The Malaysian-born actor became the first Asian woman to win an Oscar for best actress for her multifaceted performance in the multiversal 'Everything Everywhere All at Once.' ♥️
Yeoh got her start in the kung fu cinema world but rose to stardom in 1992 as Jackie Chan's co-star in "Supercop." American audiences got to know her even better over the next decade with hits like "Tomorrow Never Dies" and Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon."
When she first read the script for "Everything Everywhere," Yeoh thought it was "an independent film on steroids." She was ultimately swayed by the opportunity to give voice to immigrant mothers and grandmothers who go unnoticed. The multiverse movie was also a showcase across a bevy of genres - drama, comedy, sci-fi and fantasy.
At 60, Yeoh has been heavily in demand since her standout turn as a controlling matriarch in "Crazy Rich Asians." From there, she has done everything from a "Star Trek" spinoff to Marvel's "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings." Yeoh will be seen later this year in the Disney+ series "American Born Chinese." She is also preparing to reunite with "Crazy Rich Asians" director Jon M. Chu for the screen adaptation of the musical "Wicked."
