Liyana binti Jasmay (born 28 March 1988) is a Malaysian actress, singer, producer and director.[1] [2] [3] [4]

Career

Jasmay's first acting role came in 1997 when she was only nine years old in a TV drama called Si Lembik. The story is similar to the Hollywood film The Little Rascals, where little kids play the roles of adults. It was produced and directed by Aznil Hj Nawawi.

Over the years, Jasmay has made herself a household name by acting in numerous TV drama and TV series including Dendam Terlerai, Balqis, Orang Kasar, Cinta Sempadan, Najwa, and Cinta Si Rempit.

She then made her first silver-screen role in a highly promoted film Castello,[5] where she starred alongside Rosyam Nor.[5] The role earned Jasmay her first Malaysian Film Festival 2006 nomination for the Best New Actress Award.[5]

Her career soared and she won a Best Actress Award for Malaysian Film Festival 2009 for her role in the film Papadom and a Best Actress Award for her role in an indie-gone-mainstream film KAMI.[6]

Jasmay directed and produced a telemovie entitled #SoKampung under her production company, Mermaid Studios, thus marking her directorial debut. This was followed by a teen drama The Gadis.[7]

Personal life

Jasmay married her longtime love, Malaysian businessman Fathuddin Mazlan, on 2 February 2013.[8] [9] [10] They have two daughters, born in 2014 and 2016.[11]

Liyana's father, Jasmay Md Shah died in December 2021 due to lung cancer.[12] [13] This was followed by her mother, Habsah Simpon died in May 2023 due to lymphomal cancer.[14] [15]

Following her parents' death, Liyana expresses her concern that due to genetical factors, she would have a risk to get cancer in an interview with Malaysian newspaper, Kosmo!: "What happened to my parents became a lesson for me since both of them died due to cancer [...] So my genetics are indeed at risk for cancer".[16]

Academics

In 2012, Jasmay went to Manhattan, New York City, undergoing acting and screenwriting/directing courses in New York Film Academy for six months, accompanied by her mother.[17] She is a graduate of Diploma of Performance Art and Media from Sunway University.

Endorsements

Jasmay was the Malaysian Ambassador for Maybelline in 2009 and held the role for three years. She has been the Ambassador for ASAP Smoke Free Lifestyle Campaign since 2011.
