reese will star in the Johnny Cash biopic, Walk the Line, alongside Joaquin Phoenix.
Reese Witherspoon, $15 mil. What she should be earning: $25 mil.
Reese can do no wrong. Women love her, men love her, the camera loves her. And she's smart: when she was looking for a new agency, she lamented not owning her Legally Blonde character because it'll be Broadway bound. Which doesn't mean
all her films are great, but she's always great in them. She opens a movie. 'Nuff said Page1 of 1 Cite This Site Print Article

hollywood actress Nicole kid man

2010-01-08T08:04:00.000-08:00

Nicole Kidman

Birth Date: June 20, 1967
Birth Place: Honolulu, Hawaii

Nicole Kidman is an Academy Award winning actress. In 2006, she was the highest-paid actress in the movie industry.

Nicole Kidman: Childhood

Nicole Kidman was born in Honolulu, Hawaii to Janelle Ann Glenny Kidman and Dr. Antony David Kidman. Her mother is a nursing instructor.
Antony is a biochemist and clinical psychologist in New South Wales. The family returned to live permanently in Australia when Nicole was four.

When Nicole Kidman left school, she studied at the Philip Street Theatre (with her friend, actress Naomi Watts) and the Australian Theatre for Young People.

Nicole Kidman: Acting Career

In 1983, Nicole Kidman appeared in a Pat Wilson music video for the song 'Bop Girl'. By the end of 1983, Kidman had secured TV work, in the series Five Mile Creek as well as film work, in BMX Bandits and Bush Christmas. She went on to appear in a number of Australian films and television series, whilst still in her teens. Most notably, she featured in A Country Practise, Emerald City and Bangkok Hilton.

Nicole Kidman gained her first batch of good critical reviews in 1989 for her appearance in Dead Calm, alongside Billy Zane and Sam Neill.
The next year, she starred in Days Of Thunder, which also starred Tom Cruise. Kidman and Cruise co-starred again in 1992, in Far And Away.
Three years later, she was a member of the Batman Forever cast.
In 1995, Kidman's critical acclaim rose to a new level. To Die For was a satirical comedy that won her a Golden Globe Award as well as another five 'best actress' awards. In 1999, both Kidman and Cruise appeared in Stanley Kubrick's final film, Eyes Wide Shut. Kidman's 2001 performance in Moulin Rouge earned her an Academy Award nomination. She played the character Satine, opposite Ewan McGregor. The role also won her her second Golden Globe Award. Having broken her ribs filming Moulin Rouge! Kidman was forced to turn down the lead role in Panic Room,
which was eventually taken by Jodie Foster. She did, however, appear in The Others, a horror film that was well received. Further acclaim for Kidman came with her role as Virginia Woolf in The Hours. The film earned her another Academy Award as well as a Golden Globe and a BAFTA,along with a number of smaller awards.
In 2002, Kidman transferred her talents to the stage, in London and New York, appearing in The Blue Room. The play was a huge success and became notable for Kidman exposing her flesh to the audience. That same year, Kidman appeared in three starkly contrasting films: Dogville, by Lars Von Trier, the Human Stain, alongside Anthony Hopkins and Cold Mountain, which earned her yet another Golden Globe nomination.
However, Nicole Kidman suffered a small fall from grace in 2004 when her appearance in The Stepford Wives (along with Bette Midler, Faith Hill and Glenn Close) was slammed by movie critics. Her next film, Birth, won a Golden Lion nomination at the Venice Film Festival as well as a Golden Globe nomination for Kidman.

In 1995, Kidman starred in The Interpreter, which was a commercial success, grossing almost $165 million at the box office. Her second film of the year was Bewitched, based on the 1960's TV sitcom of the same name.
Following these releases, Kidman starred in the Diane Arbus bio-pic, Fur, provided a voice for the animated Happy Feet and featured in the sci-fi
movie The Invasion.
Nicole Kidman was chosen to star in the first film of Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy, the Golden Compass. The lack of box office success, however suggests that a sequel may not be likely.

Nicole Kidman: Personal Life

Kidman married her several-time co-star Tom Cruise on Christmas Eve, 1990. They adopted two children, Isabella Jane (b.1992) and Connor Anthony (b.1995). Not long after their 10th wedding anniversary the pair split and Kidman suffered a miscarriage. The marriage was dissolved in 2001, with
'irreconcilable differences' cited as the reason.
Other brief romantic affairs include Robbie Williams and Lenny Kravitz.
In January 2005, Kidman met the country singer Keith Urban. They married in June 2006.In January 2008, it was confirmed that Nicole was three months pregnant with the couple's first child together.
Nicole Kidman, makes $16 mil-$17 mil. What she should be earning: -$1 mil. That's right, I'm saying that Nicole should be paying film companies to hire her, not the other way around. That's because she's poison at the box office, the female equivalent of Sean Penn. Women dislike her, men don't think she's sexy, and those Chanel ads induce nausea. My guess is Nicole's rate dates back to Sony Pictures overpaying her for that bomb Bewitched. Since then, she's been doing smaller films, but is signing for studio projects right now. Note to majors: save your $$$ and hire
Reese or Angelina.
Nicole Mary Kidman (born June 20, 1967) is an Academy Award winning Australian actress, producer, and singer. She was born in Honolulu, Hawaii to Dr Antony David Kidman and Janelle Ann (nee MacNeille). At the time, her father was a cancer research specialist in Washington, D.C. The family returned to Australia when Nicole was four years old, when Tony Kidman took on a lectureship at the University of Technology, Sydney.

Partial Biography
Hailed by producer-director Oliver Stone as "my all-time favorite actress", Hong Kong film star Michelle Yeoh (a.k.a. Michelle Khan) has no counterpart in Hollywood. She is a woman who has gained fame
Hailed by producer-director Oliver Stone as "my all-time favorite actress", Hong Kong film star Michelle Yeoh (a.k.a. Michelle Khan) has no counterpart in Hollywood. She is a woman who has gained fame and fortune by starring in action films. Like leading male action hero Jackie Chan, Yeoh has been celebrated for performing her own death-defying stunts and handling her own fight scenes. Moreover, she has cultivated this reputation without compromising her femininity. Yeoh's formidable beauty, poise and winning personality are what brought her to Hong Kong in the first place.
Born Yeoh Chu-Kheng in Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia, the ethnically Chinese Yeoh received her primary and secondary education in her homeland. She displayed an early propensity for things physical, even competing nationally in squash, swimming and diving in her teens. Her true love, however, was dance. Moving to England, Yeoh earned her BA at London's Royal Academy of Dance with a dance major and a minor in drama. After a serious ballet injury derailed her postgraduate studies, she briefly shifted her focus to choreography. Yeoh tried her hand at acting in stage productions but did not particularly enjoy it and decided to return to her native Malaysia. Arriving home, Yeoh was dismayed to learn that her mother had entered her in a beauty pageant. Nevertheless, she decided to follow through with her mother's brainstorm and went on to be crowned Miss Malaysia in 1983.
While in the midst of her beauty queen chores, Yeoh took a vacation in Hong Kong where she was approached by D and B Films to make a commercial with action-comedy star Jackie Chan. This lead to a commercial with the ultra-cool Chow Yun-fat and a contract with D and B Films. Urged to try her hand at features, Yeoh made her film debut in "Owl vs. Dumbo" (1985), an action comedy starring (and directed by) Samo Hung. Beginning with her next film, "Yes, Madam!" (also 1985; retitled "Police Assassins 2" for UK release and "Super Cops" in the USA), Hung and D and B Films began grooming her to become Asia's foremost female action star. Yeoh was teamed with blonde American martial arts champion Cynthia Rothrock playing female "buddy" cops for that maiden action outing. Not yet capable of doing all her own stunts, she had veteran stuntman Stanley Tong (who would subsequently direct some of her features) doubling for her in some scenes.
Though she had no prior martial arts training, Yeoh proved a natural--and a quick study. Her extensive background in dance and movement gave her the strength and agility needed to appear credible in her action scenes. Yeoh's dedication and willingness to work through pain and injuries quickly won her the respect of Hong Kong action producers, directors and stunt men. She made four more films in the ensuing four yearsall profitable except for the globe-trotting caper flick "Easy Money" (1988)and became a beloved movie star. This was doubtlessly abetted by her characters' tendency to rely more on resourcefulness and intellect than on brawn. At the (first) peak of her success, Yeoh stunned her fans with the announcement of her impending marriage and retirement. At the request of her husband, billionaire studio head Dickson Poon, Yeoh left acting for the three years they were married.
After divorcing Poon, the former action diva made a resounding comeback opposite Jackie Chan in "Police Story 3: Supercop" (1992). Playing a mainland Chinese policewoman aiding a Hong Kong cop Chan on an undercover mission in China, Yeoh was the first female co-star to receive equal footing with Chan. Indeed she even received more positive notices with her breath-taking stunt work. Highlights included dropping off of a bus and onto a car driven by Chan. In the first take, Yeoh slid off the hood and over the side of the car; only her co-star's quick reflexes prevented her from cracking her skull. Another memorable sequence had Yeoh using a motorcyclea vehicle which she had never before drivento jump onto a moving train. This risky stunt required five takes.
Yeoh's renewed popularity was even more impressive than her initial success. Now the highest paid actress in Hong Kong, she appeared in ten films over the next four years. Her follow-up, "The Heroic Trio" (1992) was a distaff action classic of sorts. Yeoh joined forces with Anita Mui (as the masked heroine Wonder Woman), Maggie Cheung (as the motorcycle-riding mercenary Thief Catcher) to play the Invisible Woman, a heroine who receives the power to turn invisible with the aid of a special suit. She was also effective playing a down-on-her-luck street person who regains her self-respect with the help of Buddhist monk-turned-adventurer Jet Li in the rousing "Tai-Chi Master" (1993). She shone on her own in "Project S/Once a Cop" (also 1993) which culminated in an awesome fight scene wherein she battles a man twice her size.
The year 1996 proved noteworthy for the Hong Kong action star. On the advice of her manager Terrence Chang, she adopted the last name Khan as part of her assault on the English-speaking film market. "Supercop" was released to healthy US box office in a dubbed (Yeoh dubbed her own voice) and slightly edited form. She also incurred her first serious injury making "Stunt Woman/Ah Kam/The Story of Stuntwoman Ah Kam", a reflexive story about the travails of a stuntwoman in Hong Kong action films, falling 18 feet and landing on her head. Worse yet, Yeoh heard what she thought was the sound of her back snapping in the process. Though she was sidelined for awhile, Yeoh's injuries were not quite that dire. Still, her doctors were reportedly amazed that she could walk at all. Confounding the experts, Yeoh was soon not only back on her feet but ready to pursue a film career in America. She next turned up (again using the name Michelle Yeoh) in the 18th James Bond feature, "Tomorrow Never Dies" (1997). opposite Pierce Brosnan. Yeoh seemed well-suited to support an action hero even more iconic than Jackie Chan.
Her next released film, Song Jia Huang Chao (The Soong Sisters, 1997), a sweeping epic about Chinas troubled history during the first half of the 20th century as seen through the real-life story of the powerful Soong sisters, was actually shot in 1995. But censorship from the Chinese governmentmainly due to the sisters standing as enemies of the statehalted release of the film despite previous script approval by the government. After extensive cuts, the feature was finally released and Yeohonce again billed as Michelle Khanwas seen playing Ai-ling, the wife of a wealthy industrialist (Niu Zhenhua) and symbol of the rising force of capitalism in communist China. The film went on to win five awards at the 1998 Hong Kong Film Awards.
After appearing in a middle-of-the-road martial arts feature, Twin Warriors (1999), Yeoh achieved her biggest exposure to date with a starring role in the Oscar-winning Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000). Beautifully directed by Ang Lee, this martial arts epic set in 19th century China was equally balanced between thrilling action sequences and emotionally resonant characters. Yeoh gave one of her finest performances as Yu Shu Lien, the secret love of Li Mu Bai (Chow Yun-Fat), a retiring martial arts master who entrusts her with delivering the Green Destiny, an invincible 400-year-old sword, to another master. After the sword is stolen by the feisty and lethal daughter (Ziyi Zhang) of the provinces governor, the two traverse the country in search of the weapon and ultimately the murderer of Lis former master. In one thrilling action sequence, Yeoh and Zhang battle each other after theft of the sword, magically running up walls and dancing across rooftopsa standout sequence that underscored the films lyric beauty. Meanwhile, Yeoh earned a couple of nominations for Best Actress, including nods at the 2000 BAFTA Awards and 2000 Hong Kong Film Awards.
Yeoh next starred in Hong Kongs official entry for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 2002, The Touch, a romantic actioner about brother and sister acrobats sworn to protect a priceless treasure in an underground palace on the Silk Road. In Silver Hawk (2003), she returned to more cartoonish action fare, playing an environmental activist by day and avenging heroine by night who pursues a rogue British agent (Luke Goss) on the lamb after kidnapping a Chinese scientist (Chen Daming) in possession of a new intelligence technology. Yeoh then had a strong supporting role in Memoirs of a Geisha (2005), Rob Marshalls long-awaited adaptation of Arthur Goldens best-selling novel about a poor Japanese girl torn from her home and raised in a geisha house. Under the tutelage of the famed Mameha (Yeoh), the girl develops into Sayuri, a beautiful and accomplished geisha who captivates some of the most powerful men in the world, only to be haunted by a secret love for the one man beyond her reach (Ken Watanabe). Meanwhile, Yeoh was cast in Sunshine (lensed in 2005), a sci-fi thriller about a group of astronauts sent to discover what happened to a missing space crew.

Hollywood Actor Jackie chan

2010-01-07T09:20:00.000-08:00

Jackie Chan was born in Hong Kong on April 7th, 1954. His parents, Charles and Lee-lee Chan named him Chan Kong-sang which means "born in Hong Kong." Jackie weighed 12 pounds when he was born and his mother required surgery to deliver him. Jackie's parents were so poor that they had to borrow money from friends to pay the doctor.

Although Jackie's parents were poor, they had steady jobs at the French embassy in Hong Kong. Charles was a cook and Lee-lee was a housekeeper. Together, the Chan family lived on Victoria Peak in Hong Kong. When Jackie was young, his father would wake him early in the morning and together they would practice kung fu. Charles Chan believed that learning kung fu would help build Jackie's character, teaching him patience, strength, and courage.

When Jackie was seven years old Charles took a job as the head cook at the American embassy in Australia. He felt that it would be best for Jackie to stay behind in Hong Kong to learn a skill and so enrolled him in the China Drama Academy where Jackie would live for the next 10 years of his life.

During Jackie's time at the school, he learned martial arts, acrobatics, singing, and acting. The school was meant to prepare boys for a life in the Peking Opera. Chinese opera was very different from any other kind of opera. It included singing, tumbling, and acrobatics as well as martial arts skills and acting. Students at the school were severely disciplined and were beaten if they disobeyed or made mistakes. It was a very harsh and difficult life but Jackie had nowhere else to go, so he stayed. He rarely saw his parents for many years.

While at the China Academy, Jackie made his acting debut at age eight in the Cantonese movie "Seven Little Valiant Fighters: Big and Little Wong Tin Bar." He later teamed with other opera students in a performance group called "The Seven Little Fortunes." Fellow actors Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao were also members. Years later the three would work together and become known as The Three Brothers. As Jackie got older he worked as a stuntman and an extra in the Hong Kong film industryWhile at the China Academy, Jackie made his acting debut at age eight in the Cantonese movie "Seven Little Valiant Fighters: Big and Little Wong Tin Bar." He later teamed with other opera students in a performance group called "The Seven Little Fortunes." Fellow actors Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao were also members. Years later the three would work together and become known as The Three Brothers. As Jackie got older he worked as a stuntman and an extra in the Hong Kong film industry 17, he graduated from the China Drama Academy. Unfortunately the Chinese opera was no longer very popular, so Jackie and his classmates had to find other work. This was difficult because at the school they were never taught how to read or write. The only work available to them was unskilled labor or stunt work. Each year many movies were made in Hong Kong and there was always a need for young, strong stuntmen. Jackie was extraordinarily athletic and inventive, and soon gained a reputation for being fearless; Jackie Chan would try anything. Soon he was in demand.

Over the next few years, Jackie worked as a stuntman, but when the Hong Kong movie industry began to fail, he was forced to go to Australia to live with his parents. He worked in a restaurant and on a construction site. It was there that he got the name "Jackie." A worker named Jack had trouble pronouncing "Kong-sang" and started calling Jackie "little Jack." That soon became “Jackie” and the name stuck.

Jackie was becoming a huge success in Asia. Unfortunately, it would be many years before the same could be said of his popularity in America. After a series of lukewarm receptions in the U.S., mostly due to miscasting, Jackie left the States and focused his attention on making movies in Hong Kong. It would be 10 years before he returned to make Rumble in the Bronx, the movie that introduced Jackie to American audiences and secured him a place in their hearts (and their box office). Rumble was followed by the Rush Hour and Shanghai Noon series which put Jackie on the Hollywood A List.

Despite his Hollywood successes, Jackie became frustrated by the lack of varied roles for Asian actors and his own inability to control certain aspects of the filming in America. He continued to try, however, making The Tuxedo, The Medallion, and Around the World in 80 Days, none of which was the blockbuster that Rush Hour or Shanghai Noon had been Jackie has been married to Lin Feng-Jiao since 1982 and has a son, actor-singer Jaycee Chan.
